Read MoreJennifer and Justin's Downtown Winter Wedding
Winter weddings are something aren’t they? You’ve got to find that balance between looking good and not freezing till you turn blue. Where I used to live and work the winters were brutal. Thankfully here in Williamsburg it seems like we are getting through the worst of it by the time February ends. This beautiful winter wedding took place downtown and combined strikingly classic features with care and love enough to make everyone in attendance feel warm. Even the smiles on Jennifer and Justin’s faces are enough to warm me today.
Read MoreParisian Bridal Shower
This bride’s parents really pulled out all of the stops for her Parisian themed bridal shower. It was the perfect blend of classy, feminine, sweet, and fun to leave all those in attendance with big smiles and happy memories. All of the decorations and treats were so expertly done that it was hard to believe this was all for the guests to enjoy. Bridal showers are a wonderful time to express who you are and to have a bit of over the top fun.
Cheers
Read MoreGolf Country Club Summer Wedding
The big thing in this region is Country Club Weddings. Thankfully I have a long history of photographing weddings at Country Clubs. My first real “big” wedding was actually at a Country Club. There is a certain charm that the historic Country Clubs bring to a wedding day, you can really feel the history there.

Megan and Noah's Winter Wedding
You may remember these two from an earlier blog post with their snuggly (it can be an adjective) engagement photographs. They got married last winter, got it in right before COVID made life challenging. Well their wedding photographs turned out as intimate as their engagement did. I always enjoy when I get to travel to people’s homes to photograph them getting ready for their wedding day. It just adds to the story. I also love when couples decide to do a first look; it really makes the whole day go easier. It was really great getting to photograph their couples portraits by the bay; everything just clicked.
Please enjoy Megan and Noah’s winter wedding.
cheers
Cassie and Mike's Summer Baltimore Wedding
So here we are, post-COVID quarantine. I know many of you (myself included) have had to plan and re-plan our weddings. Personally I’m on plan D, but its going to be great. Cassie and Mike made it through with plan C but it required some last minute jostling and rearranging to make sure their wedding and reception could still happen safely and legally in this post-quarantine reality. I know that planning a wedding in Baltimore City has been challenging with the differences in restrictions between the state and downtown. The good news is (as of writing this) a lot of the restrictions have been loosened.

So if you are looking for a place to get married, The Mansion at Valley Country Club is a great spot. You’ll notice they pop up on my blog a lot but there’s a reason for that; it’s just a really solid place to have your wedding and reception or one or both. The staff there are so easy to work with and its just a beautiful place to get married if you don’t necessarily want to be in downtown Baltimore City but you want to still enjoy the city.
Read MoreNicole and Nick's Summer Mansion at Valley Country Club Wedding
Nick and Nicole, got married at a lovely little church in the middle of no where up near the PA boarder. As those of you from Maryland know, the weather was all over the place. Their Summer wedding was one of the hottest and most humid day’s we’d experienced this year but you wouldn’t know it looking at this couple. After their wedding, the wedding party made its way to The Mansion at Valley Country Club for their cocktail hour and reception. If you’re looking for a lovely and intimate place to host your wedding and reception, I can’t recommend them enough. Their staff is accommodating and helpful beyond measure. Just let me say…the crab cakes are amazing.
Read MoreAme and Jason's Summer Antrim 1844 Wedding
There’s a few wedding venues in Maryland that just give me that “wedding magic” feel; Antrim 1844 is definitely one of those locations. With its historic architecture, stunning gardens, and classy decorating, Antrim 1844 allows its guests to get lost in the feeling of the day. Ame and her bridesmaids got ready for the wedding day in Antrim’s bridal suite while Jason and his grooms-people did their thing in the carriage house.
