After falling in love in New Zealand and nine years of long distances, lengthy visa processes and a move to DC, Ryan and Ashley weren’t about to let a little (okay a lot!) of rain ruin their wedding day. Their wedding was probably the rainiest we’ve ever shot but you would never know from their photos! They were so joyful all day long – even when their shoes were off and they were walking through the mud. Elizabeth Bailey Weddings, Classic Catering, Kirkland Manor, Event Pro and all of the vendors involved in the day did such an incredible job pulling together the most beautiful wedding in spi ..read more

A few weeks ago, we met Emily & Arthur in Washington DC for their engagement photos. It could have been such a cold day but somehow we lucked out with a 60 degree, sunny day in January! Emily and Arthur’s story began back in high school at St. John’s College High School in Washington, DC. After dating for some time, Arthur moved out of state to finish high school and the two went their separate ways. Several years later, the two met up for drinks in Adams Morgan and it was immediately apparent that they were meant to be. Arthur proposed (on his birthday!) at a restaurant on the Georgetown ..read more

We love exploring new locations for engagement sessions so we were super excited when Amanda and Ben suggested Rock Creek Park for theirs. This was our first time at the park and we honestly didn’t know a place like this excited in the DC/Maryland/Virginia area. Amanda and Ben both love the mountains and being outdoors – so the trails and falls of Rock Creek were perfect! We had the most beautiful fall day for their session and we can’t wait for their wedding next fall at Blue Valley Winery! The post Rock Creek Park Engagement Photos | Amanda & Ben appeared first on Annapolis ..read more

Brittland Manor is one of our favorite venues in Maryland. Not only does it have beautiful waterfront views of the Chester River, the remote location and lodging options make weddings feel like a mini retreat with your closest friends and family. Joe and Cara went out of their way to welcome friends and family from all over the country to Chestertown for a beautiful weekend together on the Eastern Shore. A gorgeous flowy Christos gown from Garnish Boutique, stripped linen napkins, rustic farm tables, lawn games and root beer floats all came together to create the perfect mix of elegant yet rel ..read more

The Naval Academy is still one of our favorite wedding venues in Annapolis and we get so excited every time we have the opportunity to head back there!

Ever since we took their engagement photos in Baltimore this past spring, we’ve been SO excited about Julia and Adrian’s Eastern Shore wedding at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club! Julia and Adrian are such a sweet couple and it was such an honor to witness two families, and two different cultures coming together! From the bride: When they met, Julia was shadowing an Occupational Therapist at the University of Maryland Medical Center and Adrian was a Pharmacology Graduate Student at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. They were just 2.3 miles apart when they both swiped right! They had their fir ..read more

Emily and Kieran met, or rather didn’t meet (despite having so many mutual friends!), until right before Kieran left to study at Oxford. When he came back for Easter break, they planned to go on a few dates but were both surprised at how well things were going and ended up spending a lot of time together. Not long after, Kieran proposed in front of Dahlgren Chapel at Georgetown – where they had first met the summer before. We actually took some of their engagement photos at Georgetown in the spring. Emily and Kieran wanted a classic wedding and knew The Hay Adams was the perfect venue. With it ..read more

Even though we’re approaching our eighth season as wedding photographers in the Annapolis area, we still get excited every time we have the opportunity to shoot at the United States Naval Academy. It’s filled with classic architecture, beautiful gardens and the most perfect view of downtown Annapolis at sunset. Tyler is a senior at the Naval Academy and Allie grew up spending summers in Annapolis so when we planned their engagement session, it only made sense to incorporate both locations. After spending some time wandering the colorful back streets of downtown Annapolis, we headed over to Aca ..read more

We were so excited when Katie and Ramy told us they wanted to take their engagement photos in the adorable town of St. Michaels AND rent a sailboat from The Inn at Perry Cabin! This was our first time shooting on a moving sailboat and we still can’t get over how gorgeous the photos turned out! Katie and Ramy’s session took us to all of their favorite spots in St. Michaels. We started the session at a nearby park with an adorable covered bridge overlooking crabbing boats and then headed over to the Chesapeake Maritime Museum. Their wedding – which took place overlooking the waterfront at Kirkla ..read more
