Laurie and Diego

Laurie and Diego had such a wonderful wedding… There is not really any other way to say it.  The weather was simply amazing, the location was just as amazing and the couple was even more gorgeous than the weather and the location.  I photographed Laurie’s sister Katie’s wedding last May and found the Wilde family to be so close, fun and friendly that I felt like a life long friend just helping out with the day.  Of course I was thrilled when they called me to photograph the wedding for Laurie and Diego.  Knowing this family, it was going to be a great day.

Diego is from Spain, and all of his friends flew over for the wedding and spent some time on the east coast soaking up the American fun… keep in mind this was during Spain’s winning run in the World Cup and they super excited the day of the wedding when Spain won their semi final game

Mandy and Ben

Mandy and Ben were married at the always beautiful Columbia Baptist Church in Columbia MD.  You may remember Mandy who is the sister Kristen of Kristen and Ted who I photographed back in March.  Yep, I had the great pleasure to photograph both sisters within four months of each other!  We started the day at Lufti Salon then moved onto the Sheraton in Columbia for more photos and fun then off to the ceremony at South Columbia Baptist Church. Mandy and Ben’s reception was at the Ten Oaks Ballroom in Clarklsville and it was simply fantastic with great moments with the toasts and slideshow.

Here are some of my favorites from the day.

Tara and Joe tied the knot a couple of weeks ago at the gorgeous Perryville United Methodist Church in Perryville MD.   After the touching ceremony we headed up the street a bit to Havre De Grace to do some shots in some great light and great weather and had a ton of fun doing so. We then headed back down the road to Aberdeen to the Clarion Hotel for the reception that was a lot of fun as well.

Enjoy!

Kendra and Paul came to me from another great couple I photographed last year, Mary and Andrew.  Kendra and Paul  were married at the stunning Saint Johns United Church of Christ in Catonsville. This Church has great light most of the day and simply beautiful grounds to make awesome photos.  From there we headed over to Columbia for the reception which was at the Stonehouse Long Reach Village Center. It’s a very unique place for a reception and it offered a great atmosphere for the party.

I give you Kenda and Paul!

Kathryn and Mike are getting married in December at the University of Notre Dame , and they called me up to photograph their engagement session.  They chose a to have the photos taken at the Boordy Vinyards just north of Baltimore.  We had some issues with the wind, but luckily the big trees and buildings helped keep it at bay most of the time.  It was my second time there, but I have never seen the light so nice as it was last Saturday.  It was so warm and inviting and it certainly brought out the love between them.

I have the great pleasure of photographing Kristen and Mike’s wedding this August, and we got together last weekend in Baltimore to photograph their engagement session.  The light was great, but the wind was a little less cooperative.. Sure, the one day that week that the sun is out and shining bright we had to have 40 mph gusts! LOL.  But regardless of the winds, they rocked it and we got some great shots.

Enjoy!

Melissa and Mike were married in Sykesville on May 1st.  The wonderful ceremony was performed by Mike’s uncle, and the reception was held at the gorgeous Hunt Valley Golf Club.  The light that day was as good as it could get and Melissa and Mike were all for taking advantage of it while we could.

I am not sure if I have seen two people so in love.  It was a treat to read Melissa and Mikes facebook posts during their honey moon.  These two are insanely in love and it’s awesome!

Trish and Eric were married this past April at St. Matthews Church in Baltimore, and it was one of the most unique weddings I have photographed in a long time.  It all started fairly simply, but as soon as the processional started the fun really began.  The wedding party walked down the isle to the theme from Jurassic Park, which was played perfectly by the church’s organist and at the beginning of the reception they did an entire Star Wars intro with a custom scrolling title movie, to a “droid” inspired introduction.

You can probably tell from the photos that these two just love to have fun with everything they do… Awesome!

Christen and Ted were married a couple of weeks ago at the Columbia Baptist Church, and had their reception at the always beautiful Turf Valley Resort.  They had to reschedule the wedding to March because of the big blizzards we had here back in February, and I think they got the better deal by moving the date.  The weather was simply gorgeous, the couple amazing, and awesome family… mix all that together and you get some great shots. Enjoy!

I had the great oppurtunity to photograph the Smith family once again last week.  Last time we went to Downs park, but this time we decided to make it more”beachy” and decided to head to Sandy Point for the session, and I am soooo glad we did.  We had great light, great weather, and two fun kids to photograph… Oh and Cyndi and Greg were there too

enjoy!
