Jessica and Eamon tie the knot in Westminster Hall, Baltimore

Jessica and Eamon tied the knot today at the historic Westminster Hall in Baltimore, MD. What a thoughtful couple! They arranged for a guide to make the historic catacombs accessible, and even prepared a guided tour. Thank you for the opportunity to capture your special day! Congratulations on the start of your new lives together!

Two Dreams

Can you believe these adorable little ballerinas? I love the tu-tus and minxy smiles that go with them. What a fun shoot with a family that's up for anything! I am currently working on a LifeBrush painting for one of the fantasy images. More on that soon.

1 is a wonderful number

Dear little Vallery turned 1-year-old this week! I was invited to capture this thought-filled toddler to commemorate and record her in this moment. Mom and big brother Daniel joined Vallery for her feature shoot to increase the fun and comfort. Daniel spontaneously started kissing his sister on the head during one of our sets. Little boys are priceless! I especially like the profile with the thumb. Sure we captured those smiles, too, but the thumb shot's seriousness really seems to highlight who Vallery is at this beautiful age. Happy Birthday, sweet girl!

Spirited Love

In photographing weddings, engagement sittings, and family portraits for so long, we have seen so many different relationships. We strive to capture the honest truth with our photography and film production. With all this close observation and intention, we have seen many types of love. Some couples have a quiet, yet deep love. Some couples have a new, fiery hot love.

This particular couple was so spirited and playful, it's clear their common sense of humor is one of the key features of their great relationship. They were up for anything from jumping, leaping, dipping, dancing, kissing, and splashing. (The splashing was their idea since we don't usually splash near our equipment... hahah.)

We can't wait for their wedding this August! Here are some of our favorite photographs from the sunset photo shoot.

Save the Date

During a windy afternoon over Memorial Day weekend in St. Michaels, Brian's brother and his fiance wanted a few casual shots of their interactions for a "Save the Date" magnet they were sending out this month. This is my favorite shot from that imprompu afternoon.

Family Time

We were lucky to spend the weekend on our boat in St. Michael's with family and friends. These are our favorite photographs that tell the story.

A Waterside Wedding (even a swan on the guest list)

Kim and Dan got married in Oxford, Maryland - a quaint waterside town on the Eastern Shore, that prides itself on its small town feel. The hospitable Banks offered their beautiful waterfront home as the venue for this intimate wedding. We loved the bursts of red accents amid all the blues, greens, and tans of this outdoor setting. Even a glowing, white swan couldn't resist making a glorious appearance during the wedding ceremony.

Congratulations, Kim and Dan! We can't wait to incorporate these images into your wedding video! What an dimension they will add to the finished product! Your shots at the Capitol capture your love of your country with exquisite and meaningful architectural backgrounds, while the photographs at your wedding capture the two of you, together, and with a love as natural as the scenery around you.
