Love your work. Amazing photos

Terrence and Domonique are Married! | Baltimore, MD

Tuesday, February 7, 2012 No comments

Boy meets Girl. Boy marries Girl. Boy and Girl break out into a synchronized first dance so smooth they put Billy Dee Williams to shame. Not to be outdone, their guests were getting their own party grooves on.

Terrence and Domonique are so much fun together as a couple. He makes her laugh and she simply adores him. I also love that they’re so open-minded. We shot their engagement pictures at a local mall and that was a blast too.

JoAnn and John Celebrate their Anniversary | Mt. Vernon, Baltimore

Tuesday, January 31, 2012 1 comment

When JoAnn contacted me about having photos taken for her anniversary, she mentioned bringing her dog. I’m more of a cat person, so all I could picture was the couple showing up with their ferocious animal and having to mask my fear as it bared it’s teeth to show me it was in charge. Well, when they showed up with the cutest, softest powder puff of a puppy, I knew we were in for a fun time.

This was one of those perfect shoots that almost didn’t happen. We had to reschedule our shoot a bajillion times due to the weather. In fact, it rained the day of our shoot, and I even called to see if they wanted to throw in the towel, but they were game. (I seem to get great, easygoing clients like that!) I actually prefer to shoot when it’s overcast, so it ended up being fantastic.

the little details you capture in your photographs are amazing

Jennifer & Karif’s Hurricane Wedding Spectacular

Wednesday, January 25, 2012 No comments

Remember that big hurricane this past summer? The one that knocked down trees and knocked out power to some for almost two weeks? Well Jennifer and Karif decided to get married in it! Well not exactly. They planned an elaborate ceremony and reception in her sister’s fabulous backyard. The invitations were sent, family had flown in from all over – so they decided that the wedding must go ON!

Thankfully, the fabulous backyard was also equipped with a covered poolhouse, so they took the wedding and reception inside. While the wind whipped around like crazy outside, they said “I Do” while remaining blissfully dry…until they went outside to watch their ceremonial fireworks. The guests were game to watch the fireworks in the rain and they went off without a hitch.

The next day I went back to the scene of the storm and took their bridal photos. Of course it was bright and sunny-absolutely no indication that a huge storm had just passed. It was a great experience and I’m so happy to have been a part of it.

Bryan and Tyra’s Engagement

Monday, January 23, 2012 1 comment

I have to say that Bryan and Tyra were one of my favorite couples EVER! I love it when a couple gets involved in a shoot. This time the groom was not camera-shy in the least and even suggested our shooting locations. (which I loved!) What I also loved-the bold colors and the shoes! Tyra’s blue shoes are oh so HOT!

During the shoot, it began to rain…HARD! We made a group decision to sit in our cars

to wait it out, giving the daring couple enough time to change clothes. Don’t ask me how the two of them managed inside a car, but being the troopers that they were, it worked out.

[...] not many more accolades I can give to this couple that I haven’t given already in their engagement photo post. Tyra is so sweet and gentle. I loved working with her and her bridesmaids. I’ve never seen [...]
