Alli & Brian ~ Baltimore MD Wedding Photographer

Meet Brian and Alli. I was excited to shoot their wedding since the first day I met them. They were so obviously in love with each other and it was obvious from every look they gave each other and every time they took turns telling different parts of their stories. And I loved the way that Alli looked at Brian the whole time he was telling the story of how he proposed. And trust me, that's a long story :) I knew immediately that I wanted to work with them and be able to capture that connection they share.
They were married at the Hyatt in Baltimore and it was a beautiful day full of family and friends. I love the view of the Inner Harbor.

Oh, did I mention yet that Alli is STUNNING?! She has such a classic beauty to her.
She was pretty nervous as she was getting ready withe the anticipation of seeing Brian and kept fidgeting her hands. I loved it.
Gorgeous!
Alli and Brian's mommas were sneaking peeks into the room because they wanted to watch when Brian got his first look at his new bride.
It was really important to Brian and Alli to devote all time following the ceremony to their family and friends so they opted to do all photos before hand. I loved it because it allowed them time to get to enjoy each others company prior to the ceremony. Alli knew she was going to cry and wanted to be able to have her moment. I love love love that I was able to linger in the corner to capture it. How adorable are they??!

Then we ran around the hotel getting some fun portraits.
I love glass elevators.

Alli literally beamed with happiness all day long. Here she is with her dad.
This one is my favorite bridal party shot. I loved having fun with the escalators. Choreographing the bridal party with the moving escalator made it a fun challenge.







I love they way they look at each other.


To honor Brian's father, in lieu of favors they made a donation to American Cancer Society and gave out Livestrong bracelets to all the guests. I thought it was a beautiful personal touch.
And I'll end their post with more fun in the glass elevator.
Congratulations Alli and Brian. Thank you for trusting me with your special day.

Danielle & Bobby are married!

Geez! I've been away from my blog for awhile. It's been such a crazy holiday season so my poor blog has been suffering. But not for long. There is a light at the end of the tunnel and I have TONS and TONS of shoots to post. Starting with the fabulous Danielle & Bobby. You might remember them from their engagement session here. Danielle and I have been friends since we were 10 years old and I was beyond thrilled to be able to document her big day.
One quick shot from the rehearsal dinner....




I spent many many evenings at Danielle's house while we were growing up. Many dinners, pool parties and lots of laughs with her amazing, high spirited family. I don't think I've ever seen her mother Nancy look so beautiful. Doesn't she just glow?









I was lucky enough to have my extremely talented friend Nicole by my side for this wedding. She got the next 2 images.









I love this image that Nicole got of Bobby holding his grandfather's hand during family portraits.
















the next 4 images all beautifully captured by Nicole.


















While I was doing bridal party portraits, Nicole had a chance to play around with my new lensbaby lens and I love what she got with it.








Danielle's parents, Nancy and Kenny, are such an amazing couple and I don't think I've ever seen a couple more in love after all these years together.


















We couldnt' pass up the coconut for the ring shot.












Congratulations to you both!
