Montine & Joey - Barns at Wolf Trap Wedding Photography

My favorite thing about this wedding (aside from Montine and Joey themselves, of course) was the awesome meaning that everything had. The whole wedding was this beautiful blend of old tradition and new memories. For example, Montine's great grandfather's violin was played during the processional and an excerpt from one of his sermons was read at the end of the ceremony. With the help of my awesome second photographer Carly Fuller, we photographed his wife's ring along with Montine and Joey's. Finally, the wings that were pinned on the bottom of the wedding dress and the inside of the groom's suit were to honor Montine's maternal grandfather who died in the Air Force at a young age. As if all that wasn't enough, Montine was so sweet and gave her mother, father, and new mother-in-law each a special gift to remember the day. Consequently, I saw more tears at this wedding than probably any other! Might have been choking back a few myself... haha.

Jenny & Mike - Clipper Mill Engagement Photography

When Jenny and Mike told me they aren't really huge Baltimore fans and wanted something a little different for their engagement photos, I thought about Station North and Clipper Mill. As it turned out, an Orioles game was flooding the downtown area with people so we decided to skip Station North and head straight to Clipper Mill instead. A good decision on our part! I'd never been there before, but inspired by my friend Dani's recent shoot, I'd been wanting to check it out. Clipper Mill is only like a street or two, but there's all these cool old buildings that are falling apart or that have been re-purposed, not to mention tons of awesome textures and colors. Needless to say, I'll be back for sure. :)

Now let me brag about Jenny and Mike for a bit... these guys are awesome! They were totally relaxed and natural for their photos, and we had a great time exploring the area. Their personalities are super chill and laid-back, and I can't wait to see what their wedding brings!
