Counting down the hours until we return to the Gibson Island Club tomorrow for a beautiful waterfront celebration alongside Rachel Kelly Events. Truly one of our favorite settings for an elegant wedding weekend on the water.

It doesn’t get much better than Georgetown in the springtime 🌸
I can’t wait to see Meghan & Brian married in August!

Cherry blossom season is fleeting, and I’m grateful to have documented this brief moment of transition.
It had been several years since I last photographed the V family, and seeing them again with two new additions felt especially meaningful. We timed their session perfectly at peak bloom at Fort McHenry, arriving just as the gates opened. For a brief window, the park was still and almost entirely our own.
When our session ended, I lingered a little longer beneath the blossoms, taking in the beauty of a season that never stays nearly long enough 🌸

The Dubords ✨ A wedding day in Annapolis filled with elegance and joy.
From their ceremony at the United States Naval Academy Chapel to an unforgettable celebration at the Governor Calvert House, every moment felt timeless.
Portraits through the Yard and a stop at the Maryland State House made the day feel quintessentially Annapolis, with the sweetest appearance by Togo making it all the more personal.
Congratulations Sami & Shane!!!!

Yesterday with The Mills ✨
Anne and Micah share a kind of love that feels destined, steady, and deeply intentional.
There was something so effortless about the way they moved through the day together. Completely in sync. The kind of connection you feel in the in-between moments just as much as the big ones.
A first look along the Baltimore waterfront. Their wedding at Mt. Washington Mill Dye House. And then the speeches. Anne’s sister and Micah’s brother spoke with so much heart that there wasn’t a dry eye in the room. The kind of words that stay with you long after the day is over.
It was a celebration that felt true to who they are. Sincere, grounded, and incredibly meaningful from beginning to end.
I can't wait to share more from this special day. Congratulations A&M!!!

There is something really special about returning to a family and getting to tell the next chapter of their story.
This Saturday marks my very first wedding of 2026, and I have the absolute honor of photographing Anne’s day alongside Micah. It feels like such a full circle moment.
A few years ago, I photographed her sister Kathleen’s wedding to Patrick at Belmont Manor in May of 2022. It was one of those days that stays with you and one I’ll always remember.
Before their big day, we met for Kathleen and Pat’s engagement session at the top of Sugarloaf Mountain and it was nothing short of epic. The kind of view that makes you pause for a second. Make sure you swipe to the last slide to see it for yourself.
Since then, I’ve had the chance to see Kathleen and Pat again during spring mini sessions last year, now with their two beautiful little ones. Watching their story grow has been such a gift.
And now, getting to step back in and photograph Anne and Micah’s wedding at The Mill Dye House feels incredibly special!
I cannot wait to see familiar faces, reconnect, and document another chapter for this family.
2026, let’s begin ✨
The start of Plebe Summer was the start of something special for David and Blake. They met at the United States Naval Academy, spent four years as friends, and reconnected after graduation. Their wedding at the Naval Academy Chapel took them back to the place they met and brought all their loved ones together to celebrate.
Their engagement and favorite wedding moments are all highlighted in their Real Weddings feature in the Winter/Spring ‘26 issue.

Goose the chocolate lab stole the show during Dominique and Bubba’s engagement session. Rumor has it chocolate labs are wild, and Goose proudly confirmed it.
Dominique and Bubba are tying the knot in October 2026 on their family’s breathtaking waterfront property. The sunset, the calm water, and the Eastern Shore breeze created a setting that truly stopped me in my tracks. Their easygoing, fun energy made photographing them an absolute joy, and I know their wedding day will reflect that same spirit.
So excited to work alongside Leslie with @weddingsavvyweddings again!

An afternoon at Rawlings Conservatory turned into something unforgettable. Millie and Brandon stepped into the gardens as two people in love and walked out engaged. The glow, the emotion, the way they looked at each other… it all felt like a chapter of their story unfolding right in front of me.
