This engagement session was part of my “very Annapolis” weekend.  It started off last Friday with this session and continued with a marathon boudoir in town Saturday and later another engagement session in downtown Annapolis!  Phew!

Liz and Will were so fun, free and seemingly comfortable in front of the camera. The came up with some silly ideas and were just being themselves.  I love it!

This was just funny

This past weekend, I photographed Alison + Mike’s Wedding at The Oaks in Easton! I seem to shoot at The Oaks at least once every year and I love what the waterfront venue has to offer for weddings. It was a fabulous purple and yellow wedding with touches of lace details throughout. A picturesque 72 degrees and sunny day, right on the water. It was a perfect wedding day on Maryland Eastern Shore for sure- so happy to have been apart of it!

The stunning ladies in their embroidered “getting ready” shirts

The guys in chuck taylors

slipping on the dress!

from now on, i think every bride should get dressed in private and then make a grand reveal to their bridesmaids. Reaction = priceless

Alison + Mike did a first look before their ceremony

a beautiful white peony bouquet

“futures so bright, gotta wear shades”

a very happy tear filled ceremony

a boat ride entrance into their cocktail hour!

a love extra reception lighting, a little thing makes a huge impact!

I photographed baby Stone’s last session in our Year in the Life of Baby Plan. He is finally One Year Old! It is so sad when I finish these sessions but I know for sure I will see this family again as I have been photographing them since their parents wedding! The kids are always adorable, the ideas are always amazing and the family is always full of love!

Holy heck this post is late! I shared it on Facebook but I guess I never got around to blogging it! Stone is now a year old and I’ve already finished his 1 year session which I will share shortly. This was Stone’s 6 month session!

Jessica and Joe are getting married in just a couple short months! We shot their engagement session at Woodlawn Manor in the fall… with horses! Okay, so we didnt get to actually be with the horses, but we did get to give them a quick little pat on the snout!
