Mr. & Mrs. Freeman. | Maryland Wedding Photographer.

I have never witnessed a first look quite like this one…where the groom was left literally speechless, in awe of his gorgeous bride. Jake was overwhelmed with admiration for his sweet Marisa and I was so honored to be there and capture it. I adored this beautiful, intimate celebration full of joy and overflowing with love. Mr. & Mrs. Freeman, congratulations, your love story is one for the ages! xo

Emily & Thomas | A Classic New York City Engagement Session.

Thomas & Emily. The most sophisticated, classic, lovely couple. With a sense of style to rival the best, and as sweet as they are lovely, I feel honored to have spent this time with them.

We celebrated their engagement in New York City, nestled in the elegance of Fort Tryon Park, and the session was an amazing reflection of their love story. I love these two and cannot wait to celebrate with them on their wedding day next October! xo!Maryland Photographer_1223 Maryland Photographer_1225Blog Faves-4931-2 Maryland Photographer_1234 Maryland Photographer_1231 Maryland Photographer_1226 Maryland Photographer_1232Blog Faves-009-2 Blog Faves-5035-2 Maryland Photographer_1228 Maryland Photographer_1227Blog Faves-5031 Maryland Photographer_1235 Maryland Photographer_1236 Maryland Photographer_1233 Maryland Photographer_1240 Maryland Photographer_1237 Maryland Photographer_1243 Maryland Photographer_1242Maryland Photographer_1244 Maryland Photographer_1239 Maryland Photographer_1238

Thryve Magazine Spread, Featuring Emily Moore.

A few months ago, I had the pleasure of photographing the extraordinary Emily for her upcoming feature in “Fearless” edition of Thryve Magazine. Her essay is poignant, honest, and her spiritual journey is one for the ages. I feel so honored to have spent time with this lovely woman, and to see her gorgeous images in print!

The premise of the issue, as stated by the Thryve team says it best:

“Fear runs deep and visits every one of us. It is often the root of the things we resist, the steps untaken, and the taunting lies we allow to command our souls. This is why this issue is so important. Our prayer is that you would grab a hold of the power that you possess in Christ. God alone is unmatched by the forces that rage against you. We believe that the truth of God’s Word will break every chain and propel you into the life you have been created to live!

You’ll read stories spanning from becoming ourselves and actively cooperating with God’s intention for our lives to the strength and power of God’s never-ending love, to the way God uses community to inspire courage, to navigating the unknown, and learning what it means to place our faith in who God is, not in our what-ifs. We truly believe that you need these beautiful stories of everyday grace.”
