Mr. & Mrs. Diederich | Josephine Butler Parks Center Wedding Photographer.
Jill & Joe. These two – full of humility, grace, and joy. They have truly found their best friend and lifelong partner in one another, and their day was a stunning start to that brilliant future. Jill, the elegant, sweet beauty (with many talents – those florals are all her!) is always quick with that stunningly warm smile. Joe, her easy-going and dashing husband, so caring and thoughtful and always quick to laugh. Together, they are perfection. A pair truly meant to spend their lives together.
It was an absolute joy and honor to spend this day with you both! Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Diederich! xo

Rejuvenate: The Little Workshop.
The Little Workshop with Michael and Carina was one of the best things I have done for my business (and for myself! :)) thus far. M&C are true film artists, and it was such an honor to spend the day with them, learning, shooting, and absorbing all things Fine Art! It has encouraged me to push forward in this dream of using more and more film in my workflow, and for that I am so grateful. Here is a collection of images from the styled shoot portion of the day, dreamed up by Michael and Carina, and curated by the lovely ladies at Wit Weddings. A talented team of vendors made it all possible, so be sure to check out their information below!
For now, enjoy some of my favorite images to date! xo

Mr. & Mrs. Skinner | A Classically Elegant Maryland Wedding.
Jon and Anna. A match made in heaven, and one of my all-time favorite couples. Surrounded by the sweetest of family and friends, their wedding was one I will not soon forget. Anna’s impeccable taste resulted in a day full of classic elegance, and their adoration for each other led to one sweet moment after another.
Mr. & Mrs, Skinner, I loved celebrating your love! Thank you for the honor of being a part of this stunning day! xo
Mr. & Mrs. Romaneo | American Visionary Arts Museum Wedding.
Casey. I have known this gorgeous woman since we were wee tots, and I have adored her just as long. The morning of her wedding, she was calm, collected and sweetly anticipating seeing her Jeremy in just a short time. Surrounded by the most special ladies in her life (and a few more childhood friends!), she was abuzz with anticipation for the amazing day ahead.
Jeremy. Though I haven’t had the pleasure of knowing him quite as I have his lovely wife, he has won me over, time and time again. His sweet, unabashed adoration for my lovely Casey speaks for itself. His gentle touch, his admiring gaze, his never-ending smile when she enters the room. His delight in her becoming his wife. Such devotion is pure and true and an honor to witness.
July 18th was warm, wonderful, and sweet. Casey and Jeremy, thank you so much for the privilege of capturing you and your families’ inspiring joy. This wedding day was one I will never forget, and treasure. I adore you both, and love you even more together! Much love!

Kristin & Saujan | A Romantic Maryland Countryside Engagement Session.
Kristin and Saujan. Two engineers. The sweetest love story. One stunning couple.
I adored every moment of this session and could not be more excited to capture their wedding celebration this October!

Mr. & Mrs. Arisman | A Sweet and Intimate Maryland Orchard Wedding.
Deanna and Jacob.
Kind, generous, thoughtful, and Godly.
Genuine, hard-working, intentional, and joyful.
A few words that only begin to summarize these two, but hopefully convey my feelings, and those of their family and friends. While they are all of the things mentioned above, I can summarize Deanna and Jacob’s relationship with one word – service. Constantly looking to care for others and give of themselves, I have learned much from these two. As a close, mutual friend said “I would lay down my life for this couple”, I know that they would do the same for friends and strangers alike. (In fact, Jacob will be doing just that as he bravely serves this country in the Middle East next year.) I’m certain that innate goodness will carry into their marriage, making it one of the strongest and most wonderful I have had the honor of witnessing.
Mr. & Mrs. Arisman, your day was full of meaningful details, handmade touches, and the most special of guests. From start to finish, it was a beautiful pleasure and I feel so honored to have been a part of it. Much love!

Paxton, on Film.
Happy Tuesday, Friends! The summer has hit in full force, and I am loving every sticky hot day. Summer, please stay forever. :)
As my wedding season progresses, I am striving to incorporating more and more film into my work flow. The colors, the softness…swoon! Today, I’m revisiting Paxton and Matthew’s stunning Clynmalira Estate Wedding, which was featured here a few weeks ago. Dripping with elegance, it was what wedding day dreams are made of. Of course, I couldn’t pass up shooting a roll of this gorgeous bride and stunningly historic estate. Enjoy! xo

Mr. & Mrs. Eller | An Elegant and Whimsical Erie, Pennsylvania Wedding.
Not only is their love story something out of a fairy tale (high school sweethearts!), but Angela and Patrick’s wedding was nothing short of the same. From the oodles of whimsical details, to the loving family and friends surrounding them, this day was one of the most meaningful and lovely I have had the pleasure of documenting. Though rain was predicted for the day, Angela approached her wedding with a never-wavering sense of excitement and joy – nothing unusual to those who know her well. :) The rain did fall, but, (timed perfectly!) the clouds also parted. It takes rain to appreciate meaningful moments of sun, and I think Angela put it perfect with, “Jesus and our angels must have been smiling down on us”. Cue the tears.
From each special touch (that cake!! :)), to the reception (complete with multiple choreographed dances!), I never stopped smiling for my dear friends. It may seem cliché, but these two were made for each other. Mr. & Mrs. Eller, I have never cried tears of joy as much as I did on June 27th. Your day was as perfect and special as you are, and I am so honored to have been a part of it.
Ang., so incredibly happy for you. You’ve found that Prince, my darling!! :)

Peonies on Film.
Last year, I received two Peony plants for Mother’s Day. They are one of my favorite flowers, which made for a wonderful gift. Perfectly pink, fluffy, and smelling oh, so lovely!
When we planted them, I got 2 blooms, one from each. This year, a total of 5. I am sure they will continue to grow and bless me – just like my littles.
As always, film does an impeccable job preserving them.
