Meghan & Steve | Green Spring Valley Hunt Club wedding

Meghan and Steve did it big – big tent, big band, big hearts. It was such a pleasure to document their wedding filled with so much joy and laughter. A wedding photographer learns a lot about her clients by the speeches given at the wedding and I learned that Meghan and Steve have been all over this planet. I’m glad they chose to rock out their wedding Baltimore-style, rolling in friends and family from everywhere. It was a rockin’ party.

We started the day at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront.

Bobbie & Tim | Photobooth!

Bobbie and Tim were the first couple to opt for my newly-introduced photobooth and there’s no denying it was an enormous hit at their wedding. They and their guests took 955 images, all told. Here are a few of my favorites:

And, what fun is providing a photobooth if you can’t get on it with one of your favorite planners ever?

And for all my wedding clients! If you want photobooth pictures of your very own, just drop me a line and we’ll hook it up. I provide everything, including the backdrop (the one you see here) and props, but you’re more than welcome to supply your own or do a DIY backdrop (and I have some ideas!) I’m still rocking the introductory pricing of $400, including upload to Facebook within a week of the wedding, for a limited time etc. etc.

Liz & Ashwin | National Museum for Women in the Arts wedding | Washington, DC

Liz and Ashwin, with the help of their brilliant planners A. Dominick Events, threw the prettiest, most atmospheric wedding I have had the opportunity to document. They and their families infused the day with warmth and laughter, while honoring both Hindu and Jewish traditions. The National Museum for Women in the Arts provided a truly spectacular setting for quite a day.

They got started at their impressive suite at the Sofitel.

I love how putting on a wedding sari and accessories is a big family affair.

They we scooted to the National Museum for Women in the Arts for family pictures and some quick bride and groom photos.

With some awesome art. NMWA keeps their weird art in one tiny room, apparently, but fortunately for me, it was also the only spot with a window. Also fortunately for me, Liz and Ashwin were keen to have their photos taken in front of this sweet/weird thing.  Read more... (370 words, 61 images, estimated 1:29 mins reading time)
