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.

Susan & Senthil | Hot Air Balloon Engagement Photos | Westminster, MD

So there’s this trend, among photographers, to say every single wedding was the “best ever” or each engagement session that comes along is their “new favorite”. But Susan and Senthil took me along on a hot air balloon ride, and I think that justifies me saying: this was the freakin’ raddest engagement session ever. And it super doesn’t matter that they were already married. Cuz:

The weather gods were not with us the first couple times we tried to schedule this photo shoot, but we rallied post-wedding with some lovely spring weather. Susan worked everything out with Balloons Over America based in Westminster, Maryland. From what she told me and my experience with Mark and Melissa on the day of the shoot, they are an incredibly hard-working, generally awesome bunch of people.

Love Point at Kent Island | Eastern Shore wedding

I’m so pleased to share this beautiful wedding I second shot with Jessica Shepard late last year. The couple was so adorable and joyous and I loved their beachy decorations (and orange touches!). One quick note – before you fall in love with this venue (as I did), know that they have had some serious problems and are currently closed. Too bad – it was such a lovely place for these happy kids:

I don’t often go out to the Eastern Shore – not sure why, just don’t get that many folks asking about it (though I would love to do a beach wedding this year!). So it was really nice to be by the water. Here’s the view from the bride’s hotel suite:

Love Point at Kent Island really was a gorgeous venue. I had to stop the car on the drive in and take some photos.  Read more... (271 words, 30 images, estimated 1:05 mins reading time)
