There’s something I always enjoy about watching friends of mine on their wedding day. It’s always so great to witness all the behind-the-scenes events of their wedding day and capture it all for them. I was especially honored to capture Tyler and Sandra’s special day at the Inn at Leola Village this past June. It was an exhausting wedding for me as it was smack in the middle of our two week recording project in Nashville. I flew home just for the weekend to play a gig on Saturday and shoot Tyler and Sandra’s wedding on Sunday. It was an honor to be a part of their day as they committed the rest of their lives to one another in pursuit of Jesus. I am so excited for what lays ahead for these two incredibly talented and loving people. If you want to check out their awesome snowy engagement session, click here. Here are a couple of my favorites from their wedding day.

It’s so awesome to finally get this wedding up on the blog. Brandon + Danielle’s wedding day was so much fun to be a part of brecause Brandon and I went through both Middle School and High School together. Their wedding day was a bit of a HS reunion for me seeing a lot of familiar faces from the past. Danielle did a fantastic job planning an elegant and classy wedding day in Gettysburg. Their wedding day preparations and reception were held at the Majestic Theater with their ceremony and bridal photos on the Gettysburg College campus. It was a unique setting to shoot in at the majestic with the bridal prep happening in the theater’s dressing room and the dance floor held in the lobby and dinner upstairs. Everything flowed so well together, though and it made for an unforgettable experience for me. I hope you enjoy their wedding day as much as I did! Here are some of my favorites and if you want to check out their engagement session, too, click here.

I confess that I really love landscape photography but have NO time to do it due to a rigorous portrait photography schedule. My wife is from NH and so we visit the area around Portsmouth quite often throughout the year but I’ve never had any time to take any decent photos of the seacoast area. There’s plenty more spots I wanted to get to but never had time on our vacation. Here’s a couple from a few brief moments I could grab while we were out doing other things. Enjoy!  

This post is up a little late but I have all of that to blame on our trip to Nashville and our new album. (You can read all about that on our Kickstarter here.) I had a loooong month of May weddings, 7 total, and Matt and Lindsay fell right in the middle.  What I really enjoyed about their wedding, though, was it’s elegant simplicity. I had 2 weddings in May that fit this category so well – not only did these 2 brides portray a classic and timeless style and elegance but their attitudes about their wedding day set the tone and mood for their wedding day. I enjoyed the way Matt and Lindsay interacted with one another and their families – with such kindness and sincerity – they are salt of the earth kind of people and I honestly couldn’t be more thrilled to capture their wedding day for them.  Their wedding was at one of my favorite Maryland venues – Swan Harbor Farm in Havre de Grace. I had the one and only Katie (Harnish) Williamson along second shooting this wedding with me  –  love having Katie along!

Here are some of our favorites from the day!

Truly this e-session for Jake + Erika was one of my favorites to shoot and process. Not only was it a phenomenal time getting to know these two ahead of their wedding this coming fall. We spent a couple hours at Jake’s family’s land in Street, MD on a beautiful Spring Friday evening in May. Couldn’t have asked for a better evening. I hope you enjoy some of my favorite moments from the shoot!

Such an incredible day in Baltimore with an incredible couple! First truly perfect weather day I’ve had to shoot on this year – so glad to have spent it with these two. This was only my third time shooting in Baltimore and I was happy to avoid the inner harbor area this time. It can always be tough shooting on weekends in populated cities on nice days – there’s people everywhere. We were able to be creative with it all, though, and shoot in ways that minimized the issue. Loved how this couple interacted so naturally and really just enjoyed spending time together – I can’t wait for their wedding this September!
