Federal Hill Portraits in Baltimore : Kim and Mike

On this glorious Saturday morning, I bring you a post about another lovely couple : Kim and Mike.  Kim and Mike had a fun, adventurous, and whirlwind romance and they topped off that spirit of adventure and love by eloping to Las Vegas!  In the absence of traditional wedding coverage, Kim contacted me to capture some couple portraits of her and Mike. So, a couple weeks ago, we headed down to Baltimore’s Federal Hill and the Inner Harbor area for our shoot.  It was such a pleasure to work with Kim and Mike — who are a really sweet couple, clearly deeply in love and devoted to each other!  So here’s a few from their session that I particularly love:

The Belvedere Wedding in Baltimore, Maryland : Liz and Matt

I love, love the Belvedere. It is such a beautiful venue and really great for pictures.  It was such a pleasure to go down there a couple of weeks ago and shoot Liz and Matt’s super fun wedding down there! Liz and Matt are a fantastic couple with a great sense of humor and whose personalities really shone throughout their wedding.  Their very personalized wedding theme was all about a cute exchange(and nicknames) Liz and Matt have had gone on : owls and cats! (The story goes that several years ago, Liz had to give up having cats due to Matt’s allergy to them — so he got her a cat ornament at Christmas. And at the same time, Matt got her an owl ornament. There’s a lovely classic children’s story about “The Owl and the Pussycat” and from that Christmas on, Liz and Matt have exchanged numerous mementos in that theme!) I had a wonderful time shooting this wedding with this super fun group!  Many thanks, also, to Maria Clark who flew all the way down from Massachusetts to second shoot for me (and did a really awesome job!).

The benefit of the rain…

They tell me that rain is a good thing and I suppose I have to agree. It does, after all, bring beautiful green grass and blossoming plants.  For the allergy prone, it helps clear the air. For the people who love sleepy mornings listening to raindrops against their window, it brings calm.  And this past Saturday, when the rain came while I was taking the last shot of the night at a wedding, it brought sparkle…

Great pics, can’t wait for the wedding weekend!

Georgetown Engagements : Laura and Matt

Last week, on what was probably one of the most gorgeous days we’ve had this year, I headed down to Washington DC to meet  up with Laura and Matt in Georgetown.  So often, when people think Georgetown, they think M Street — the heavily commercialized and trafficked part of the town with lots of shops and college students.  But if you just go a few streets back, you discover an absolutely beautiful, idyllic historical place, with amazing houses, incredible architecture, and relatively quiet, calm streets.  That’s the part of Georgetown that I got to explore with Laura and Matt, who had done a lot of homework and planning of some really great locations for us to shoot in.  I had a fantastic time walking the streets of Georgetown and getting to know them better and then they totally blew me away by taking me to a lush, tranquil garden right in the heart of historic Georgetown: Dumbarton Gardens.  It was so amazing.  Talk about a wonderful way to spend an afternoon! I had a blast and I can’t wait to shoot Laura and Matt’s wedding in just a few weeks!!
