Warm and Sunny Engagement Session by Tira Paige Photography

07.13.16 by Teri Pozniak

G+Julia’s warm and sunny engagement session was captured beautifully by Tira Paige Photography! She shares more about the session. “These two, my heart!! They met each other while studying at Towson University, but really got to know each other while on a retreat for social justice in the woods. They took a walk together under the stars the first night and they haven’t been apart since! These two wanted to incorporate their love of the outdoors and G’s love of boats into their engagement session. Julia just so happened to stumble upon Patterson Park one day while out and about and was refreshed by the amount green space hidden within the city. We started their session at the Pagoda and made our way through the rest of the park. After the park, we headed down to Fells Point. The air was crisp but these two full of love and warm embraces didn’t seem to notice. It was the perfect evening for a walk in the park and along the water. That golden light from sunset definitely did not disappoint!! These two are the perfect couple–full of laughs, adventure and wonderfully organic love for each other. And that, is a beautiful thing.”

Waterfront Kitchen Wedding by Anny. Photography

07.12.16 by Katie Welsh

This Waterfront Kitchen Wedding by Anny. Photography wedding may be small, but it’s FULL of romantic details! Our new obsession begins at the couple’s matching rose gold wedding bands to match the bride’s unique and stunning blush and ivory wedding gown! Swoon! The couple’s photographer, Ann, tells us, “Stacy and Dave’s intimate wedding at Baltimore’s Waterfront Kitchen was nothing short of perfect. The sun was shining and there was a gentle breeze throughout our time outdoors. Their family and closest friends gathered from near and far to celebrate their nuptials. This beautiful couple met at work while working for the University of Maryland in different roles and their love story which started in Maryland will be taking them to Texas for work in a few short weeks! Planning a move while planning a wedding can’t be an easy feat yet the wedding was a great celebration with so many thoughtful and fun details! The reception included a pie bar to die for, Stacy surprised Dave with an engraving on his wedding band with the last words of their wedding vows, not to mention Stacy’s gorgeous blush and ivory wedding gown, and to celebrate their Maryland beginnings, their sendoff included a group photo of their guests wearing either red or gold sunglasses with the bride and groom donning ones with the Maryland flag. Their rose gold wedding bands were such a beautiful sentiment to this couple’s commitment to one another.”

Rawlings Conservatory Wedding by Bradley Images

07.11.16 by Teri Pozniak

This Rawlings Conservatory wedding from Bradley Images is absolutely positively exquisite! The portraits in the Howard Peters Rawlings Conservatory and Botanic Gardens of Baltimore have just the best light, and the lush foliage accents this beautiful couple well. The Bride, Jess, shared some of her favorite memories of the wedding day. “We had an incredible traditional Vietnamese wedding ceremony in the morning, and I really loved our wedding ceremony. Our officiant was Tuan Ngo, my cousin, and when he choked up when stating our vows, I could barely repeat them myself. Most of all though, planning the whole wedding with Sean was lovely. Once in a lifetime.” The groom, Sean, also had the same favorite memory. “I loved when Tuan was speaking, and looking at Jess’s expressions the whole time.”

Waterfront Annapolis Engagement Session by B.O.B Photography

07.07.16 by Katie Welsh

We dare you not to fall in love with this ADORABLE couple and English Bulldog (Yes, his name is HAM!) in today’s Waterfront Annapolis Engagement Session by B.O.B Photography. Jillian of B.O.B tells us,”Brittany and I met via email, we decided prior to meeting in person that we all wanted to work together. Our first physical meeting was at their engagement session. I just loved the laid back nature of the pair and couldn’t wait to get together and shoot their engagement session.We met at Brittany’s Dads house in Annapolis and it was instantly like I had known the pair for years. It was on of the moments like in Step Brothers where you stop what you’re doing and look at each other and say in unison “Did we just become best friends?!” They immediately stole my heart when they pulled up with this ADORABLE little chunk bulldog named Ham! This shoot was truly effortless. We laughed, talked about our mutual love of dogs and spent so much time being silly.”
