I met Laura at my 7/7/7 wedding last year of Michael and Sarah. I was thrilled when she called me about her upcoming wedding at the State House in St. Mary’s Maryland.
Laura and her girls got ready at her friend, Heather’s house, which is a beautiful place back in the woods and just down the road from St. Mary’s. After everyone had hair and makeup done, we all headed to the State House where Laura and David saw each other for the first time on their wedding day. Laura and David were beside themselves about all the year’s planning that had finally come to fruition. After they had a few minutes to themselves we took family portraits, then relaxed before the ceremony. It was a beautiful early fall (OK, it was still a couple days until Fall, but it felt like Fall) day and perfect weather for an outdoor wedding and reception.
They had a beautiful ceremony and reception, and even had bubbles during their last dance. Check out some of the images in the slideshow below.
I wanted to share this awesome video by Monday Isa of Quince Videothat he shot of my Trash the Dress session in Patapsco State Park with Jenni. Monday and I are going to be working on a version of this video that includes some of the stills from the shoot too, but I wanted to get this out there. He did an amazing job, I was really blown away when he sent this to me and now have an idea of what it’s like when my clients see their images for the first time, because I had no idea of a lot of the shots he got until I saw the finished video.
Anyway, I could ramble on about this for a long time … just check it out! (oh! This is my first YouTube video too!)
A couple weeks ago I had an awesome Trash the Dress session with Jenni from Forever Yesterdayin Patapsco State Park just outside of Baltimore.
Jenni contacted me near the beginning of Summer and we started talking about doing a TTD session together. She was married five years ago in Germany and had photographed a few TTDs of her own when she decided to get back in her dress and have her own shoot. I am always flattered when a fellow photographer contacts me and wants to hire me for a photoshoot. It’s honestly got to be about the highest compliment a photographer can bestow on a colleague so I was a bit nervous and hoping to get some good images for her. Luckily for me she’s not only a great photographer but a totally awesome model and we had a blast working together. I think she did start getting frustrated with me though when I kept telling her to ‘rotate, rotate, rotate’ in the midst of the Patapsco river with her big wedding gown on getting pushed by the current - she didn’t know it was going to be a workout!
