The thing that I loved about photographing Jeff and Christine's wedding was the amazing settings we were able to photograph them in and their fun spirit as they posed in those settings.
There was a lot of talent displayed in singing and dancing at the ceremony and beyond. And I don't think I have seen a couple or their guests enjoy a reception more. Christine was truly the star of the show as she belted out "Sweet Caroline" to the music of the band and the cheering of her new husband and guests!
Thank you Christine and Jeff for inviting me to capture this truly joyous day!
I just had my first of two special holiday photo sessions this past weekend at South Mountain Plantation Christmas tree farm in Boonsboro. We had fantastic weather and the farm's location couldn't be more beautiful! All the families were great to work with and we created some unique images for their holiday gifts and cards. Thank you to all the families for coming!
Here is the link for the Plantation when you're looking to purchase your Christmas tree, wreath, roping or holiday gift from their shop. The Cline family are very welcoming and fun!

I still have one more session to be held at ThorpeWood near Thurmont on December 5th and have time slots available . Another beautiful spot, but this time inside, in front of the fireplace, next to a 17-foot Christmas tree. Santa is even showing up for a few hours in the morning! Looking forward to it. I've been nice! :)

A beautiful fall day, three energetic and much-loved Labs with their owner Loretta made for a fun photo session! I enjoyed capturing them romping and playing and just being themselves as well as a few "posed" photos which took some patience and a lot of treats! Thanks to Loretta and her "children" for a great afternoon.
A beautiful day and venue for the wedding of Ken and Karen at Hauser Estates Winery. Their ceremony was just before sunset and you couldn't have asked for more beautiful settings and people! We took advantage of the fading light to create some images that really sparkled with the warm sunset. We had so much fun at their engagement session, I knew that we would be able to make some unique and memorable images at their wedding, even as we got creative in the semi-darkness. Their ceremony, held just at sunset was on the top of the hill overlooking the crimson colored valley...breathtaking! And the two of them so enjoyed their wedding reception and their guests, dancing and laughing the night away. Thank you Karen and Kevin for making me a part of your amazing day.
Now that we're having a chill in the air, it's kinda nice to look back on an e-session on the creek with Katherine and Russell. I took them to one of the favorite spots for my family to hang out on a hot summer day and we had fun posing and playing by the water! Thanks to you both!
Ryan and Jess are a couple I will always remember. We met and decided to work together nearly two years before their wedding. They were the first and only couple to meet me at 8 in the morning for their engagement session photos, dogs in tow and smiles on their faces. And they truly honored me with playing their engagement video slideshow on a large screen and dancing to it's music for their first dance as husband and wife at their wedding. I was so, so amazed and touched by this! Still get a little tear in my eye!
Their wedding at the Purple Iris in Martinsburg, West Virginia was the perfect day. The weather was spectacular and the venue was gorgeous. Ryan and Jess couldn't have looked more amazing. We captured their photos as a couple before the ceremony during a "reveal" which gave us time to take advantage of the real character of the grounds and the house. And the wedding ceremony was touching and hilarious at different times. Hilarious when Ryan and the entire bridal party performed an elaborate dance number following the ceremony.
I love this moment before the ceremony with just the two of them! How relaxed and happy they are in each others arms.
Happy is my favorite emotion to photograph and we had a lot of that at this wedding. :)
My good friend and great photographer Joe Crocetta, who worked with me all day, captured this radical robot move by Ryan at the beginning of his dance routine down the aisle. Too much fun!Thanks Joe for all your great images and ideas.
I really loved the lanterns and elaborately elegant archway gracing the wedding area but it was too sunny to capture the mood of it all immediately following the ceremony. So Joe, Colleen, my assistant and the happily married if a bit exhausted couple agreed to walk back there in the pitch dark to create this unique image.
End of the night and a fabulous day. Congratulations Ryan and Jess and thanks! If you want to see more, view the slideshow below.
