Elegant Living Magazine

I was so excited to be a part of  the spring edition of the Frederick News Post's Elegant Living magazine which included a special wedding section. Many of the weddings of my amazing couples were displayed with articles on cakes, dresses and flowers and the cover, which is very exciting! The couples were excited too.

 Thank you to the editors of Elegant Living for this great opportunity. 

Ryan and Jess's wedding at The Purple Iris was featured on the cover and the inside opening of the section.

 Ceresville Mansion, Boulder Ridge Lodge, Morningside Inn and Stone Manor were among the venues at which some of the dress, flower and cake photos were taken.

The wedding of Stephanie and Chris, Morningside Inn

I was so pleased to be able to shoot the wedding of Stephanie and Chris at Morningside Inn in Mt. Pleasant. I was married there 13 years ago and I hadn't been back since. Wow, the changes they have made. But one thing that hadn't changed was the beautiful landscape. I was so excited to photograph the wedding that I was up at the crack of dawn and photographed the sunrise over the trees behind the Inn. A heavy fog was brewing on the lake and it made for some great atmosphere. Made me wish we had weddings at 7:30 in the morning.... almost.

Chris and Stephanie arrived shortly thereafter. Stephanie burst out of her suv smiling widely and I don't think she stopped smiling the whole day! She and Chris were fantastic subjects for the formal poses and forgot all about me for the rest of the time... just like I like it! The best photos are when everyone is acting naturally. I was able to get some quiet intimate moments happening between them in the midst of the celebrations and some exuberant moments too!

Thanks for all the fun! My assistant Katie and I had a great time!
