Emma & John | Dumbarton House wedding

What a couple and what a wedding!!

Its rare that Kristiaan and I are around the day that a couple meets, but in Emma and Johns case we witnessed their first meeting at Emma's sisters wedding back in 2013. So we were beyond thrilled when they contacted us to photograph their wedding. This was the 4th wedding in this group of friends we've photographed so it truly felt like family.

We knew what we were in for great moments, happy people, great connections and fun dancing. We got all of that and more, plus working with one of our favorite planners of all time, Kristen of Kelley Cannon Events as well as a dream team of other vendors.

Julie + Alex | National Aquarium Wedding

We've been excited about Julie & Alex's wedding for quite some time. Especially since they are Denver natives, and like us had to have their original wedding date pushed back almost a year.  Also, who wouldn't be excited about a Baltimore Aquarium wedding? To be fair, their ceremony was in a church but the festivities and portraits happened at the Aquarium - still amazing!

Their day was full of beautiful and fun moments despite the impending tropical storm Billy which fully soaked, Kristiaan, myself and the wedding planners as we attempted to eat dinner. Still we persevered, had a great time interacting with everyone and made some lovely images in the process.

Enjoy a few highlights of the day below.
