Perfect weddings come togther when the people have great connection, good times and are genuinely happy to be celebrating with loved ones. Lauren and Cameron's family, bridal party and guests really made this day perfect for us as photographer's.  Enjoy a smidge of our favorites below!

Chelsea + Dan | Blind Whino wedding reception

The people that matter the most in your life should be there to celebrate [and dance] with you on your special day.

What can we say about Chelsea and Dan, and their families? A-MAZING! This was unlike any other wedding we've done because there was no ceremony, it was just a fun party with great people! A few weeks prior, they had a small ceremony with a small group of their closest. Though it was just a reception-wedding, we did get to spend several hours with them including getting ready where we met the famous Piper, their labradoodle.

The Blind Whino is where they chose to have their party and an amazing party it was. Thankfully we had a great team to put everything together with Lee of Elizabeth Bailey Weddings coordinating it all.

Yuxuan + Guanbo | Four Seasons Baltimore Wedding

Our first wedding of 2016 couldn't have started off on a sweeter note. Yuxuan & Guanbo had a perfect blend of traditional Chinese and American culture mixed into their wedding. They were surrounded by their closest friends and family, some of which traveled from China for the special occasion. While they did see each other before the ceremony for the "first look" Guanbo, aka Bo had to pass a test which involved more sit-ups and singing [Mouse Loves Rice] than any groom would want to do with a suit on. I found myself sweating as he made it through his trial of love. Yuxuan was simply happy, elegant and beautiful all day long. Together they are a perfect pair and photographing them was an inspiring process. Though their day was short, since they didnt have a dancing reception it was filled with love, laughter and great connections that we felt privileged to witness.

Libby & Brian | Briar Patch B&B Inn wedding

We had a really great fall season in 2015. Libby and Brian's wedding was the best way to end the season with everything about the day being perfect. The morning started bright and early with a group breakfast at Briar Patch Bed & Breakfast. The mood was happy and very relaxed which carried over well into the getting ready part of the day.  Throughout the day they shared great moments with the family, friends and bridal party which involved tons of laughter, a few precious tears and many many hugs. The night was topped off with some of the most impressive dancing we've seen this year. Specifically Libbys dance with her father, then Libby owning the dance floor while all her closest girl friends cheered her on and followed suit.

Marisa & Josh | Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Wedding

Marisa and Josh had a late October wedding on one the most beautiful days last fall. These two are such a great couple together. We just loved spending the day with them and capturing the love, fun and energy of their family and friends. There were many highlights for us but the one that stood out the most was when Marisa's sister gave her toast. She rapped to the tune of Fresh Prince of Bel Air! It was a totally unexpected moment as she kept it a surprise from everyone. The crowd erupted and it set the tone for the rest of the reception which was punctuated by excellent music by the band Amsterdam and some insane dancing.
