I think I've officially discovered something from Megan and Tim's portrait session, and that is that every bride loves to twirl in her wedding dress. And let's be honest, not only does she feel awesome while she's twirling, but she looks awesome...and so does the dress for that matter! Well, you'll get to see Megan twirl a couple of times in the photos below that I took from our session at Brookside Gardens! Megan connected with me a few months back with the idea of taking some portraits taken, because their wedding photographer was very photojournalistic at their event. So there are very few portraits of Megan and Tim alone and very few shots that really showcase the dress as well. I told her I was completely game and met up with them just a few weeks ago to have some fun!

Brookside Gardens is a really stunning place for portraits. I had never been there, but I most definitely will be back, if anything just to roam around and take in all of the scenery! I really felt like it combined elements I like from Meadowlark Gardens in Vienna, along with stonework similar to Dumbarton Oaks in Georgetown. Although it was incredibly hot the evening Megan, Tim and I set out on our adventure, you can't really even tell! Megan and Tim looked awesome, and it was such a pleasure getting to walk around, take their photos, and get to know them. I was really pleased with the photographs we got, and I hope you enjoy them!

Thanks so much Megan and Tim for letting me take some portraits of you! (We'll just try to forget how horrendous I looked after sweating all over the place...ha ha ha!) :)

Thanks for looking!

Love,

I was so excited when I booked Aubrey and Alex, not only because they are a really cool couple from Baltimore (who also own a really cool dog named Athena), but because they were having their wedding at Howard County Conservancy! I've always wanted to photograph at this location! Between the rolling hills of tall grass, the old barns, and the awesome garden areas, it's really quite an outdoor photographers dream! The day started off really hot, so I knew I'd have to keep Aubrey and Alex as cool as possible! The ceremony was outside in a pretty tree-covered area, so that at least alleviated some of the heat and kept the bright sun off of their faces! Aubrey and Alex looked so amazing and in love during their ceremony. Aubrey even cried a little bit during their vows and I got a little choked up! They're just so cute! After the ceremony I took the wedding party to the inside of a nearby barn so they could get their inner-model on, and then finished up with some portraits of Aubrey and Alex. Later on in the evening I took the newlyweds back outside for some portraits in the field which I really loved! We were this close to having a storm in the background of their photos, but alas, the clouds dissipated and went away (and, lets be honest, probably not best to be in the middle of a field during a storm, yes? Yes!).

Many thanks to Aubrey and Alex and their families for having me out to photograph this special occasion! I had a blast and I sincerely hope you enjoy your photos!

Thanks for looking!

Love,
