it’s turning into a bit of a tradition at this point to share the news months & months late, but we are so excited nonetheless to share that we’ve been selected as a @washingtonianweddings top vendor again this year! 🥰

reminiscing on 2025, it honestly still all feels like a dream (in the best way!) 🤍 from charlottesville to provence, middleburg to baltimore to medellín, we’re still in awe of all of the beauty we were fortunate enough to capture!

and while the backdrops were unreal, what we remember most fondly from the last year were the PEOPLE (yet again!)🥹 another year of working alongside the most incredible, visionary vendor teams and photographing & filming some of the world’s best humans... truly, clients who shared their hearts with us and were so unbelievably kind, cool, and so dang fun.

it was another year full of “pinch me” moments because we’re forever in disbelief that THIS is our career and THESE are the people we get to work alongside.

we’re so honored to have been nominated by peers & the washingtonian; seeing our name in print won’t ever get old! and so, so very grateful to our vendor partners, friends & family, our remarkable team (truly, couldn’t have done it without you!), and amazing clients for making this dream job possible 💫

we’ve already captured so much more beauty so far in 2026 & can’t wait for all of the goodness to come! but here’s a handful of images that are just a taste (we wish we could include them all!) of last year’s stunning lineup 🫶🏻🫶🏽

when we moved to the east coast in 2014, i was supposed to give up photography & throw myself completely into the world of nursing at hopkins. instead, i fell so much more in love with my craft in a beautiful new market and roped mateo into joining the business 🤍 we may live across state borders in virginia now, but we are SO proud to continue to serve the baltimore market & love every excuse to re-visit our old stomping grounds!

which is why we’re beyond grateful to have been chosen by @wezoree as a top 5 photographer in baltimore! ✨ truly, such an honor— and among such talent, too! endless thank yous; so excited to be on this cool platform.

to celebrate charm city love, we skimmed through some of our baltimore weddings over the last few years and grabbed a handful of goodies to share! we wish we had a million slides to share every last client and baltimore wedding but tried to fit in as many as possible 🫶🏻 it’s so fun to re-live these amazing weddings & to see how our work (and editing!!) has evolved over the last couple of years. to our clients, we love you so much and are so thankful you trust us to capture your days! it warms my actual heart to look back on these photos and remember how cool you all are 🥹

ALSO so grateful for the inspiring & remarkable industry community in the area & the amazing vendors who make it all possible. a special shout out to our loves @nouvelleweddings @victoriaclausenflorals who are featured in so many of these images, the @georgepeabodylibrary, & the rooftop of the @fsbaltimore! we can’t get enough of these talented people and gorgeous spaces 💫 taken in Baltimore, Maryland by @annaandmateo

When the setting is as stunning as the @georgepeabodylibrary, and cuisine is the whole point… you lean into celebrating the natural beauty of the earth’s harvest, both in florals & in beautiful produce!

Because if this event proved nothing else, it proved that food is an art form. We absolutely loved teaming up with this stellar vendor team for this suppertime soirée!

a perfect late-summer wedding day on the bay ☀️🩵

with the cheeriest palette of blue and butter yellow, coastal-inspired details at every turn, breezy sailcloth tents on the waterfront, the best bridal hype squad, & such a sweet couple at the center of it all, this wedding day felt like a dream!

designed beautifully by the amazing @lynn_aaron of @nouvelleweddings at the iconic @whitehalleventsmd, this wedding brought the most smiles & so much bayside magic 🥰

S&M, we are so grateful to have celebrated with you & cannot wait to share more soon!

When the vibe is enchanted garden but it’s a little chilly for an outdoor ceremony… the garden magic comes indoors! 🌹

Full of textural red rose goodness and with vines growing up the wall behind this show-stopping chuppah, E&M’s beautiful and sentimental ceremony is one that we won’t soon forget!

The pavilion felt so warm, cozy, and full-of-life, with the sweetest energy and emotion 🥹 and with a stunning sailcloth tent reception, it really couldn’t have been any dreamier!

long live summer ☀️ obsessed with these two and these carefree summer magic vibes! Y&S opted for an engagement video to show off a romantic and adventurous feel and introduce their guests to the gorgeous @whitehalleventsmd, since many are coming from abroad!

we cannot wait to reunite with them in this beautiful backdrop with the amazing @nouvelleweddings so soon! 🤍

but really, is there anything more chic than eloping in paris, window-shopping all of your favorite designers, & then cozying up to croissants and champs? 🥐

missing the sights & sounds of paris and the perfect day with these two who were up for anything! bisous! 🤍

Featured on @stylemepretty 🌿💙

For J + J, love truly was in full bloom.

Inspired by their shared love of plants and gardening, their Baltimore wedding transformed the space into a whimsical, romantic garden layered in shades of blue and green. But what made the day feel especially meaningful were the details that made it unmistakably theirs, from a heartfelt ofrenda honoring loved ones who had passed to a beloved Pittsburgh cookie table and seed packet favors guests could take home and plant.

The celebration was beautiful, yes. But more importantly, it told their story.

And that’s how a wedding begins to feel like home. 🤍

Congratulations, J + J! And thank you @stylemepretty for sharing their beautiful day with the world!
