Marylee and Mike aren’t from Southern Maryland, but they found the area to be the perfect spot for pictures. In addition to having their engagement session here, they’ll return to yet another beautiful venue — Jefferson Patterson Park — this summer for their relaxing, outdoor wedding. The quiet charm, stunning views and peaceful settings are what I love best about all of the local venues. Add in this lovely couple, and we’ve got the makings for some gorgeous photographs!

At Alyssa and Jonathan’s Historic St. Mary’s waterfront wedding, their friends recounted when the two began dating. Jonathan gave Alyssa an Easter basket that included a note asking Alyssa to be his girlfriend. It included two checkboxes for her answer — “yes” or “yes.” Perhaps Jonathan excluded the option of no because he knew Alyssa wouldn’t choose it, or perhaps he knew then that they were simply meant to be. Fast forward to their gorgeous wedding day and the start of their marriage, and I think we can all agree that “yes” was the only choice!

The following talented vendors contributed to this wedding: Historic St. Mary’s City; hair and makeup, Sparkle Salon; catering, Paul Kwak ProductionsCanards Catering and Event Production; rentals, Bailey’s Party Rentals; flowers, Blushing Blooms Floral Design; and stationary, Meghann Gillette.

One of the best parts of photographing a wedding is getting to know so many amazing couples and their families, which makes leaving at the end of the wedding day bittersweet. That’s why it’s so exciting to have the chance to photograph another wedding within the same family.

I photographed Brenda and Dan’s wedding a few years ago and was ecstatic to get an email from Sue, Brenda’s mom, telling me that her daughter Karen was now engaged. I was honored that they thought of me to document another beautiful wedding for their family.

For Karen and Russell’s wedding, we traveled to Ithaca, New York, where a beautiful chapel, gorgeous mountain views, a stunning bride and groom and a loving family made for an unforgettable wedding day!
