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!

Caitlin and Scott chose to have a small, intimate St. Ignatius Chapel Point wedding. Their guests were treated to a scenic ride from Elliott City to a historical gem in Southern Maryland. St. Ignatius is the oldest Catholic parish in continuous service in the United States. It was founded in 1641.

This beautiful church with such a rich history is a symbol of faith and strength — two qualities that Caitlin and Scott also share. And just as these qualities have served as a foundation for the church for several hundred years, they will also serve as a foundation for Caitlin and Scott’s marriage. I was honored to document the ceremony and some bride and groom portraits for this sweet couple.
