    When my little brother accepted an internship at an equine hospital in Oklahoma a few years ago, I was happy for him, but sad to see him move. Our family has always been close, and Oklahoma was no longer just a short car trip away. Add to that, that I’m terrified of tornadoes having been in one myself, and his position in the middle of tornado country didn’t sit well with me either.

    But in time I learned that there was a higher power at work with a plan better than one I could have imagined. While there, CJ met Brittany, who had accepted an internship at the same hospital. Fast forward a little bit and they are now in the midst of wedding plans for next June. I couldn’t be happier for CJ and am so excited to welcome Brittany into our family!

    Rain on a wedding day makes me a little nervous. So when the forecast called for showers on Brenda and Dan’s wedding day, I was praying that the overcast skies would hold on to those raindrops at least during the times we needed to be outside. While I worried, Brenda remained perfectly calm. She even asked at one point if it was supposed to rain as if the thought hadn’t crossed her mind and wouldn’t bother her if it did. She was completely focused on the purpose of the day and unconcerned with all of the what ifs. I can’t think of a better way to begin a marriage, focusing on the bigger picture and not letting the smaller, uncontrollable circumstances affect her outlook. Thankfully it didn’t rain, but I’m not sure Brenda would have even noticed if it did! And now for a few of my favorites from their elegant summer wedding.

    The following vendors contributed to the day include: Anita’s Cake Shop, Scarborough Farm Flowers and Olde Breton Inn.

        Trinity and Nick’s wedding was a labor of love. Their families crafted each detail with their own hands to create the day Trinity and Nick had always wanted. Trinity’s dad, who is an amazing carpenter, made the wooden wagon that held their gifts, the sand ceremony box and table, the sweetheart table, tables for the guest book and place cards, and chalkboards. Trinity’s mom potted all of the plant favors and served as their coordinator during the planning process. And Nick’s brother and niece worked together to draw the tree used for the guest book. Talk about a family affair! I think it’s all the more meaningful knowing that these details were created by loved ones. And how luck are Trinity and Nick not only to have found one another, but also to have such a supportive family by their side as they begin this new phase in their lives. I can’t wait to see what is in store for these two!
    The vendors that contributed to their day include: Woodlawn, Ridge, Md., Venue and Bar; Bailey’s Catering, catering and tent; Kathy York of Scarborough Farm Flowers, flowers; DeAnna Pinno, cakes; Off the Hook Entertainment, DJ; Joe Orlando of Creative Weddings of Southern Maryland, officiant; Bella Salon in California, MD, hair and makeup; and Matthew Christopher from Angelique Bridal in NY, NY, dress.

    Whenever I visit Nanjemoy, I can’t help but notice how peaceful and laid back it is there, not to mention the beautiful scenery. So I was more than happy to visit to photograph Alexis and Joel for their engagement session, and am just as excited to return to the exact same spot this September for their wedding. Here are just a few of my favorites!
