  • A Springfield Manor Winery Wedding | Maryland Photographer

I really, REALLY love shooting at brand new venues. It’s so much fun for me and it sparks a creative side of me that I don’t get to use when I’m shooting at a familiar spot. Now don’t get me wrong, I love our familiar venues too! However, I really loved shooting at this new venue this past Friday because it was unlike any venue we have photographed this year! It included mountain views, rolling hills, a gorgeous statement fountain, a 1700’s historic home and lavender fields! What a dream!

The Knot: 50 Weddings, 50 States

  • Featured

That moment when you realize you made it into the Knot’s special “50 Weddings, 50 States” feature but it’s NOT for your own state!!! ha! We were so honored to realize that one of our all time FAVORITE weddings was featured in this special post by The Knot! They highlighted weddings all over the country and we were selected to represent OHIO with Ben and Carlyn’s rustic, bohemian barn wedding! Do you remember this wedding? It was the one that I had to stand on the roof of our rental car in order to get my favorite field shot!! ha!

Back in the winter when I took a poll about what everyone would love to see more of on the blog, a ton of people wanted to hear from Michael more!! Don’t worry, I’m not offended. He’s a cool guy:) And he has a lot to share too!! Michael has been second shooting with me for years and years. What most people don’t realize is that he has been shooting with me since BEFORE we joined forces in 2013! Michael helped me all the way through college and that really helped us transition into being a husband/wife team very easily.
