April & John // Mansion Wedding

This fall I’ve already had the opportunity to travel all over for weddings and engagements. Just an hour west brought me to Haymarket on Saturday, while a short hour east presents Baltimore, a totally different environment. That’s one great aspect of living and working in Washington DC, it serves as a central hub for urban atmospheres, rural landscapes, and anything in between.
I had the pleasure of photographing April and John’s wedding throughout Baltimore, with their day beginning at the fabulous downtown Marriott Courtyard near the Inner Harbor. We then had a short drive to St. Vincent de Paul Church, which really had a grungy facade and mysterious feel to it, as you can see below.

Their wedding ended at the Mansion at Valley Country Club, which is a historic victorian mansion north of Baltimore. This made for an exciting reception and provided fantastic elements for some unforgettable pictures.

Here are just a few of my favoirties from the day. Enjoy!

Melissa & Kevin // A Beach Wedding

Melissa and Kevin had their wedding at the fantastic Chesapeake Bay Beach Club. It was an incredible day mixed of fun people, perfect weather, and a reception that was wild! The DJ (D-Mac) kept the flow going throughout the entire night.
DISCLAIMER: Right now it’s that time of the summer, it seems EVERYONE is out of town for vacation, so don’t scroll down if you’re at home with a desire to be on the beach!
Thanks to Tara Parekh for the great second shooting.
Enjoy!
