Meet April and Dan. An awesome couple that chose one of the most unique urban locations you could imagine: Pennsylvania Train Station in Baltimore. This train station engagement shoot was a fun change of pace from my last few sessions and a thrill the whole way through. We ventured in and out and down and up – capturing some great shots.
Can’t wait for your Baltimore wedding on 3-3-12.
Enjoy!


















Melinda & Pat // Portland Engagement

Melinda and Pat are two of the most down to earth and nicest people I’ve met in a while. Melinda is from Alaska and Pat is from Portland, Maine (oh.. just a few miles away). Once they booked me for their DC wedding it came down to timing and a location for their engagement. It happened that they decided on Portland and flew me out with them!
I had the pleasure of meeting Pat’s parents, getting a comprehensive tour of Portland’s coast, learning way too much about lighthouses (just kidding!), eating some awesome lobster and homemade enchiladas, and of course spending the day capturing these two together. The sun even decided to come out in full swing; it was the perfect weekend mixture. I can’t thank you both enough!
With that said I’m extremely excited to show off just a handful of my favorites from their Portland engagement shoot. Enjoy!























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!
