c&iphoto — Tue, 09 Dec 2014 20:28:37 +0000

One of the best parts of being a wedding photographer is spending the day with folks who are so excited and full of love. Shooting Claudia & Alphonso’s wedding was one of these feel good days for sure! Their venue, The Old silk mill was a new one for us, so we loved having totally fresh back drops to capture all of Claudia & Alphonso’s beautiful day! Congrats!

Diana & David Engaged | Glen Echo Park | Glen Echo, MD

c&iphoto — Tue, 13 May 2014 20:32:20 +0000

I’ve known Diana for a long time. We met at one of my first jobs, almost ten years ago. I worked as a lab tech at a little photo store (FotoImage) in Burtonsville, MD. Diana would stop by the lab and get her film processed. Ahhh… Memories. From then on, we remained good friends. When she called to tell me she got engaged and she wanted me to be their photographer, I couldn’t have been more excited. David is a perfect match for Diana, they both have so much fun together – truly best friends. So happy for the two of you, can’t wait for your wedding!

Sara & Rob | Engaged | Ellicott City, MD Photographer

c&iphoto — Thu, 30 Jan 2014 19:50:27 +0000

Temperatures were barely above freezing, but that was no match for all the love and warmth at Sara and Rob’s engagement session! The shoot was scheduled for the week before, but Maryland gave us a few frigid 6 degree days. After bumping the session to a (slightly) warmer day, we headed out to get some great shots! I don’t think any amount of weather could keep Sara & Rob from having a great time together!

Sara & Rob were just like old pals, joking back and forth as we walked around the city. Everywhere we went, the lighting was perfect for photos! The pair warmed up with delicious coffees in Bean Hollow while we captured more moments. These two could be anywhere in the world, and they would still be comfortable! Ahh, Love!

Grey & Peter | Married 2013 | Chesapeake, MD Wedding photographer

c&iphoto — Fri, 03 Jan 2014 15:49:24 +0000

We first met Grey and Peter at their home located on The Chesapeake Bay. They live in a beautiful house (custom designed by Peter) overlooking a cliff on the water. They have four dogs all with their own personality. While walking around their property you would often see one of the dogs darting through the woods, disappear for ten minutes then come running back as if they had just seen a ghost. Same thing happened during their ceremony, all four dogs ran away and right before Grey and Peter gave their vows, the dogs came running back as if to come back just to watch. It was an intimate and private ceremony with close friends and family. After wards Peter poured kerosene all over a stubborn bonfire, it was a nice ending to the ceremony. Everything was perfect. This April is their big ceremony and celebration – which I can’t wait to photograph! They’re the nicest guys in the world with an amazing family, Congratulations guys!

Keren + Derek | Engaged | Winter engagement | Downtown Annapolis maryland photographer

c&iphoto — Thu, 02 Jan 2014 17:27:19 +0000

There’s something special about a photo in the snow. It’s just so magical looking. We were lucky enough to get a little snow this cold December morning when Keren, Derek, and I ventured out into downtown Annapolis. Living less than 10 min from the water and being one of their favorite spots, we couldn’t think of a place better suited to capture their engagement session. I first met Keren and Derek at Mel & Harry’s wedding a couple months back. Derek was Harry’s best man. This being my third time getting to hang with them, we had a great time just walking (OK mostly driving with the heat turned on full blast) around downtown finding little places to duck out and take photos here and there. One of my favorite scenes being them against a blue building right when the snow began to fall a little heavier. Ok, that and the picture of them with Santa and Mrs. Clause

Laura & Billy | Married | Baltimore, MD Photographer

c&iphoto — Sat, 16 Nov 2013 19:39:48 +0000

This wedding was a “ball” to shoot. First of all, Laura and Billy are an awesome couple and having met Billy’s sister, Karen, 2 years prior gave us a little more of a connection to start with. At Karen’s wedding friends and family loved having a good time, so I could only anticipate what this one would be like. The wedding took place at Holy Rosary Church and reception in Baltimore at the 1840’s Ballroom on the 4th floor which was really cool because the ballroom consists of 4 uniquely styled and themed floors.

Nothing was more important than the good time being photographed well, and honestly, they were some of the nicest people I’ve met. Actually, funny story: I was dying of thirst by the time I reached the reception hall, and I asked Billy if there was water in this giant cooler they had sitting there, his response, “There’s no water, but you can have a beer!” And the “one beer requirement” my friends, lead to some terrible acid reflux the rest of the night!

Regardless, everything went perfectly, it was a great wedding, and everyone was happy.

Erin + Will | Engaged | Historic Ellicott City Maryland Photographer

c&iphoto — Mon, 07 Oct 2013 02:51:30 +0000

Erin and Will are your classic All-American love story. They started dating back in high school, which is why the setting for their first set of images is so appropriate. We began our day on the Howard High School football field where Will spent his time playing football and Erin was … you guessed it…a cheer leader. Finishing up in one of their favorite spots frequently visited on date nights, Old Ellicott City.

Corinne & Sean | 8.24.13 | Serra Valley Farms | Wedding photographer

c&iphoto — Thu, 03 Oct 2013 17:27:53 +0000

I first met Corinne & Sean way back when at Bridgette & Cory’s Wedding in 2011. We have been fortunate to work with many amazing people through recommendations, and Corinne and Sean are exactly those type of people. We love the vintage country vibe, so when they told me they were having their reception at Serra Valley Farms, I couldn’t wait. It has a modern vintage look and feel to it, makes for an amazing backdrop. During their engagement session Corinne really wanted to have some shots with her horse Kona, so it was only fitting to have horses be a part of their wedding. When they arrived at the reception site, Corinne & Sean went on a carriage ride around the property before being dropped off to join everyone for the reception. It was like being a part of a movie. Congratulations Corinne & Sean!

Susan + John | Married 7.30.13 | Annandale, VA wedding photographer

c&iphoto — Mon, 30 Sep 2013 19:07:27 +0000

Susan & John are good friends of mine. Well, Susan recently and John for the past 5 years because we have worked together at the United States Senate Photography Studio. It’s always stressful when shooting for a fellow photographer , for both the photographer shooting and the photographer being photographed lol. If you followed that sentence, then congratulations. Anyhow, I was honored when John asked me to photograph his wedding. I hope to know you guys for a very long time.

Kaylin + Brandon | Married |5.18.13 | Ripken Stadium, Aberdeen Maryland Photographer

c&iphoto — Wed, 03 Jul 2013 02:04:45 +0000

Kaylin and Brandon wedding was a long time coming for us. We first met way back in august of 2011. When we met up for their engagement session they were just coming back from a kayak trip. In fact, you put Kaylin & Brandon in a kayak give Brandon a fishing pole and they are right at home. It’s no wonder they had all sorts of nature-themed decorations and greens and blues at the wedding. They even gave out little baby trees as wedding favors- northern trees for their northern guests and vise versa for the south. Their wedding was held at the Ripken Baseball stadium in Aberdeen, Maryland. It was a little dreary the morning of the wedding but the rain luckily held off and the ceremony was held out on the field as planned. It was very cool to have the whole stadium to ourselves!

Lauren + Michael | Married | 5.25.13 | Westminster Maryland | Photographer

c&iphoto — Thu, 20 Jun 2013 17:10:03 +0000

Lauren and Michael were so much fun! They have such a sense of humor, but at the same time, such a closeness toward one another. You can tell by the way they look at each other, that they are so in love; they just have that sparkle. Plus, they really know how to have a good time. Lauren and Michael were married at Union Mills Homestead, which is in Westminster, Md. All the trees, blooming flowers, and history of the venue really made the place beautiful and one of a kind. Thanks again for having us guys, keep being awesome and congratulations!

Nicole + Steven | Married | 4.26.13 | Pasadena Maryland Photographer

c&iphoto — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 16:16:00 +0000

Nicole and I met all the way back around our high school days. We (Nicole, Ian, and I) attended the same church for a while. So it was of course exciting when I got the call to meet about her and Steven’s Big day. We usually become friends with all of our brides and grooms throughout the whole wedding process anyway, so its always a bonus and makes the whole experience extra fun when we already know each other. Nicole & Steven were married at the Anchor Inn, which is in Pasadena, Maryland. The quaint little venue sits on the water overlooking little docks and lots of boats. Very pretty for a spring time wedding in MD. Congrats you guys!

Jennifer + Buddy | Engaged | Ellicott City, Maryland Photographer

c&iphoto — Sun, 26 May 2013 18:37:40 +0000

I met these two at Liz & Andy’s wedding last summer (Liz is Buddy’s older sister). Danielle and I actually got to enjoy Sunday dinner with their whole family a few weeks ago; Buddy and Liz’s mom was so nice to invite us over before we did the engagement shoot. It was great getting to know the whole family! After dinner, Jennifer and Buddy pulled on their cowboy boots and led us behind the house down a trail into a beautiful, rustic, country-esque park. I felt like we were in western Maryland or something for a moment; I kept forgetting we were in Elkridge, only 20 minutes away from where I live. The place was picture perfect and of course Buddy and Jennifer were right at home practically in their own backyard

Taylor + Brandon | Engaged | Thurmont Maryland photographer

c&iphoto — Wed, 22 May 2013 03:02:34 +0000

I first met Taylor when I photographed Liz & Andy’s wedding last summer. Her family actually owns the Mathwig Estate Event Barn, which is quickly becoming the most popular off the grid wedding venue in Maryland. We were excited to be a part of their first wedding show there a couple months ago; Taylor did a great job hosting it of course! And then I made the long drive back to Thurmont (where the Barn is located) for Taylor and Brandon’s engagement session…which has become one of my favorite shoots recently. Everything was so inspiring – the location, the perfect lighting, and of course Taylor and Brandon My wife ended up texting me asking where I was since I had been there for so long lol oops! Anyways…here’s what we were doing for so long….

Megan + David | Engaged | Annapolis Maryland photographer

c&iphoto — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 16:48:00 +0000

I met up with Megan & David at the waterfront in downtown Annapolis, Maryland. Now, people typically think, “oh the waterfront, seen it once, seen it 100 times.” But whenever I shoot here…I am constantly discovering new colors, patterns, shapes, and well… you’ll see. Megan & David, you guys were a pleasure to photograph. Next stop…wedding
