Ally & Brendan’s Elegant and Cozy October Wedding | Clarksville, MD

November 30, 2016 · 1 Comment

The first time I met up with Ally & Brendan to talk about their wedding, I instantly really liked them. I liked chatting with them and I just found that they were so sweet together. & It totally makes sense to have felt what great people they were so quickly, since their story is a little like that too – knowing at the very beginning of their relationship just how in love they both were! They are so easy going and down to earth, it made getting to know them so much fun and I’ve loved getting to be a part of their wedding! We met over the summer and after sharing some very exciting news with me (they are expecting their baby girl in the spring!! <3 ), we started looking at fall dates for their wedding at their family friend’s home in Clarksville, MD. I really do think things have a way of working out beautifully. The weather was breezy but still perfect for their outdoor ceremony & the clear-roof tent with string lights all around were a photographer’s dream! Everything was absolutely gorgeous, and Brendan’s mom, who has experience with event planning, was able to help bring everything together perfectly! Ally & Brendan’s wedding was so incredibly filled with love, surrounded by so many family and friends excited to celebrate! I know you two are going to be the sweetest parents and I am so excited for all the future adventures 2017 has for you!

Congratulations Ally & Brendan, and thank you SO much for allowing myself and Beya to be a part your beautiful wedding day!!

It's about the experience, about the joy and the love and the relationships with the most important people in your life. Whether it's your wedding day, engagement, or family session, it's about you soaking up every bit of it, and having beautiful photos to cherish afterwards. I love love, and love meeting new people.

Before everyone gets ready to say ✌️ to 2020, Before everyone gets ready to say ✌️ to 2020, here’s a look back to NYE last year! The most gorgeous December day as Corinne and Zach celebrated their marriage in a sweet intimate ceremony at Artifact Coffee! Loved capturing this day for these two and so grateful that 2020 gave us the chance to reunite again when they helped officiate their close friends Lesley and John’s intimate wedding. Happy happy anniversary Corinne and Zach! Happy first year of marriage, and here’s to many more happy and healthy years to come!! 💗
