I’d love to book one more wedding for 2025 ⇢ leave a comment

⇢ if you or someone you know are interested and wedding planning

⇢ wants to spend their wedding in the moment

⇢ loves an authentic mix of mostly candid images with some prompted portraits thrown in

⇢ wants their wedding gallery to look like exactly like it took back with a true to life editing style

⇢ wouldn’t mind spending their wedding with a photographer who blends in with their guests and fits in like an old friend

When it comes to weddings, the booking process is kind of a like a little rollercoaster of emotions for me.

The inquiry comes in ⇢ “yes!” *excited*

Responds genuinely + attaches the initial wedding guide ⇢ “please like my way of doing things!” *anxious*

Waits for a response ⇢ *hopeful that they like my style + think it’s worth investing in*

Sets up discovery call ⇢ *nervous* talks through all of my stuff + learns about the couple and their wedding plans

Waits for a response ⇢ *feels like years when its been days*

(the responses)
Ready to Book ⇢ “yes!” *elated, so over the moon excited*
Decides to go elsewhere ⇢ genuinely I totally understand that I am not a good fit for everyone *a little bummed but not really bc nothing should be forced or faked here*
No response ever again ⇢ bleh.

But for those who do decide to move forward, it makes this rollercoaster so worth it, every single emotion, because I know that we are align so well and that it felt like talking with an old friend. I am legitimately celebrating and so thrilled. I send over a hearty WRP welcome packet that is filled with my favorite wedding industry friendors that I have worked with numerous times and know that you would love them too.

It’s filled with 49 amazing creatives and wedding small businesses and well it’s kind of like my 1990s rom-com edition little black book .. so when you reach out to book, just know that a major effort is put out to ensure that with each wedding I will do my part to make it an easy going day with all of your vendors so that you have a seamless and beautiful wedding.

really loving the studio maternity sessions !

One of things that never goes unnoticed for me as a wedding and event photographer is that no day of work is ever even remotely close to the same as another.

I am fortunate that my work takes me to all kinds of pretty spaces, amazing views and places with sentimental values.

This year, to name a few, I am shooting at —
⇢ a local family farm and fire hall reception space
⇢ Holy Rosary Catholic Church ceremony + Barcocina reception
⇢ x5
⇢
⇢
⇢
⇢ Tymeless Valley Farm
⇢ St Marys Catholic Church +
⇢
⇢ Private estates in Easton and St Michael’s

Also, if you’re local to the KI or Eastern Shore of MD area and interested in a fun night out for an amazing foundation that is instrumental in our community’s youth — check out foundation, dress up a bit and come join us on 03.15 at The Chesapeake Bay Beach Club for our third annual Elegance with an Edge gala. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year and it is going to be one hell of a night out to show up for our kids in a way that is different than all 364 other days of the year. You can find the link for tickets in my profile and over at theedge360.net ☀︎

slow season for the wedding industry looks like ..

⇢ planning a creative styled shoot with friendors and connecting with creatives that we want to work more with

⇢ speaking with potential wedding couples who are searching for the perfect match for their upcoming wedding and booking those who align well with our style of doing things

⇢ working out details with our upcoming wedding couples so that their wedding goes off perfectly

⇢ cleaning our gear, purchasing new SD/CF cards and hard drives, formatting SD/CF cards

⇢ updating our websites, pricing and CRM files

⇢ prepping for the dreaded T word .. taxes

⇢ revisiting galleries from years past to see our growth, acknowledge our strengths and relive some of the best days

⇢ in my case since I equally book family, maternity, newborn and branding sessions - I am shooting in-home and studio sessions and booking for Spring and Summer

⇢ and of course, resting before a busy season kicks off in a few short months that we are already so excited about

just hit publish on a new blog from one of my favorite summer weddings of '24

to take place at her childhood church and her parent's property on the water in St Michael's MD. This wedding was so detail oriented and every single thing was curated perfectly. The huge sailcloth tent on the water, Griff's boat tied at the dock, the delicate lace of Joanie's dress and her stunning...
