How did you meet?

We were both in 3rd Company at the Naval Academy.

What did you like best about your wedding day?

It was exciting to have so many friends and family meet each other as we celebrated.

After speaking with a potential client this week, I thought I would be sure to post this image.  I don’t normally show what I call the standard formal stuff but you should know that I pretty much always capture some version of this image.  I call it the mom shot – the image that moms want for their piano top silver frames and for the newspaper.  In general, we spend about 20-30 minutes on ALL the group images either before or after the ceremony – your choice!  I want you to be able to get to your party without worrying about missing an important family group!  Of course, the formals list is always in your hands – more groups?  Sure!  Fewer?  That’s great too!

I do like to have a wee bit of time to get the romantic stuff.

What was your favorite moment during the day?

Getting heckled during our first dance…

and continuing the party at McGarvey’s in downtown Annapolis!

some of the fun details from the wedding include amazing flowers

and delicious bonbons!

What’s next on your calender as a couple?

We’re looking forward to a honeymoon in Italy!

I was honored to be able to photograph this event. The original date was in September and was booked by Mike Topham; the couple had to change their date as the groom’s father received orders to go to Iraq. As Mike was not available on the changed date, I was proud to be able to step in.

Heard many times that day, “they will make beautiful babies wont they?!” I think so! What do you think??? Congratulations you two!

And thank you Colonel for your service and to all who fight so that we may remain free.
