Brittany & Joey 9/8/2012

(Ceremony Site:) Maryland Theater  Hagerstown, MD

(Reception Site:) Fairplay Banquet Hall   Fairplay, MD

From the moment Brittany ask us to shoot her wedding I just knew this was going to be one of extreme fun and great pictures! Brittany and Joey were not your typical bride and groom and they definitely did not have a typical wedding.  Their event was held at the historic Maryland Theater in Hagerstown MD and under the bright spotlights is where this couple belonged. They were definitely the stars of the day and they made our jobs incredibly easy with their natural ability to dazzle the camera. Their Punk Rock style and their hip attitude is what made this wedding special. From Chuck Taylor's to Vans, to BMX bikes everything about this wedding was fun fun fun! They were married on the stage under the bright lights and it was a show to be seen.  Brittany's dress was amazing and the whole wedding party looked like Rock n Roll. Brittany came down the isle in the rays of a spotlight and her entrance was one of the best I have ever seen. After the ceremony we spent over an hour being creative with this crew because it was hard to not get a good shot. This truly was a dream wedding for us and even know there was bad weather outside we were able to accomplish a lot in the theater. Their reception was lavishly decorated in pink lights and their wedding party entered through the haze of smoke and strobe lights with each guy riding in on their BMX bikes. DJ Sidekick pumped the tunes and the drinks were flowing as were the good times. The evening was a blast and I thoroughly enjoyed this one. To Brittany and Joey, thanks for making our jobs pleasurable... you are the reason we do this.... enjoy

Lauren & Ed 9/1/2012

(Ceremony Site:) St. John's Church 2nd street

       Frederick, MD

(Reception Site:) Dutch's Daughter

     Frederick, MD

Ok... being that I am a HUGE Baltimore Orioles Fan, and that the Orioles and the Yankees are battling it out right now for a chance at the ALCS and a World Series bid,  this Yankees themed wedding was, still a blast to shoot! Lauren and Ed were married on September 1st in historic downtown Frederick but we started the day off with the girls at Lauren's parents home where they had a man cave full of Yankee memorabilia. It was quite fun trying to incorporate her wedding details in with the Yankees trinkets but I think we came up with some very entertaining things.  Along with a Yankee basement, the Hammond's had a lovely home and made our crew feel welcome the entire day. Its so nice to be made to feel like part of the gang at these events and it really ads to our experience and creativity level. Ed and the guys were waiting at the church when the bride arrived and down the aisle she went. Their service was set in the beautiful St John's Catholic Church on Second Street in Frederick and there were no shortages of tear jerking moments. After the service we spent time with the bridal party downtown at Carroll Creek and then off to the Dutches' Daughter for the reception. The Dutches' Daughter is alway a fabulous venue in which to work and again the family and guest were so enthusiastic it was hard to not find a good picture in the place. The baseball theme was carried through throughout the night. There were ball tickets for the place settings, Lauren and Ed each had a jersey with their name on it that the guest signed and the the father of the bride gave periodic updates of the ballgame score as the evening went on. It was a pleasure to work with Lauren and Ed and their families. The best part about our jobs as wedding photographers are the relationships that we get to make and this event allowed us to gain not only clients but friends as well..... enjoy
