Heyhey! How is everybody doing? I've been a busy wedding shooting bee this summer and have a few weddings I can't wait to show you all. In case you're ever curious what I'm up to when I'm not posting on my blog do check out my Twitter. I love posting sneak peeks and funny stories from the weddings I shoot. So, what are you waiting for? Follow me!

This wedding took place at the lovely Union Mills Homestead in Westminster, MD. I had never been there before and it was just beautiful. Not to mention I think I really did fall in love with the wedding party and guests. I stalled a good 20 minutes at the end of my contracted time because I didn't want to leave. And once I did leave I felt like I hadn't just done my job but that I had also made friends. That's the best.

Before I get a hundred emails about where these girls got their dresses from I'll just tell you here: the one and only Anthropologie! Beautiful, right?

Tyler and Jessica went detail crazy for their reception. I was in heaven!

The favors were tea bags from Baltimore, MD. Haha I suddenly felt very far away from home.

Tyler and Jessica flew out their friend Jeff Alfiero from Nashville (where they now live together) to play during the reception. Can I just say live music is incredibly superior to any sort of mix at a reception? Or, forget a reception, anywhere for that matter! He played/sang for 4 hours straight - no sheet music, no lyrics. And he even took one of my requests! I was very impressed. Jeff, if you're reading this, you made my night.

Tyler is an incredibly talented musician himself. He composed much of the music for the wedding!

Tyler & Jess - You two are a wonderful couple. Thank you for having me on the first day of your life together. I wish you the very best forever and always.

I was already looking forward to this wedding and then it happened. I saw The Tree of Life. I'm a little bit of a movie nerd and I had been looking forward to seeing this moving for a good amount of time. It surpassed every expectation I had. And more than that, it inspired me like nobody's business. As an artist that is the true test of a good movie, whether or not I'm sitting there going "I want to make art RIGHT NOW" or not. If you're an artist and you haven't felt that way watching a movie, stop counting down the days until Twilight and go see The Tree of Life. For serious.
Ok, so back to the wedding. Like I said, I was looking forward to this one for a while! I photographed Tierra and Nick's engagement photos this winter and I knew their wedding was going to be a blast. And then I Googled the venue. Shut up. The Billingsley House Museum was just what I needed after watching that movie. I wandered around in awe of the little details and enchanted by the patterns and colors. So, in honor of my inspiration, the charming venue, and beautiful couple, I present you Tierra and Nick's wedding!

Well, hello there gorgeous. I was in love with Tierra's shoes.

Words cannot express how proud I was of Tierra for not going "matchy matchy" on her wedding day. From the different bridesmaids bouquets to including a "bridesman" in her bridal party, I was loving Tierra's unconventional taste. You go girl.
