Marcellus and Trena – Glenview Mansion Wedding
Uncategorized / 0 Comment / December 15, 2017

What an honor to be a part of this gorgeous Glenview mansion wedding of Marcellus and Trena.   What an absolutely funny and engaging couple these two are. I was lucky enough to be chosen to capture their beautiful wedding, and am so excited to share their wedding with all of you!

With every wedding captured, I find I am constantly reminded of just how fortunate I am to be a photographer. I feel so blessed by each amazing couple I meet, and all the gorgeous venues and portraits I capture. I’m a firm believer that when you truly love what you do, it shows.  I hope you will agree…

 

 

Upon entering the room, I always start with the dress and basic essentials of the Bride…

Mother of the Bride!

Good times with the Bridesmaids and team hair and makeup!

 

 

 

 

…and then the guys start to get ready!

The handsome groom, Marcellus……

These flower girls are just precious!

Here she comes!

Wishing Trena and Marcellus many years of love, life and laughter…

David and Candice – The Hotel at the University of Maryland Wedding
a Maryland Wedding / Maryland photographer / Maryland wedding photographer / purple wedding colors / slideshows / The Hotel at the University of Maryland / Uncategorized / 0 Comment / November 8, 2017

 

The wedding of David and Candice was much anticipated for many.  Many months of purposeful planning  went into making sure that every detail was deliberate, meaningful and perfect.  I love capturing details of the day but as the day unfolds I change focus many times to capture what is needed.  In the planning process I get an understanding of what is important to the Bride and Groom and ensure those moments or details are captured so they can look back on it for an eternity with huge smiles on their faces and sometimes tears in their eyes.

David and Candice are a special couple for many reasons but it certainly was my pleasure to capture this day for them as it was a very special day in my heart as well.  I did not tell them until later in the prosess of planning that October 14th was my wedding anniversary date.  Why would I shoot a wedding on my wedding anniversary? Because capturing the joy, love and laughter of a couples wedding day is such a special undertaking and after getting to know them I, admittedly, was a bit selfish and did not want them to seek another photographer to capture their special day.  After speaking to my better half, who agreed, I was all in.

David and Candice… thanks for entrusting me to capture your wedding day.  It was nothing short of spectacular and I enjoyed every moment of it.  Your friends and family are some of the warmest and friendliest people and I was overjoyed to be a part.  May God continue to bless your union and your home.  You are officially welcomed into the #whimsy4life family and I look forward to all of your future moments that need to be captured…

 

The dress always steals the show… but practical shoes steal my heart!

David was surrounded by his brothers on this very special day.

In the meanwhile… makeup and hair artist Davia Low worked her majic on Candice…

 

Candice was cool and calm with her “girls” and mom surrounding her with pampering and love!

 

Here comes the Bride …

His face when he sees her for the first time.

 

Words can not express the vows that were written by these two and read to one another.  I was in a Chapel but I have to admit I stopped taking pictures for the second half of his vows and said a little “damn…” when David finished his disertation on his LOVE for Candice! Spectacular….

 

Presenting… Mr and Mrs Edwards!

Family….

 

Once in a while life happens before a wedding.  In this case she adorned the boot she had to wear with beads and glitter and never missed a beat!

“Should we show the boot…?”   Yes, absolutely, because life is real!

Love this!!!

 

I love sibling photos… Sis was there too!

On to the “just us” photos

These two rocked their engagement shoot earlier this year

and once again rocked this shoot outside the Chapel!

I squealed with delight when the sun hit the trees just so… When I see it, I love it!

 

 

 

The Memorial Chapel at the University of Maryland is the perfect location for a wedding…

Off to The Hotel at the University of Maryland

for a reception full of family and friends..laughter, love and joy…

The service and food was great and the views from the wrap around deck were spectacular!

Perfect decor complete the Penthouse ballroom which has perfect gray hues to work with.

Alicia did a perfect job with all of the details and coordination of the day.

Mr and Mrs Edwards on top of the most perfect cake!

The father daughter dance always touches my heart….That smile… such a special moment…

Jay Garris aka DJKeyz opened up the dancefloor and rocked the room until the last song was called.

 

 

Circle of sisterhood… Candice’s AKA sisters filled the room and surrounded her with love and song!

…I love that song!

 

Love, love, love her Link sisters surrounding her with love as well!

It was my pleasure working with Irene Johnson of eyez editing (videographer) all day.  I’m confident we’ll be working together again soon.

Sealed with one more kiss!

    Perfect example of a gorgeous queen 👑 who wante Perfect example of a gorgeous queen 👑 who wanted a portrait of her family for her birthday! Yes, we made that happen but all I could think about was taking a legacy portrait of HER!  What a beautiful woman with such a powerful soul! 
👑
She has a way about her that took me just moments to discern.  When I met her for the first time she looked me over, acknowledged my grateful greeting,took my hands in hers, and gently squeezed them with love and approval.  During the session she didn’t say much but when surrounded by her sons and later her extended family her smile radiated the room.  A woman of grand faith I could tell by furnishings that completed her living space but I was particularly drawn to a hardwood grand cross and staff leaning in the corner! After taking pictures with her paper covered bibles that I knew were special, I asked if she wanted to take a picture with her staff!  She said no but leaned toward it and we pulled it out!  My heart was so happy because I knew it was special to her! I could feel it. She posed, I snapped, we laughed and her daughter in law (who made this all happen on this day at this time) almost burst with joy!  I knew my job was done there but I do believe my portrait,my art, my vision will live a lifetime in the hearts and minds of her loved ones once we print her portrait and hang it on her wall!  I pray she will be pleased... not for what she wanted that day but for what I wanted for HER!

Be still my heart.  I love my job! Blessings ya’ll! 

💕Thank you A.D.  for the referral. 💕Thank you N.H for trusting me with the task and for being her ride or die for the day!  You are a very special daughter to her... no doubt!!!!

    Family sessions before the teens leave the nest ha Family sessions before the teens leave the nest have always been dear to my heart as they remind us of a point in time when the hustle and bustle of life seems overwhelming but the calm of the session day resets us, freezes that moment and shows us how utterly beautiful these moments are! 💕💕😎
Thank you LT for trusting me to capture this moment in time for you!  Yes,  he smiles! 🤗

    Self portraits are hard. Expressions you think lo Self portraits are hard.  Expressions you think look good on you sometimes don’t!  I love portraits with no smile.  On me?  I look mean. 🙃
Note to me.... work on that expressionless face! 
Happy Monday y’all!!! 💕💕😎

    #whimsy4life is a thing. For me it’s personal, i #whimsy4life is a thing. For me it’s personal, it’s my business lifeline and means so much.  It represents my clients who continue to come back to me for those times that mean the most!  Not a selfie moment, not dad with a camera (no offense Herb) but trusting me to capture those special times for eternity!
I captured him when he graduated from kindergarten and mom called me when he was ready to graduate from high school.  It was my honor and pleasure.  THIS I do not take for granted or feel it is guaranteed.  My clients are #whimsy4lifers because of my passion for what I create, love for that creativity, mutual love, ultimate friendships and respect!
Congratulations Tripp! It was awesome watching you take care of your horse and ride!  I have no doubt you’ll be a great veterinarian! 
@angelas_eyes & @mufasa1906  thanks for being a part of my #whimsy4life family and trusting me to capture your #uncommonequestrian 💕💕😎
