This love story started over 43 years ago as high school sweethearts. They went their separate ways back then but reunited two years ago. Here they are, reminiscing about those times as if it were just the past year. They really couldn’t take their eyes off each other!

Tom has been a professional guitarist as a side line for years and played at many weddings. Now his good friends and colleagues can play for his own wedding. During their ceremony, he performed an original song dedicated to their wedding.

Excitement was high in Erin’s Bridal Suite at the Tremont Hotel and all of her plans  were coming together nicely. One of the many details included this box containing their wedding rings. Just before their exchange of vows, this box would be passed among their guests as a “ring warming” ceremony.

Brad with his Best Man and brother shared a serious moment while waiting. He and all his groomsmen tried to be serious but this didn’t last long!

Chase Court is a wonderful venue for an intimate Elopement wedding ceremony. Couples always seem to add some special touches like the signs carried by the girls!

Great day for an engagement shoot! We will be covering Bryn and Jerry’s wedding next year and they had never had a “real” photo session. They had a great time, learned a lot, and have gained confidence for their big day!

These photos were taken at the Hampton Mansion, a historic Georgian mansion built as a country seat just after the Revolutionary War by a prominent Maryland family.  The architecture and gardens are a photographers dream!
