Cherish & Darryl {A Summer Wedding}
I typically don't write an abundance of words throughout blog posts, but I think this one calls for a few more than usual. I met Cherish & Darryl back in the fall for their engagement photos and knew even then that their relationship was special. They respected each other, laughed together, and were just excited to begin their life as husband and wife. Just a few weeks before their wedding, Cherish suffered a stroke. Through many prayers, much encouragement, hard work, and a positive attitude, not only did the wedding still commence, but Cherish WALKED down the aisle toward her beloved...and her beloved is absolutely what he is. It's very evident that Darryl adores Cherish. The joy she exudes is contagious, and her grateful spirit was felt the entire day.
Cherish and Darryl, I think I speak for everyone in saying that we're thrilled that we were able to spend the day with you two and witness the faith-filled love that you share!
The weather forecast predicted a storm to happen right around the time of the scheduled ceremony, so we got started a bit early in hopes of avoiding it. Everyone stayed dry, and the rain held off just until the time the reception was about to begin...another miracle for which we were all grateful.
Beautiful details at the reception...
Congratulations, Cherish & Darryl! So happy for you!
Marci & J.C. {A Spring Wedding}
Marci & J.C. had a beautiful church wedding in Oakland, MD this Spring! Barely a second went by that Marci didn't have a big smile on her face...so much happiness on their wedding day!
After some photos with the bridesmaids and groomsmen, it was time for the ceremony to begin...
We headed to downtown Oakland after the ceremony for some photos at the train station!
Congratulations, guys! Thanks for including me in your big day!

Sara & Mike {A Spring Wedding}
It was such a gorgeous day for Sara & Mike's wedding! I went to school with Sara and always thought of her as my little buddy. She was entering high school when I was a senior, and between playing sports together, driving her home from practices, and participating in various high school functions, we became great friends. Since those days, she moved away, met her sweetheart, and became a lawyer! Needless to say, it was so wonderful to catch up again, and I wish her and Mike all the best as they start their new life together!
Mike & Sara chose to do a "modified" first look where they shared a moment together holding hands and reading letters that they had written to each other - all without laying eyes on the other before they met at the altar.
And the ceremony began...
After we finished taking photos outside of the country club, we headed inside for the start of the reception!
Congratulations, Sara & Mike! What a beautiful day!
Ashley & Brandon {A Spring Wedding}

Congratulations, Ashley & Brandon! What a wonderful day!
