Modern Weddings

When I think of a modern wedding, I think of clean and simplistic decor. It however doesn't mean it can't be glamorous and beautiful.

 Here are some inspirational photos to help you as you start planning your special day.

Creative Bridal Showers

Besides the actual wedding day, many brides look forward to their bridal shower. It's a great opportunity to take a break from planning and just relax with the special women in your life. Many brides are foregoing the typical brunch and becoming more creative with how they spend the day. 

Here are a a few ideas:


For the adventurous bride, there is stand up paddle boarding, kayaking, nature hike or even a camping trip. Rent a cabin, roast smores and drink wine!




Schedule a wine tasting and food pairing event at a vineyard. 



Have a Spa themed Bridal Shower. Bring in a makeup artist, masseuse as well as manicures.

Choosing The Right Mansion for You

 Many brides envision their special day at a mansion. With beautiful staircases, gorgeous scenery and amazing photo opportunities, a mansion wedding can make any woman feel like a princess. As Marylanders, we are lucky to have many options, from the ocean to the mountains, the choices are endless.

 So how do you choose? First, the time of year will play an important roll. If your wedding will take place during the summer, you want to make sure the mansion you choose is air conditioned to ensure the comfort of not only you and your fiance, but your guests as well. On the contrary, if your wedding takes place during the cooler months, ensure heat is an option.

Another thing to consider is location. Would you like a mansion closer to the water? Or do you want a more rural setting? Secluded or in a more accessible area? After deciding on those factors, keeping in mind travel for guests is a good way to go.

You should also ask the venue whether they have an on site caterer. Do they offer tables, chairs, and linens? If not these will be things you will have to rent and have brought in.

Real Wedding-Caitlin & Jody


21 Sep 2015

 Caitlin & Jody – Cannot Slip Free



The chicken falls in love with a buzzin’ bumble bee. Now that’s an unexpected match made in Halloween heaven.

A Happy Caitlin During Bride Prep    Jody Preps for the Ceremony

More than four years after a Halloween party brought two brilliant minded people together, Jody popped the question on Cumberland Island – an island inhabited by wild horses…and snakes. Which leads us to the big day that we were more than humbled to capture for the wonderful pair.

Meet Jody, a mix of geographically & programmatically mad genius – and Caitlin, a delightful and sweet woman whose hobbies include teaching Sunday school and has an admirable knowledge of Disney movies.

This was an incredibly gorgeous wedding that took place on Jody’s family Vineyard – The Vineyard at Thornton. The bouquets and floral decor were made up solely of gypsophila – a simplistically elegant choice.  The couple delivered their intellectual and deeply romantic, custom vows in a lovely ceremony on the vineyard. You will swoon at the vows that Jody delivers to Caitlin. Poetic, vibrant, and beautiful. He sounds like a novelist reading to his muse. And the utter bliss that exudes from her face and adorable smile as he reads them to her will melt your heart. Swooon.

The couple wanted to give each other something before the wedding – but they wanted to do so in a way where they could interact without actually seeing each other. Caitlin wanted the first time Jody saw her to be when she was walking down the aisle – no exceptions. She wanted it to be the most special it could be. So, we brainstormed and came up with the idea of a door divider. Caitlin hid behind a half opened door, and we directed Jody to come in only so far so that their hands could touch and they could exchange their cards. It made for a beautiful shot and only exemplified the anticipation of saying “I do.” It is honestly one of the sweetest things that I have ever witnessed.

And wait until you see the shot of their first kiss. Stunning.Caitlin & Jody found us through their sister and brother-in-law. They had attended a wedding that we filmed a while back – Lauren & Kristian’s. They loved how we embody the day for both the bride & groom. We were totally flattered and ecstatic to capture their wedding, too! Their story is definitely worth a listen.
