A Winter Wedding at The Star Barn | Shannon + Thomas | 1.23.21
To be one of 30 to witness a marriage…to be one of the few there…it takes the gratefulness up to a new level of heartwarming.
Moving into 2021 with a Plan
There’s a lot of talk going around right now. A lot of uncertainty in the air. It feels heavy. It feels a little scary even. The unknown. It has been a stressful year…a sad one too. I have four kids and they miss their grandparents. They miss their friends. I miss dropping the little ones off with my parents to run to the grocery store for a quiet, thoughtful trip. I miss stopping in at their house and tearing up their living room and the last-minute invites to dinner together in the kitchen I grew up eating in. I miss not breathing through a mask. I miss greeting my clients with a ginormous hug of excitement. I miss having a generous reschedule policy. I miss gathering. I miss community in person. I miss offering free events. I miss packed restaurants chattering with life.
A Cathedral Wedding Ceremony Followed by a Fall Reception at Historic Ashland | Abigail + Walter 10.17.20
“You can’t make this stuff up people!” A recurring statement from Abigail throughout their Historic Ashland wedding day and the days, weeks and months preceding the day. Abbie posted jokingly on her pages the day before the wedding that the theme of this wedding had been, “Come hell or high water.” It couldn’t have been more fitting.

A Fall Backyard Wedding - New Jersey Style | Kristin + Nicholas 9.26.20
My reaction pulling into the driveway for this backyard, New Jersey wedding reminded me of my husband seeing our wedding venue to the first time:
A Backyard, Micro-Wedding COVID – Style in Perryville, MD | Lauren + Brandon
It was a wrap. I three hours of coverage for Lauren and Brandon’s immediate family, micro-wedding at Brandon’s family home in Perryville, Maryland. Everything went superbly. A few detail photos, then my favorite part…they helped each other get ready (it was the sweetest thing I had never photographed before!), ceremony, husband and wife photos and a quick cake cutting and that was it! I was packing up my bag and heard Brandon’s mom, Julie, call from the kitchen, “Megan! We need you outside for one more photo!”
After All These Years - A Touching Blue and Purple Wedding at The Barn at Stoneybrooke | Alyssa + Jonathan 8.30.20
He stood stone still holding his breath. The laughter and sweetness of watching the bridesmaids and his daughter come down the aisle were over. Now Jon waited. He waited for the girl he teased on the bus as children. He waited for the girl he dreamed about in High School. He waited for the girl who saved his life emotionally after time in the service. He waited for the girl who helped raise his daughter from a very young age. He waited for his light in the dark.
