WELCOME to the BAKERTURE BLOG

Westfields Golf Club is a beautiful venue in Clifton, VA. It is a stunning golf course which sits behind an amazing lake and hosts a gorgeous club house. The club house has beautiful windows across its entire back wall gracefully letting the golden hour light shine through. A phenomenal place for a wedding.

Rita and I had such a great time at our first ever bridal show. It was a little overwhelming at first interacting with hundreds of brides but once we got into the groove of how things work it was a lot of fun! We look forward to getting to work with some of the couples we met (fingers crossed). A big thanks to Kelly & Randy Baker and Sam Pierce for all of their help and hard work behind the scenes and helping us bring this thing to life! It turned out better then we ever could have imagined.

Strong Mansion is a beautiful historic estate located in Dickerson, MD (close to Frederick, MD). The mansion is situated at the rear of the estate and is fairy tale like. You would never know such a beautiful place exists until you travel through the forest to beautiful gardens and lilly ponds. The inside is just as incredible with an enormous ballroom.

Glen Ellen Farm is a beautiful historic estate located in Ijamsville, MD (close to Frederick, MD). The farmhouse located on the estate is rustic yet elegant. There is a beautiful pond as a backdrop for the ceremony, an amazing trellace structure for cocktail hour and the farmhouse itself is picture perfect.

Baker Brewing Day

For our wedding, Rita decided it would be a good idea to have a signature drink.  So Steve came up with the genius idea of having a signature beer.  And what is a signature beer if you don’t make it yourself!?

So you want to bring your pooch to your engagement session…

Great! We love dogs and would love to have your furry friend join us for your engagement session. Here are a few guidelines to ensure your engagement session goes smoothly.

We met Kelly and Arthur at Cunningham Falls in Thurmont, MD for their engagement session. To start we hiked through the trails that lead to the falls. It isn’t a very long hike but there are some hills to tackle. All along the way we stopped at various points to grab some shots of the couple and the falls, rock structures and various streams. We had such a great time on this adventure engagement session. After we finished our hike we finished up with a sunset beach session by the lake. It was the perfect location with a mix of all types of back drops. Kelly and Arthur are getting married in Punta Cana and we wish them all the best!

We had such a great time with Leah and Will at Dumbarton Oaks in Georgetown for their spring engagement session over the weekend. The weather was perfect on this beautiful spring day in DC. Leah and Will are both dental students at Howard University and are getting married this July in Florida. They were an amazing couple with beautiful smiles and love for one another. They even brought their k9 friends to wrap up the shoot at Howard University.

We met Saba and Nick at sunrise in Old Town Alexandria at the George Mason Temple. Saba and Nick were full of great energy and were nothing but smiles all morning even though it was freezing!! We strolled thru the old cobble stone streets of Old Town and ended up at the pier by the water. It was such a great time spending the morning meeting new friends and capturing their love. Saba and Nick will be getting married back home in Los Angeles this summer.
