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!?

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.

On Sunday we were able to sneak in another DC engagement session or two with the amazing weather. We met Kasey and Brad in Georgetown in Washington, DC where they both currently work. Both are actually from California where they plan to tie the knot in Santa Barbara! Having visited beautiful Santa Barbara, which you can see here, we know their wedding is going to be nothing short of spectacular.

We had such a great time with Bethany & Paul in Old Town Alexandria for their engagement session over the weekend. It was fairly cold on Sunday but it didn’t stop this couple from having a great time. We started at the water, right at the bench where Paul proposed overlooking the Woodrow Wilson Bridge. We made our way down to the Wilkes Street Tunnel which is an awesome place for photos. We can’t wait to return to Alexandria for their wedding next year at the George Washington Masonic National Memorial.

The Glasgow Farm is an early 1900’s barn and farmhouse in Fredericksburg, VA. The farmhouse next to the barn is beautiful inside with a vintage feel. The floors still creak! Little did we know that a category 4 hurricane Joaquin rolled through for the weekend. The wedding couldn’t have gone any better. The wedding ceremony and reception were in the rustic barn under cover.
