noey + peter | a cheerful spring wedding for two loyola greyhounds

Since 1852, Loyola University has been a Baltimore institution. It’s also where these two gorgeous Loyola grads met, so it only made sense that they sealed the deal on the very same campus where they fell in love!

When I first met Noey + Peter for their engagement photos in their Locust Point neighborhood, I knew that capturing their love for each other and the gorgeous city of Baltimore was going to be easy. As soon as you see their faces light up, you can feel the love these two have for each other, the school that introduced them, and the city where they combined their lives!

Noey + Peter got married in mid-April at the historic Loyola University Alumni Memorial Chapel. After the ceremony, we walked across campus to take portraits at all of their favorite spots, before heading over to the Mt. Washington Mill Dye House to dance the night away and celebrate this happy, sweet, and loving couple. It was the perfect Baltimore wedding for the perfect Baltimore couple!

12 Memorable Moments and details from Noey + Peter’s spring Wedding in baltimore:

  1. Spring can be a bit unpredictable when it comes to weather and Noey + Peter’s big day was no different. Luckily, the rain held off whenever we needed to go outside and the threatening clouds in the sky really made the bright blooms and greenery around Baltimore feel soft, yet vibrant. It was the perfect spring metaphor!

  2. Spoiler alert: I always carry clear umbrellas with me so we don’t have to let a little rain stop us from getting great shots in natural light. Great minds think alike because Noey had some, too! Between my stash and hers, we were super prepared for anything. That’s probably why the weather held off for us the way that it did!

3. Noey’s off-the-shoulder gown looked like it was made just for her. It was delicate and sweet yet warm and sparkly in the light – just like the bride!

4. Noey’s bridesmaids wore floor-length gowns in varying shades of soft pastels in pinks, greens, and blues. Their look was tied together with beautiful bouquets in pops of fun color from Violet Floral Designs. The entire wedding party vibe had a soft and romantic look but still modern and spring-like, especially against the soft pink and greens blooming throughout the campus!

5. Watching Noey’s father walk her down the aisle was so emotional! The priest’s introduction shared all of the big milestones Noey + Peter had hit together – meeting as seniors in college, graduating, doing long-distance, moving back to Baltimore, buying a house and becoming pup parents to Sasha - it was such a sweet ode to their journey together.

6. Noey and Peter really wanted to depart the church with a bubble exit so we worked to make it happen! It was a fun and energetic way to move from the ceremony to the reception. (It also made for some really adorable candid photos!)

7. After the ceremony, we took family, wedding party, and couple’s portraits around Loyola’s picturesque campus. Between the blooming cherry blossoms, the magnolia trees, and the tudor-style Humanities building, it was the perfect backdrop for this fun-loving couple that wanted to prioritize and represent their Loyola love story!

8. Their reception was held at the Mt. Washington Mill Dye House and one of my favorite details was how Noey + Peter took advantage of the lobby at the venue. For most weddings I’ve seen here, this is unused space, but they designed a fun lounge that looked like something out of a World Market catalog with a gorgeous floral arrangement and gold mirrored hand-written seating chart (by the bride!) across the way. Many guests could be found enjoying this space, relaxing and catching up with old friends.

9. Noey + Peter couldn’t let the night go by without their Corgi pup, Sasha! Their wedding cake featured a little Sasha figurine and if you know me, you know I love a good #urbanrowpup representation! It was the perfect addition to their adorable two-tiered cake.

10. Noey wore white-beaded Badgley Mischka bridal heels but also brought along white Nike Air Max sneakers as part of an inside joke between her and Peter… a testament to the fun and down-to-earth love they share!

11. Towards the end of the reception, Noey changed into a short, sequined white dress — paired with her Nike Air Max sneakers, she was ready to party the night away with her friends and brand-new hubby!

12. Ending the night with a Loyola photo on the dance floor was a must with this energetic and fun group of Baltimore friends… love me a good college flag moment!

Noey + Peter, your energy and love for each other is palpable. The way you look at each other is the type of love every couple dreams of! Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of your love story!

It was an absolute honor to document your wedding and hope that you’ll cherish these images for years to come. I wish you nothing but the best and can’t wait to see what the future holds for you!

allyson + matt | an elegant spring wedding at the assembly room

It was a beautiful spring day for Allyson and Matt’s wedding at the Assembly Room in downtown Baltimore — the sun was shining, there was a slight breeze along the water for their first look and most importantly, all of their families and friends were overflowing with love and joy as they watched these cuties officially become husband and wife!

6 UNIQUE DETAILS FROM A+M’S ELEGANT, INDUSTRIAL WEDDING AT THE ASSEMBLY ROOM

  1. Allyson’s classic plunging v-neck ballgown had pockets (!!!) and the most gorgeous train and lace back detail

  2. Matt’s reaction to seeing Allyson for the first time… he just kept saying “wow…” it was the actual sweetest.

  3. During their ceremony, Allyson’s bridesmaid read a poem that was personalized for them and so incredibly cute!

  4. They used Allyson’s parents wedding cake topper for theirs - it was perfect.

  5. The most dramatic and fun light pouring through the Assembly Room skylights during their portraits.

  6. Allyson’s aunts and uncles had a blast on the dance floor and you can easily tell who came to party!

The view from and vibe in their getting ready suites at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront was amazing; so calm, confident and ready to do this wedding thing! Allyson’s dress and Matt’s tux were so classically elegant — I could not get enough of those dress pockets!!!

When it came time for their first look on the promenade, the sun was shining, their families were cheering them on and Allyson’s veil couldn’t wait for it’s time to shine. Having an intimate wedding party of 2 on each side meant we could get creative with portraits by the water and stay ahead of schedule all day long… not to mention, having fun while taking them!

Congratulations, Allyson & Matt!! We were incredibly honored to be a part of your wedding memories and hope you continue dancing in the streets for decades to come! Thanks for being so willing to trust us and go along with all our crazy ideas, you two (and your families) are truly the best!

sneak peeks | erin + greg's spring accelerator space wedding in baltimore

Erin + Greg’s love for each other is so effortless and genuine. They’re the kind of couple that put others at ease whenever you’re in their presence and have a wonderful circle of family and friends that do the same… I knew their wedding day would be incredible because they are so sweet and down to earth!

What I didn’t know was how perfect the weather would be and how wind would be our biggest challenge! Give me spring breezes, a full tulle ballgown and a 20 person bridal party any day… at the Accelerator Space with a couple like this, making magic is easy.

For now, enjoy these sneak peeks and know much more is soon to come!

The new ‘den’ at the Accelerator Space definitely made my heart skip a beat when I saw it setup with a lounge near the fireplace… I was patiently waiting for guests to clear out so we could capture Erin + Greg enjoying a quiet moment to themselves!

While they chose not to see each other before their ceremony at St. Joseph’s Church, this decision was so meaningful because it was the church both Erin and Greg were baptized in (for Greg, it was just last week that he became Catholic!) and Erin grew up attending.

The Accelerator Space is one of our favorite venues that provides an incredible backdrop for photos in all 4 seasons… believe it or not, Erin + Greg’s was the first wedding we captured where the ramp plantings were all green and in bloom!

Having grown up in Baltimore but now living in Ohio, Kimberly knew she wanted her spring wedding to Kyle to take advantage of the iconic backdrop of the inner harbor waterfront… when we found out Light City was planned to start the same night as their wedding at the Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace Hotel, the color lover in me got even more excited to capture their downtown Baltimore wedding!

With a bridal party all in black, white flowers softening the modern look and Kimberly’s details full of rhinestones and tons of sparkle, this downtown wedding was filled with so much charm, color and beautiful moments! Light City, you were so good to us!!

I have to say though, something about a series of classic and timeless black and white images makes my heart so happy…

Their ceremony and reception both had incredible waterfront views and with bright blue skies, sunny breezes and tons of crowds for Light City, we had the best vantage point to take in all of what Charm City offers!
