After spending time with Danielle and Trevor for the engagement photo session in Baltimore, I finally had the honor to photograph their wedding day at Tremont Grand, the historic venue in Baltimore.
Here is one of my favorite shot of the day. I love the action, the moment going on here. 🙂
You will see the actual sequence of the dance below. First, let’s rewind a bit to see what happened at the beginning of the day.
After their engagement session in Baltimore, finally I had the honor to do their wedding photography at Aspen Wye River Conference Center.:)
Let’s see what’s going on at the beginning of the day.
This is part two of Kelsey and Jonnie’s wedding, the reception. If you haven’t seen part 1, please check it out! You can see the getting ready and wedding ceremony photos at The Tidewater Inn.
After Kelsey and Jonnie’s engagement photo session at Chestertown and Washington College, I finally had the honor to document their big day. 🙂

Your wedding was almost as beautiful as the two of you! Just seeing the pictures was like being there again!
I met Jenna and Michael the first time through Jenna’s sister Ashley when I did Ashley and Anthony’s wedding photography at Clifton Inn, Charlottesville, Virginia.
Jenna actually met Michael because of Ashley and Anthony’s relationship. Jenna used to live and work in New Jersey. Then about two years ago she went home to be with her family in Delaware for Christmas. She was then introduced to Anthony’s cousin, Michael. Michael asked her on a date, and their relationship grew each passing day.
Finally, in March 2011, Michael proposed, and Jenna said “Yes”. 🙂
I met Kelly and Chris the first time through Kelly’s sister-in-law, Lisa, who asked me to do their family portrait session at Annapolis. Even though I didn’t get a chance to spend a lot of time with Kelly and Chris during the photography session, from my first impression I could immediately tell that they were a fun and playful couple. 🙂
Kelly and Chris met the first time at college. They were just friends back then. After they graduated, they each went their own separate ways but still kept in touch using MySpace (remember MySpace? 😀 ). Their relationship grew stronger and eventually got together in 2008. They finally got engaged in May 2011 at Hilton Head, South Carolina.
Since Washington College was the place where they met the first time, they wanted to do their engagement photo session there and also at Chestertown, Maryland, where they usually hang out.
After their engagement photo session at Georgetown, Washington, DC, I finally had the honor of photographing Ashlee and Matthew’s wedding at the historic Kitty Knight House, Georgetown, MD.
Here are some more pictures starting from when they were getting ready.
I’ve been getting a lot of engagement photo session of a couple with their dogs lately, and also a couple who are football fans and wanted to use their favorite team’s Jersey. As you will see here, Jennifer is a big fan of the Baltimore Ravens. On the other hand, Mike is a big fan of the Buffalo Bills since he is originally from New York.
So how did they meet? Well Mike met Jenn the first time through his co-worker who was also Jenn’s roommate. After their first meeting, they felt the connection and had been in contact ever since. After dating for about 2.5 years, Jenn and Mike got engaged one week after her sister’s wedding. It was at Alicia and Bobby’s wedding at Rock Hall, MD the first time I met Jennifer and Mike.
Jennifer and Mike wanted to do the pre-wedding photo session in the evening, starting after sunset. It was a challenge for me because I had to use off-camera flashes to provide the light that I wanted, instead of using just the available light.
Here are some of my favorites from that evening.
After the engagement photo session at Annapolis, finally I had the honor of covering the photography for Lisette and Curtis’ wedding. It was not in Maryland though, but it was in New Jersey. Why in New Jersey? Well because that’s where they work and live. 🙂
Here is the newly wed Bride and Groom under the awesome black glass dome of The Grand Marquis at Old Bridge, NJ.
Let’s rewind a bit to see some pictures from the beginning of the day.

Thank you, Arllyn. 🙂
Mike is a book writer and Kimmy is a dolphin trainer. Yes, that dolphin, the mammal that swims in the ocean. 🙂 Kimmy works at the National Aquarium in Baltimore.
I was surprised when Kimmy recognized the dolphin in the profile picture I used on my Facebook. It’s actually a picture of my son looking at a dolphin behind the glass. Kimmy told me the dolphin’s name was Maya. Wow, I’m really impressed! They all looked the same to me. Haha! 😀 Well, apparently not. She told me that each dolphin have their own characteristics. Until today, I am still impressed that Kimmy recognized the dolphin on that small picture. 🙂
Anyway, let’s go back to Mike and Kimmy’s story.
Kimmy and Mike met at Washington College. It was love at first sight for Mike when he saw Kimmy for the first time. It left a lasting impression for Mike. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case for Kimmy. 🙂
One day, Mike’s friend told him that Kimmy was in this play and he was still looking for few more students for the cast. Mike was interested. It would be a chance for him to get close to Kimmy.
Mike’s persistence finally paid off. On New Year’s Eve of Kimmy’s junior year, which was about two years from the first meeting, they officially began their relationship. 🙂
Congratulations, Kelsey and Jonnie! Behind the Veil did a good job on Kelsey’s hair and makeup!
