Earlier today, Cara and I headed to the Judge Morris Estate located in Newark, DE to shoot her Rock the Dress session. The Judge Morris Estate happened to be where Cara, and her now husband, Dan were married on 6-5-2010. First let me tell you, it is an absolutely gorgeous estate. It has lots of wide open green field, with some stone walls, and a gorgeous house. For weddings, you can rent the house and… Continue

Today was my first Rock the Dress session of the summer. Let me say, that it was a blast to shoot, and I can't wait to do more! I have two more scheduled for this week, and I am really looking forward to them!



Alison's dress was absolutely beautiful. A vintage ivory lace dress, accented with an off white hat, and an orchid hair clip that Alison made herself. The whole ensemble was gorgeous. And if you know me, you know I love anything vintage. The weather was just perfect, the sun… Continue

This Saturday, Tiffany and Kevin tied the knot at a gorgeous estate located in Elkton, Maryland. When I woke up that morning, and saw that it was raining, I was mortified!

And it was truly my pleasure to capture their amazing day. Here are… Continue
