Cathy and Dan are married!

We had loads of fun shooting this wedding.  Our day started at the house of Cathy's parents where she was getting ready.  The house was a buzz as the bride, six bride’s maids, four flower girls, Cathy's parents, and a host of others involved in the preparation, frantically readied themselves for the big day.  After capturing candid shots of the prep work, we moved outside to capture several formal images of Cathy grouped together with the others.  

Our time with the Cathy was finished quickly as the limo arrived to pick her up.  We quickly drove about a mile over to where Dan and his groomsman were getting ready.  Taking a few quick group pics of them, we were again on the road to the wedding location at Kurtz‘s Beach…arriving at about the same time as the bride’s limo.

 Although it was threatening rain most of the day, the bulk of the rain held off until the ceremony was over.   Throughout the ceremony a slight mist was falling…or maybe it was just tearing eyes over the beautiful ceremony.  Kanda Studios managed to get some recognition near the end of the ceremony.  Before the pastor announced to Dan, “you may kiss the bride,” he reminded them that the photographers wanted them to hold the kiss for the pictures.  Happy to oblige, Cathy and Dan locked into a long kiss, giving us plenty of time to get the shot.

We really enjoyed being a part of this wedding day, and we wish the best for Cathy and Don as they start a new life together. Enjoy a small sample of the many photos taken that day.

Congratulations guys!

Senior Portraits- Jeremiah

Below are a few of the images from a recent senior portrait session of Jeremiah at his home. I don’t think many guys in high school love having their photo taken, but Jeremiah was a real trooper and he did a great job following our direction. His pictures came out great, and we loved that he wanted to use his car in a few of the shots.

We even let his girlfriend join in a few of the shots.

Jeremiah, congratulations on your upcoming graduation this week!

Kathleen & Zach are Engaged!

On Saturday we met with Kathleen and Zach at the local tire playground in Catonsville to start their engagement session. During their session we had a little boy following us around asking questions and teasing the couple during the kissing shots. As the session went on the crowd of children grew to around ten. Before we left this location, we took a few pictures of Kathleen and Zach on the tire swing, incorporating the children into the background

We then headed to Baltimore City. Zach proposed to Kathleen at an Oriole's game recently, so we took a few shots outside of Camden Yards before the sun set.

 

Afterwards, we took some night shots by the train station, at the Inner Harbor and then ended the night

at the carousel.

Kathleen and Zach, we look forward to your wedding this December! Congratulations again on your engagement. We hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

Stephanie & Anthony are Married!

 

Stephanie and Anthony were married two weeks ago at Grace Episcopal Church off Main Street in Elkridge. This location, just from the castle like exterior, has always been on our list of Churches where we wanted to photograph a wedding. The inside did not disappoint either. It was gorgeous with lots of dark wood details and beautiful stained glass windows. We could have taken creative shots there all day. 

 

 

Stephanie and Anthony had a lovely afternoon wedding with a cocktail reception to follow. Guests drank Champagne, and enjoyed hors d'oeuvres including some delicious chocolate covered fruit, while congratulating the newly married couple.

Everything pulled together for a beautiful day. Stephanie's color palette for her Bridesmaids, of clover mixed with watermelon, made for a fun look and certainly brightened all the photos. 

 

 

Stephanie and Anthony are a super sweet couple and we thoroughly enjoyed sharing their wedding day with them!

Feel free to leave well wishes for the newlyweds and you can tag images on our studio's Facebook page too. You can also check out their engagement pictures if you missed those last winter. Congrats to such a wonderful couple!

Here are some of the great vendors who helped made their day a success!

Jen & Mike +1

Jen and Mike are about to welcome a little baby girl into their family in about a month. The name of their baby girl has been kept under wraps from everyone, including their parents! Can you imagine our excitement when they decided to let us in on their secret, in order to get some pictures of her name in baby blocks?

As adorable as the images are, we will not be posting them until after the baby is born. So, if you are a family member hoping to get some hints, you will not find any here!

Jen and Mike, we are thrilled for you both and can't wait to meet her.  Here is a sneak peek of some of our favorite images from your maternity session.  We had such a great time with you both, even though it ended up being a gloomy and slightly rainy day.

Kieran is 1!

Kieran has officially come to the end of his "Babies First Year" package, which means he just turned one! We loved photographing him this year and seeing him grow. Kieran's Mother decided she wanted to do the traditional cake shots as well as a few "clean" ones. Since we just had some major snow that was still in the process of melting, we opted to meet at their beautiful home for his session. 

Here are a few of our favorites:

A Gift for Mom

Leigh Anne contacted us about doing a photo session with her husband Justyn, and his sister Eryca, as a Christmas gift for their Mother. Chris is in the military in North Carolina, but they planned to be in town for Christmas. So, last Thursday we met all of them in the historic town of Sykesville, for their session. We had a great time with this family playing on the tracks, and at a near by river in the woods. Since we were trying to get a variety of group shots, we had so many great images to pick from! Here are just a FEW of our favorites!

Stephanie & Anthony are Engaged!

Last Saturday we did an engagement session with Stephanie and Anthony in Baltimore. Its hard to tell in the pictures, but it was freezing and extremely windy that afternoon. Between locations they were both throwing on heavy coats and scarves to keep warm. Because of the weather, a few of the ideas we wanted to try, we ended up having to pass on. Stephanie told us that her and Anthony dance everywhere they go, and we can see why. They are both so in love and it really shows. 

Here are just a few of our favorites from the session.

Also, Anthony is in a local band called Rosabella. So, if you are interested in Rock music, you should check them out! We are hoping that after the wedding we can meet up with them to do a band session as well!

Stacie & Cricket

Meet Stacie and Cricket!

I met with them at Rockburn Park this morning to take some portraits for their Christmas card. We were only out there about a half hour actually taking the pictures and braved some seriously cold winds. I am still thawing out as I type this. I almost feel bad complaining, because Stacie did it in a thin sweater and walked the park in high heals. A serious pro!

Here are a few of my favorites!
