Mike + Darcy :: MARRIED! [Delaware Wedding Photographer]

I’ve been sneaking away anytime I’ve gotten a chance today to finish up this blog post (mostly when Molly & CJ were entranced by Sesame Street).  I just had so many images that I liked, I was having a hard time narrowing down which ones I wanted to post!

Mike and Darcy’s wedding was hot.  HOT.  As in, my-make-up-sweated-off-and-ran-into-my-eyes-and-burned-them hot.  And did I mention, it was all outdoors?  But you know what?  I don’t think I saw either of them sweat all day.  Seriously.  I don’t know how they did it, but I think it may have had sometime to do with how in love they are.  They simply adore each other and it’s obvious the very second you meet them.

Darcy’s dress was perfect for her garden ceremony at Brookside Botanical Gardens in Silver Spring, MD.

This is my second wedding in a row where the bride and groom decided to see each other before the ceremony.  I love when couples do this — it adds a whole extra special part of the day.

We found the most awesome tree!

I totally cried when Mike started crying.  It was such a beautiful ceremony.

There were so many amazing details.  I had so much fun capturing all the little touches.

Mine

We had a pretty low-key Memorial Day Weekend which was so nice and relaxing (even if it did mean I had to cook since we weren’t invited to any bbqs).  We’ve scrubbed the baby pools and broken them in for the summer.

CJ is pulling up on everything now.

Molly is getting braver each day with her balance bike that we got her for her 2nd birthday last September.  I love, love LOVE the idea of it, but she’s just still too short to really get it going.

We also went strawberry picking a few weeks ago.  Molly was in heaven and her basket was as empty at the end of the trip as it was in the beginning.  CJ, however, was not happy to be confined to the stroller the whole time.

[Delaware maternity and baby photographer] Glowing Mama-to-be

I met up with an old friend of mine the other night to take some belly shots. This little dude she’s got growing in there is one lucky guy to have such great parents — there is going to be a whole ‘lotta love and laughter in their house.

Anyone who knows Lana knows that she likes to laugh.  And she does it well.

We really wanted to get some sunset shots, so I hopped in their car and we drove all around, looking for the perfect spot.  Once we found it, we just hung out and chatted until the sun was perfect.

Congratulations you guys!  Can’t wait to meet the little guy! 🙂

Amy Lloyd - Great photos! You really captured Lana’s beauty. I love all of them!

[Delaware Wedding Photographer] Caitlynn & Robbie are MARRIED!

The rain held off (thanks to Caitlynn’s guardian angel) and it ended up being a PERFECT day!  Ceremony was held at Pell Gardens in Chesapeake City, MD and the reception was at the Chesapeake Inn.

Add some homemade chocolate chip cookies and you’ve got yourself quite a snack!

Caitlynn was such a dedicated bride, she even okay’d a hair trim just to get her hair style perfect.

Robbie and Caitlynn opted to see each other before the ceremony which worked out great!  We had so much time for pictures.  Plus, it’s just so fun to set up the ‘first look’.

There’s a whole lotta love in this picture.

Congratulations guys!  Have a great time on your honeymoon 🙂

[Delaware Beach Photographer] The M Family

I headed down to the beach Saturday evening to meet up with this super cute family just before sunset.  Little Miss E will be two soon and she absolutely adorable (and smart as a whip)!

I love the ponytail shadow.
