Simply put, this couple is awesome. I immediately liked Meghan when we first spoke on the phone because she was matter of fact and knew what she wanted. Plus, she is a huge football fan and she is really appreciative of her fabulous girlfriends, so I knew she was cool. I found out that Dave is just as fabulous when he busted out Soulja Boy choreography at the reception - for the entire song. I loved it! Oh that AND he wrote a wonderful poem for Meghan that was read aloud during the ceremony. That was pretty awesome too. :)
There were so many things to love about this wedding!!! But in addition to the dance moves, the poem, the great flowers (gorgeous work by Crimson and Clover), and the cool couple, their reception was held at RAVENS STADIUM! It was one of the coolest feelings to walk out on to the field of an empty NFL stadium, and I’m pretty sure I’ll remember it forever. Thanks, Meg and Dave for asking me to photograph your wedding. I loved it!
Meghan is SO beautiful!:
We were all pretty excited once we got on to the football field... :)
These ladies were THE best:
This reception was a hard core dance party. It. Was. Awesome.
Meet Meghan's Dad. He is a dancefloor rockstar:
I couldn't decide which of the next three was my favorite, so I just included them all:
It was tempting to use Soulja Boy Tell’em’s “Crank That” for the slide show below, but I opted for something a little more romantic - Meg & Dave’s first dance song, “This Year’s Love” by David Gray. :)

It was evident when the toasts began at Julie & Devin’s rehearsal dinner that these two people are overflowing with love and gratitude. They showed so much love and appreciation for their family members and friends that it was obvious to me that they are two big-hearted, special individuals. It was a joy to photograph their rehearsal and wedding day and be a witness to all the joy that took place that weekend. Julie & Devin were married at the awe-inspiring Chapel at the United States Naval Academy, Devin’s alma mater. The beautiful Coptic marriage ceremony was followed by a sword arch on the chapel steps, “welcoming” Julie in to the Navy, and the party took place at Celebrations at the Bay.
I loved this wedding because Julie and Devin are both emotional and expressive, with beautiful smiles (and I don’t think that’s just because they’re both dentists!). Their details were beautiful, especially Julie’s “wave” dress, their bold flowers, and their beachy reception decor. There was also lots of wonderful music, which begin during the ceremony and continued in to the reception, when Brian performed a song he and Devin had written for Julie. Thank you, Devin & Julie, for hiring me as your photographer. It was great to be a part of your wedding weekend! Thank you also to Claire Macallum, the USNA Chapel Coordinator, who was extremely helpful and patient with me. And, finally, a BIG hug and thank you to Artemas Mott who rocked it as my second shooter!
