  • Helping love win – one wedding at a time.

    We are Andrea & Renata, a pair of best friends who strive to create fresh images and fun experiences for the people who invite us into their stories. We've been friends since our freshman year of high school and, even though we probably look like we're 18, our friendship has grown through high school, different colleges, 2 weddings, 4 babies collectively and 3 years in business together.

    I'm Andrea, the main blogger, life sharer, and laughter lover. Renata is the detail shooter, prayer, and sanity keeper. We shoot every wedding and session together and wouldn't have it any other way.

    Over the past 3 years, we have come to realize that our first love is not photography. It's love. The reason we throw ourselves into our work is because photography allows us to communicate love tangibly. Through our pictures, we strive to share love and tell its story. We are the people who believe that love can actually change the world. We have committed our lives to love. We want to tell people about it. Photography enables us to do so.

    Feel free to use the blog below and menu bar above and to the left to find out more about us, see our work and say hello! Thanks for joining us in this little adventure we are so blessed to be on.

Nikki & Brandon : Downtown Annapolis Wedding

They met at a conference in college. Brandon caught Nikki’s eye and, like any smart girl would do, she hunted down some information about him. When she found out he attended the University of Maryland, she donned a UMD sweatshirt the very next day, hoping he might notice her. And he did. And the rest is, well, history.

When we shoot weddings like Nikki & Brandon’s, we come home recognizing how ridiculously great our job is. From start to finish, we thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with the new married couple and their families.

You can see more of their wedding by clicking here for the slideshow!

Some details: Nikki’s shoes and a piece of her grandmother’s wedding dress pinned to her skirt.

The florals by Little House of Flowers were gorgeous!

Nikki, you are stunning!

Nikki & Brandon chose to do First Glance, love love love!

Since they saw each other before the ceremony, we had a huge amount of time to take pictures all around downtown Annapolis!

Love these:

I’ll say what everyone is thinking: you guys will have some beautiful babies.

I had to post this – Nikki, you look FIERCE, girl!

Fun on the trolley!

Bridal party, we love you, not just for standing in the frigid cold, but for being so fun!

The Annapolis Waterfront Marriott looked stunning. Ethan of Events by Ethan was wonderful to work with and outdid himself!

Photobooths are always fun:

Nikki & Brandon, you guys just don’t know how wonderful you were to work with. Thanks for inviting us to your wedding, it was an honor! All our best to you!

kaley - you guys! maybe i should get married again and have a navy blue and pink annapolitan wedding.

Tara - gah! LOVE. THESE.

Katie & Jeff : Clarendon Engagement

Katie & Jeff requested that their engagement session take place where they met and fell in love, Clarendon! We had such a great time walking the streets and shooting these two!

Beauty:

One of their faves, Faccia Luna:

At the Continental Modern Pool Lounge, where they had their first date. So fun to shoot in!

And I have to end with this one; it got a little windy, but we still had fun!

Katie & Jeff, you two are just a pleasure to be around! We had such a great time with you!

milsztof - Beautiful couple and fantastic shots. I like negative space at CMPL.

Our newest addition…

Sorry we’ve been MIA lately! I’ve been a little busy with this little darling, who came 10 days early! Meet Rowen Maria:

Thanks for bearing with us as we adjust!

kaley - She’s a tiny little miracle! I just want to smell her! You other moms know what I’m talking about… babies smell yummy!

Tara Peddicord - ahhh! she’s so cute! I can’t stand it! :)

Monica & Kaveh : Washington, DC Engagement

They met when Kaveh sold Monica a new car…and, like a gentlemen, waited a few days before calling and asking her out. They’re getting married this year in a very DC wedding, so we headed to the Tidal Basin for their engagement session.

Even though the cherry blossoms around the basin are gone, we found some rogue blooms nearby!

You are both gorgeous people.

Monica & Kaveh, we can’t wait to take DC by storm at your wedding! Thanks for a great session!

Pary - Beautiful pictures of two beautiful people. You two look so happy together.
Love, Pary

Heather - You guys are so gorgeous!!!!! Love you! Congrats…..

Toni - “They” say there is no such thing as a perfect love, but you two beat the odds and found it anyway. Your happiness is shining through your beautiful faces like the sun is shining through the trees.

Dad - DC monuments and blossoms made great backdrops but nothing compared to your smiles!

Katie - beautimous session! I love how you refer to them as rogue blooms haha!

Alex & Steve : Gramercy Mansion Wedding

Nothing is better than a beautiful wedding on a beautiful day for a beautiful couple. Alex and Steve are wonderfully in love and fit together so well! It was a pleasure to shoot their wedding day. We started at the church with Alex’s gorgeous Maggie Soterro gown:

LOVELY.

Alex & Steve opted to do First Glance, which we just love!

Checking out the dress, full circle:

Right before walking down the aisle:

Married!

Fun bridal party!

Alex, you are ridiculously gorgeous.

Gramercy Mansion was perfectly lovely, thanks to Jennifer from Sky Blue Events and her team!

And we’ll end with a picture from the last dance – group hug!

Alex & Steve, you two are so fun and we were truly honored to be included in your special day. All our best!

Michelle Grier - Beautiful photos!! Alex, the camera loves you!

Marilyn Adkins - What a perfect day and we all had so much fun. The pictures are beautiful and we hardly knew the photographers were at the reception.
I love these pics.

Katie - GORGEOUS! Such an awesome couple and beautiful photos as usual! :D
