My Passion

As a young girl I dreamed of being on Broadway.

I planned to move to New York with a girlfriend in my early 20's.

{I got a communications degree and became a high school English teacher instead.}

I met an amazing stage director and musician and fell head over heels.

He asked me to marry him on our second date. I was 26.

We had beautiful babies. Lots and lots of beautiful babies.

My girlfriend asked me, "What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?"

Capture beauty through my lens.

Life is precious. I'm only guarenteed this moment. And I'd rather fail at something I LOVE than succeed at something I could take or leave. Life in a nutshell.

I know who I am. I know whose I am. And His plans for me are far greater than I could ask or imagine.

I. love. life.

Gramercy Mansion. Meghan. Jeremy

10.08.09 at 5:22pm Posted in Weddings

Ceremony: Gramercy Mansion Overlook

Reception: Gramercy Mansion Ballroom

Floral: Blue Sage Floral

Hair: Mindy Whalen Happily Ever After

Meghan and Jeremy’s early autumn wedding at Baltimore’s Gramercy Mansion was an evening of firsts for me.

It was the first time that I had observed a Native American Wedding Ceremony. Very rich in tradition. There was even a portion of the ceremony that we could not shoot.

It was the first time that I’ve been privy to a wedding ring rolling off the pillow on the way down the aisle into the garden . . . and miraculously found by some eagle-eyed ushers!

{yes, we got pics . . . they’re in the slideshow}

It was the first time that I’ve seen Irish dancers perform at a reception. Heart-pounding loud and incredibly powerful.

See for yourself. It was a gorgeous wedding, full of tradition and significance.

{deb edge shot this wedding with me. when she delivers her images to me, it’s like Christmas time . . . full of wonderful surprises.

I am so blessed to have the BEST partners, deb edge and Tim Hinsche.}

Meghan and Jeremy are gentle souls that are really good together. They have a rich love.
