Baltimore Backyard Wedding | Katy + Graham | Washington DC Wedding Photographer

Just like many other mini weddings downsized by COVID, Katy & Graham changed their wedding plan to get married at Katy’s parents’ house where she spent most of childhood building up memories with her two brothers around the beautiful lake adjacent to the backyard. Although Katy’s friends couldn’t travel to her wedding, she stayed connected virtually during her getting ready, and her father & brother recorded the entire day to share the memories with the loved ones who couldn’t make it. However, we had three dogs that belong to the family, and they definitely added some fun ingredients to the wedding memories. Graham’s father officiated the wedding with beautiful messages, and Katy & Graham’s emotion maxed out when her brother presented a surprise bowl full of rolled-up papers written by many of their friends with beautiful messages.

Since Thanksgiving Day was fast approaching, I shared some teaser images and a full collection of the photos shortly after, and Katy’s mom wrote to me the next day saying, “Hello Ken,…. Thank you so much for your wonderful energy at Katy and Graham's wedding. We all could see from that day and the photos that you have sent that your heart is truly in your work…. Happy Thanksgiving from the McTooker gang, including the dogs. - Kay and Bill”

A few days later, her dad sent me a card with some beautiful words written. It reads, “Thank you from all of the McConnells and Tookers for your wonderful work at Katy' & Graham’s wedding. You faced a big challenge with two extremely introverted families, and you captured the essence of our deep love for each other and our unbridled silliness in the safety of our secret hideout. I feel very lucky to have had your undivided attention focused on the people’s love the most. And I hope that our paths will cross again at the next big celebration. Happy Thanksgiving! - Jay M”

I feel truly blessed to be a part of this intimate wedding celebration!

Waterfront Backyard Greek Wedding | Maryland Wedding Photographer | Bessy + Ioannis

Just like many other 2020 couples who made big changes in their wedding planning due to COVID-19, Bessy & Ioannis decided to get married at her uncle’s waterfront backyard located along with Wicomico River in Maryland instead of Athens, Greece. This DIY mini wedding with their immediate family with many family members and friends witnessing live from Greece was beyond amazing filled with love, joy, great Greek food and so many laughters.

After the photos were delivered a few days after their wedding, Bessy immediately followed up with a very kind message below.

“I cannot express how amazing you have been! We loved your work & your energy! You went well beyond expectations! But the most important part is that we felt you as part of our ceremony, a friend of ours! 

We cannot thank you enough! I have to admit that i am checking the photos every day! They do make my day :-)) 
My brother says also a BIG THANKS. Will send you something on behalf of him. 

Ps: my friends in Greece want me to take you there for their weddings and when a baptism will happen. Be prepared for overseas requests! Lol
