Alternative Wedding in Frederick, Md
I see more and more people asking me about non traditional or alternative weddings. I welcome requests for small or alternative weddings, they are always a joy to photograph. I am always in favor of bucking tradition; Intimate ceremonies, courthouse vows, elopements, micro-weddings, and celebrations that blend traditions or happen across multiple days are all fully in my wheelhouse. I tailor coverage to your needs, focusing on genuine moments, meaningful details, and the atmosphere that makes your day unique.
If your plans are unconventional, scaled-down, spread out over separate events, or just downright weird (<3), I’ll work with you to create a relaxed timeline, clear package options, and images that tell your complete story.

Multi-day event? No problem!
Recently I photographed a couple across a few different days. First for their engagement, then they wanted an intimate courthouse ceremony with some photos of them together at a nearby scenic park. This was followed on a later day by a reception that included beautiful Ethiopian wedding elements. It’s honestly a wonderful example of how small, multi-part celebrations can be both deeply personal and richly photographic. Check out some of the highlights below.
Elopement in Rockville MD
A short & sweet elopement in Rockville Maryland
When a Marine Corps friend of mine reached out to me about his elopement I was so excited for him! He told me he was only expecting needing coverage for a small courthouse ceremony but that he wanted photos of the day to remember. The courthouse was a small and intimate affair, and I don’t believe they planned it, but the outfits matched the courthouse interior wonderfully. I was able to convince him that they should also do a short and sweet photo session outside the courthouse right after, before they move on to the honeymoon! He agreed and I am so happy he took me up on the offer because the photos outside were some of my favorite!

Jess & Joe
Some select shots from the engagement session with Jess and Joe, a beautiful and happy couple.
Can you imagine a sunny day with 50 degree weather in Syracuse, New York in late January? For those of you who rock the orange and blue, this seems like a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, because you know how rainy and cloudy and gray Syracuse often is. I guess someone on the top floor really wants Joe and Jess to get married because this is exactly what happened the day we went to photograph their engagement! We started off the session on top of the Crowne Plaza hotel in downtown Syracuse. From the roof you could see all parts of the city. Onondaga lake, Downtown, S.U. hill, the Dome, Destiny, East Syracuse, Onondaga Hill, Solvay, Camillus... we could see it all. Visibility was high and the southern winter light was beautiful. After the photo op on the roof, we went inside to showcase the adorable
"Save the Date" signs Jess made. Later, we went for a walk around Franklin Square. The sun was just hitting the perfect position and Jess's golden yellow outfit gave the photos the perfect amount of pop. We finished off the day underneath some birch trees which is the inspiration for the wedding cake!
