January 15, 2019 Best of 2018 | Tommy’s Favorite Ten(ish) Photos | Baltimore Wedding Photographer

This year instead of just doing our Best of Recap and leaving it at that, we thought it would be fun to choose our favorite photos and moments throughout the year and tell the stories behind them. Sometimes the ones that mean the most to us are the ones that don't look like much to others, and that's because we know more than a casual blog-goer would by just scrolling through. We know the people and we know the stories....

January 14, 2019 Kiley + Doug | Union Collective Engagement Photos | Baltimore, MD

Kiley and Doug's engagement session last week was a ton of fun despite blistering cold temperatures. We made plans to check out the Union Collective and partake in many of the things they have to offer - Craft Beer, Craft Spirits, and (hand) craft(ed) Ice Cream! They had already had more traditional engagement photos taken last summer, so they told me to go ham with creative and fun photos. I think we had a good time :) Union Collective Engagement Photos ...

January 11, 2019 Behind the Scenes | 2018 Shenanigans | Baltimore Wedding Photographers

January 10, 2019 Best of 2018 | Baltimore Wedding Photography | Photography by Brea

Every year, this is my favorite post to make. 2018 was Photography by Brea's official 8th year in business, and it makes me super emotional to think that our tenth year is just around the corner. This accidental business became the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. I can think of very few other jobs that are so emotionally fulfilling. There's nothing quite like this. To be invited into someone's world for some of the most intimate moments...

January 9, 2019 Maui, Hawaii 2018 | Sunrise Family Session *and* Our Sunset Couples’ Session

This December, once we were nearing the end of our wedding season (I say nearing because we still had 3 weddings to go!) we took a well earned break to the Hawaiian islands for a couple of weeks. Our second day on the island started by meeting with my friend Angie with Angela Nelson Photography and Engaged on Maui to photograph her beautiful family at sunrise. After a bit of exploring, we reconvened for a sunset session for Tommy and...
