Mallory and Aaron got married on the beautiful campus of St. Johns College in Annapolis, with the smallest possible wedding (that can include a photographer). Yet another couple who tells me they are nervous and awkward with pictures but who are ridiculously cuddly and happy and look awesome in photos. Yeah, these two:
Mallory goes to St. Johns, so she already had the place well scoped-out.
Apparently it's bunny season, because these guys were everywhere.
Awwww.
Also, how rad is Mallory's 20s getup? Super-cool feather hairpiece and a rockin' green wedding dress.
There's a really beautiful little dock on a small lake at the back of St. Johns. We politely asked a couple and their dog to let us borrow the pier for a minute. He came back with a cigar for the groom. These Annapolis people are so nice! And their lakes are so pretty.
We were close, so we had to make it on down to the docks.
And the rowhouses.
Finally, in my constant quest to give each couple a little bit of "weird" photos in their set, with some cajoling they stepped a few feet outside the store so we could snag this incredibly awesome weirdest-shot-yet. Aaron is a good sport.
Congratulations you guys!
Amy and T.J. had one of the hippest weddings I've seen. First, all of their friends are super rad and stylish. Second, Amy - a very talented graphic designer - made almost everything at the wedding, giving it a really neat edgy circus vibe. It was awesome. Additionally, T.J. reminds me so much of my brother I was doing double-takes all day. But my brother so does not have a motorcycle. Did I mention these cats are hip?
*More wedding motorcycles*. Am I right? Amy and her girls got ready at home, just a few blocks away from the venue.
We had time for some portraits before the ceremony at Historic London Town.
These two are so ridiculously cute.
Love all the black and red touches.
Yep, those are umbrellas hanging from the ceiling. How cool is that?
Amy and T.J.'s beautiful daughter got passed around all day. But they stole her back for some dancing. Look at how happy that baby is!

I had such a lovely afternoon exploring Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis with this sweet couple. He proposed there. She suspected. They're getting married on the water. I'll be there. Love is cool.
Rawr.
Quiet Waters Park has all these cool sculptures around - some looking very traditional and others that are modernist and neato. So we played with them.
It was so fun photographing you guys! I'm looking forward to your wedding!
