Joe & Robin | Just Because I Love You | Broadneck Park Photographer

My sister-in-law Robin is the baby of the family, so I think it’s hard for everyone to see her growing up & dating now. Last year she started dating a really sweet guy, Joe. Now I don’t know much about Joe yet, but I do know he possesses these great qualities: he watches the same TV shows as me, he runs to clear his mind (like me), he’s in the Army, and he thinks Robin is super awesome. Those pretty much make him a good guy. Well, he & Robin will be starting the long-distance thing since the Army has called him away for a while. And before they swept him down south, we headed out to Broadneck park for some casual “Just Because” photos of the two of them. As Robin said, I take better photos than a cell phone, so she asked me. Thanks Robin. I like to think I blow a cell phone out of the water, but not to get cocky….

On to their photos!

And Rita’s Italian Ice, you are welcome to contact me for licensing to this super awesome pic by your store. I’m thinking your new slogan can be “Ice. Custard. Love.”

Joe + Jacque = Married!

It will be two weeks tomorrow since Joe & Jacque became husband and wife…and I’m finally doing their “official” wedding blog! My wonderful friend Heather agreed to so graciously assist me on this wedding, and I’m so grateful!

Jacque & Joe couldn’t have ordered up a more perfect day for their wedding. They began their journey at the United States Naval Academy Chapel in Annapolis, Maryland. If you’ve ever been to a Naval Academy wedding, you know those things move like clockwork! There’s about 30 minutes for one wedding, they shuffle you out one door as guests for the next wedding shuffle in the next door, and 30 minutes later the next wedding begins! I have to give huge props to the ladies & gentlemen at the Chapel who make those miracles happen! Jacque & Joe’s wedding was the first wedding of the day, so luckily we had a bit more restful time before their ceremony began.

Everyone who’s seen her picture nailed it on the head – Jacque is a stunning bride. She was so sweet and excited to become Joe’s wife. And Joe! What a guy! He just beamed with love for her as she came down the aisle with her father. They were a wonderful picture to see. And I’m so glad they let Heather and I share in their day.

Okay…so enough babbling. Just get to the pictures! Here are Jacque & Joe…

Jacque & Joe: The Preview

My dear friend Heather & I shot an intimate wedding yesterday at the United States Naval Academy Chapel for Jacque & Joe. Since I’m still working on previous sessions (and laundry, and dishes, and raising children), I’ll give you a quick preview of this fabulous couple! Check back next week to see their full blog post.

And now, presenting Mr. & Mrs. Parker!
