Mitch & Jackie - Wedding Photos

These are some of my favorite photos taken of Mitch and Jackie Davidson's wedding on June 17, 2010.  It took place at the beautiful Overhills Mansion in Catonsville, MD.  

Mitch and Jackie are such a sweet couple.  It was a pleasure editing these photos.  You can really tell they're in love in each photo they share.  I'm not usually that photographer that "awwws" the whole time I'm going back through the photos, but I was this time.  So many sweet moments. :)  If you'd like to hear more of their story, you can read how they met here and read the proposal story here.  (I'd highly recommend it.  Very cute.)

Big, big thanks to Paul Barrios for second-shooting for me and letting me use his rockin-awesome lenses.  Mark those as next on the to-do list for Sarah Patch Photography, please. 

We started out by doing a photo session of just the girls at a park nearby.  

Beautiful photos are easy to make when there are beautiful girls in them.  Case in point: Jackie. 

She's so cute.  I told her to do a "diva pose" - the first photo was her reaction, and the second photo was her pose.  

Case in point #2: the bridesmaids.  

  

Jackie's bridesmaids were a good mixture of sisters, sisters-in-law, and close friends.

On to the mansion!  

I loved the details she put into the ceremony decor!  Definitely makes for awesome photos. 

Let's get down to business, folks!  

And this is Mitch.  Waiting.

Both the preacher and the best man are the groom's brothers.  Jackie's brother is just on the other side of the best man - you can see him in the previous photo.  

Mitch praying over them as a couple :)

Yay! :)

We took a few minutes to grab portraits of Mitch and Jackie out back as the sun was setting.









On to the reception!



I thought this was cute.  During the toasts, Mitch and Jackie had almost identical reactions to the things that were said.  You can see how alike they've become already :)







I think Mitch can use this same face again whenever his daughter eventually gets married. :)















Love this last shot by Paul -



Mitch and Jackie, it was a pleasure shooting your wedding day - you're such a sweet couple.  May God bless your marriage as it continues to grow. 

A Few Photos from Michael & Ebony's Wedding

These are a few photos from a wedding I second-shot for my friend and fellow photographer, Jenny James.  She's one of my favorite photographers and puts out some beautiful work - check out her site here. :)

Here's a few of my favorite shots from getting ready, the ceremony and the reception!  

Check this out!  Nobody says a preacher can't rock the D&G! :)  

Near the end of the ceremony, the preacher laid hands on the couple and prayed over their lives together, over the influences on their marriages, over the children they would have, over their relationships with God...

And the whole congregation and bridal party prayed their own prayers for them aloud with the preacher. It was pretty awesome.  I think this should definitely be a more common practice at weddings.
