I met Elizabeth and Ryan for the first time on their wedding day, June 28th, 2014 at the beautiful and private Billingsley House in Upper Malboro, Maryland. They are living in California and we had our initial meeting over Skype (and I must say thanks to our mutual friend Valerie for connecting us!)

First off, I have to mention that I felt like I was in a James Bond film as I arrived to the wedding location. In order to enter the property, you must drive up to a gate, push a button to open it and enter through a waste water treatment plant. As you weave around various brick buildings and parking lots, you eventually cross a bridge, drive down a winding road through a forest, pass through several fields and eventually end up at Billingsley House. Talk about a top secret location! The ceremony was held on top of a hill with a breathtaking view that overlooked a river and corn fields below.

Elizabeth and Ryan were one of the most hilarious, genuine, unique and laid back couples I've photographed. Ryan's facial expressions and wild crazy poses made photo taking fun and he was great at making Elizabeth laugh :) I hope you enjoy the beautiful images below!
