Early Spring in Maryland. An incredibly talented team and a unique vision: the beauty and grit of Steeplechase. This shoot, as featured on the international wedding publication, Trendy Bride, was a highlight of my year. Enjoy! xo

“Deep in the Maryland countryside, this styled shoot celebrates the long-standing tradition of the steeplechase. A little more gritty than the Kentucky Derby, the steeplechase evokes the excitement of horse racing while embracing the rugged, yet refined life out in the country. Plentiful details create the understated elegance of this outdoor shoot.” – Trendy Bride
