Wishing you all a happy and safe Fourth of July 🇺🇸 and celebrating these two. Engagement sessions are priceless in my opinion. It was such a fun day with B & M exploring and the surrounding area of St. Michael’s. Who doesn’t love sunshine and sailboats? Sign me up every time ⛵️

“Voglio passare il resto della mia vita con te”
Translation: I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
That is exactly what Faith and Nick want to do. They exchanged vows on Saturday with a breeze building before the rain came down. We had wind, rain and sun but you wouldn’t know it because these two only had eyes for each other.
In my many years of photographing weddings I always say, give me a couple madly in love with each other and everything will be just fine.

Congratulations to and who tied the knot on May 4th. Even with the rain it was a beautiful day! Just a reminder that your wedding day might not go exactly as planned but in the end it is still going to be so incredibly special! And without the rain we wouldn’t have gotten the amazing fog in one of their photographs! Did it rain on your wedding day? A knot that becomes wet is extremely hard to untie – therefore, when you “tie the knot” on a rainy day, your marriage is supposedly just as hard to unravel!

I think a springtime engagement session in NYC is always a good idea! Missing the big apple and remembering this couple and our adventures throughout the city makes me smile. Fun fact, I still have my New York mobile number and I’ll never let it go! Who wants to get engaged and do a session in New York with me?

Well, here’s to another trip around the sun today. Thank you to all who have reached out and wished me a Happy Birthday. I appreciate it so much but now I need something else. I’m currently in the ER with my mama. The woman who gave me life and raised me needs your good thoughts and support. Still waiting to hear what’s going on. I am incredibly grateful for the village that we have around us and our family. Thankful for my amazing husband who has been my rock. Here to hoping all is well and we can get my mother back home soon.

There is something about the unveiling the reception space, seeing your table settings, the flowers even the chairs where love meets artistry. Elevate your guests wedding experience with thoughtful ideas, colors and textures to share who you are as a couple! It’s one of the things that guests will remember! So crafting a compelling and elegant table where they will be spending the evening is worth every detail!

As engagement season approaches it’s fun to look back at some photos from recent DC engagement session. It’s not only a way to get amazing photos of yourselves but it’s the best opportunity for us to get to know each other more and learn what it will be like to work together! Plus how adorable is this chic white dress that she chose! So fun!

Mood? Check. Light? Check. Romance? Check. Fun and sexy. Check and check!
Have the best time with your couple AFTER the shoot over dinner? Priceless.
I knew when I first talked with and that we would get along, but now after spending the day with them and capturing all this goodness, I know we are going to have the most incredible time at their wedding. They just melt into each other and the look they share, you know it’s love.
So incredibly honored to be a part of your story. Can’t wait for the next chapter in 2024!!

When it rains there is still beauty to be had. You just have to know how to see it.
Congratulations and Paul. They say that rain means good luck on your wedding day. I think you two will be overflowing with luck for years! Did it rain on your wedding day? It did for me and we will be celebrating 14 years in October!

Whisper something to each other… there are lots of tips and tricks to your engagement session, but the real tip is to enjoy yourselves and let go. Believe me, I know how hard it can be to have your photo taken, but it’s all worth it! It was easy with these two! Once they warmed up it came so naturally. We had the best time recently and I can’t wait for their wedding next year with !!

Summertime love with the most lovely couple. Highly recommend these easy, breezy outfits. I always say to wear something a little fancier so you can get used to moving in a dress or suit!

Photos from Sera Petras Photography's post 06/12/2023

So in LOVE. We talk a lot about love being wedding photographers. And well, we should be. It’s all about the love on your wedding day. It’s about merging your lives, your families and friends TOGETHER. L & A merged beautifully in for a fun twist. They love books so why not get married in a bookshop! I love how crafted their dream into a reality.
Where would you get married if you had any option available to you? I love to cook and bake and I think it would be super fun to be married in a beautiful bakery. Maybe in France. Ahhh, can’t you just smell the pastries 🥐
Congratulations Lindsey and Akash!!
