Bold & Joyful Engineers Club Wedding | Baltimore, MD
If you’re here for vivid, bold, punchy celebration photos and a wedding day that felt like one big happy party from start to finish, you’re in the right place. Russell and Greg’s Engineers Club wedding in Baltimore was exactly the kind of elevated Baltimore wedding that makes photographers actually cheer behind the camera.
These two wanted images that pop, photos that capture unfiltered joy, vibrant moments, and all the personality of their love story. The Engineers Club delivered the perfect backdrop with its historic elegance and rich character. But this day wasn’t just pretty. It was so much fun.
A Couple That Loves Each Other (& Celebrates Hard)
It was clear that Russell and Greg wanted their wedding photos to reflect who they are: bold, playful, and completely alive in the moment. As an LGBTQ couple, they also wanted imagery that shows their love front and center, unapologetically joyful and deeply real.
They told me upfront that they wanted vivid images that felt like a celebration, not stiff portraits, so we curated that vibe from their ceremony through to dancing. It was an energy that never let up.
Ceremony Highlights at The Engineers Club
The wedding kicked off with a relaxed getting-ready moment with their nearest and dearest, followed by portraits around the grand interiors of the Engineers Club. The Club is timeless in all the right ways. It’s bursting with classic architectural details and rich interiors that naturally elevate wedding imagery. But Russell and Greg brought their own flavor to the moment.
They walked the streets with their wedding crew with champagne glasses in hand, and generally made a party of every moment and milestone.
Ceremony entrance? Iconic. Both walked hand in hand down the aisle toward the stage where they said their vows. It was a ceremony that felt joyful and personal, and the Engineer’s Club ballroom backdrop made every photo feel dramatic.
Cocktail Hour Mischief & Celebration Mode
Post‑ceremony cocktail hour was as lively as you’d imagine. Guests mingled and laughed across the mansion. The warm, historic ambiance of The Engineers Club made every candid pop. Jewel tones, laughter, clinking glasses, and genuine interactions that feel like you’re right there again when you look back at the photos.
As the reception came into full swing, the party really started, with the grooms’ entering like heroes with fun custom hats. They absolutely know how to set a tone, fun, fashion‑forward, and so absolutely them. The energy in the room was electric as each walked in, greeted with smiles, cheers, and the kind of excitement that can’t be faked for a photo.
Dinner, Toasts & All The Feels
If you think the fun slowed down at dinner… think again.
Dinner toasts were heartfelt and hilarious, and I love images that show that mix of genuine emotion and total celebration. The lighting in the atrium at the Engineers Club was perfect for storytelling photography. The warm light is perfect for beautifully expressive candid shots.
Costume Change + Dance Floor Energy
After dinner, the party shifted into second gear when Russell and Greg made a second entrance in new outfits. The vibe shifted right into celebratory chaos (in the best way possible). Everyone was there to dance, laugh, and make memories.
And because we were shooting in the punchy, bold style Russell and Greg asked for, the images from this part of the day are among my favorites.
That first dance was sweet and real, and then came the cake cutting… and the jock toss, an absolutely iconic move that perfectly summed up the energy of the night.
