Hayes in 1878. (Photo by Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images)

I'm not saying the news wire photographers kept intentionally lining Trump's head up with the Easter Bunny's ears, but they were absolutely doing that

Aww, thank you Jen! This was such a fun day.

Wedding photographer problems: after working through the years of Ed Sheeran first dance songs I hear "Shape of You" start playing when I'm not working and I immediately panic that I'm missing something because I don't have a camera in my hand.

Y'all, I am BEGGING YOU to turn on your alt text switch and alt text your images. Take the time, please. Make this place different in the ways that matter. It has gotten much worse, and we need to be moving the other way.

A pile of stickers and books, including the top book which has a Progress Pride flag on it and the title "This Book is Gay" by Juno Dawson.

I had such a great engagement session today in Old Ellicott City! We started at @backwaterbooks.bsky.social & I had to run by after to pick up a few things ^.^

Black and white photograph of the Jefferson Memorial with a motion blurred bride and groom walking in front of it while holding hands.

Black and white photograph of the bottom 2/3 of a bride and groom in a close embrace with their dog standing near their feet and looking at the camera.

Yesterday I photographed a really beautiful elopement on the Mall in DC. Today I made the mistake of listening to some podcasts to catch up on the news.
Ups and downs are definitely going to be the MO for the next few years.

Rainbow background with text on it reading: Hey 2SLGBTQIA + folks! I'm waiving travel fees for queer weddings anywhere in the US. And if I can't do it I can help you find someone who can. I don't have as many photo connections in other marginalized communities but if I can help I will so reach out 🩵

Oh no I'm tempted to take film to MAGFest this weekend.

This is such a beautiful image and I love the vibes! Film's unpredictability in a world of digital precision is such a delight.

This is beautiful 😍

More waterfront elopements in Baltimore, please!

The US is pretty cold right now in a lot of ways and I'm spending today in my warm, 🏳️‍🌈 home while editing a queer elopement from Dec, writing a new inclusivity statement, & focusing on the ways I can support myself & my communities. #queerwedding #youareloved #ISupportLGBTQIA

Oh that's awesome, thanks for sharing! There so many paid vendor listings and blogs and lists and such, but something about a DIY spreadsheet warms my queer heart 💜

Hi hello, I'm Devon! I'm a queer wedding, portrait, & event photographer in Baltimore, Maryland. I'm not sure what I'm using Bluesky for but I think it might be my photo thoughts & the images I love that don't always make the highlight reel. IG & website for more! #film self portrait for fun.

I've been experimenting with film photography again and I want to work it into my business more this year. Loving these images from a Baltimore elopement in December & have a bunch from January in Sweden on my blog! devonrowland.com/blog/film-ca... #filmphotography #filmisnotdead #queerwedding

A Baltimore rowhouse decorated for the holidays, featuring a large pink flamingo in the yard, with lights draped all over the front of the house, and the illuminated words “Ho Ho Ho” with an inflatable Santa reclining on the roof. Also is that a Grinch I see dangling from the roof on a string of lights?

This house on Falls Rd looks like it’s auditioning for a spot on 34th St., and honestly I would be willing to relegate at least one existing house to make room for them (realtor landlords, do better).

Be the light amongst endless shadows.

Foreground shows a blurry fire spinner in profile. Between their body and the fire is a tv screen in the background. The TV screen is in focus and has a close-up of eyes looking straight at the camera.

Who watches the watcher?

Single #weddingphotographer problems: going through a dating app, recognizing someone, realizing that not only were they a guest at a wedding I photographed but I'm currently editing that wedding so I've been seeing their face for the last 4 hours.

Looking back at some old work. These are from DC, November 2020 right after it was announced Biden won the election. Thinking about where we were 4 years ago, wondering where we'll be 4 years from now.

Today's DC wedding was absolutely stunning 😍
