The Canopy by Hilton Harbor Point may not be the first wedding venue that comes to mind in Baltimore, but it’s in one of the most prime locations in the entire city for waterfront photos in front of the harbor. The glass-enclosed event space with floor-to-ceiling windows is beautiful, and opens to an outdoor terrace overlooking the harbor. The adjoining bar is the perfect place for cocktail hour. Being able to get ready in one of the hotel’s stunning waterfront suites is just another added bonus.

      ABOUT morgan

      I work with couples who are laid-back like me, and whose idea of a perfect wedding day is enjoying themselves, not posing for an elaborate photoshoot.

      I'm originally from Duxbury, Massachusetts, a quiet coastal town south of Boston. For 9 years I photographed weddings in between Boston and South Florida, before moving to Baltimore where I now reside with my fiancé, Scott. I now primarily photograph weddings in Maryland, including Annapolis and the Eastern Shore. I also still take a select number of weddings each year in Massachusetts with no travel fee, so please reach out if you are getting married in either area!
