Kayli and Jake planned the sweetest Puh’tok Camp Wedding. Not only did they invite their closest friends and family, they got to make a weekend of it. With enough bunk beds to go around, it was like a giant summer camp sleep over. How fun is that? Kayli is also one of the craftiest humans I have ever met, and created so many of the custom details seen around camp.

What makes Camp Puh’Tok the perfect location for a Summer Camp Wedding
Only 20 minutes from Baltimore, and an hour from DC, the location is perfect for couples that want to escape to nature for their wedding. With sixty-seven wooded acres of land, it has all of the space you need to relax and get back to nature. It also has enough lodging for 172 guests, so everyone can have a place to stay.
Camp Puh’tok Cabins
Kayli and Jake got ready in the most charming adjacent A-frame cabins, tucked away in the woods, surrounded by their closest friends. With rustic wooden bunk beds and nostalgic camp vibes, it felt like stepping back in time to those carefree summer days at camp. Laughter and excitement filled the air as everyone buzzed with anticipation, fully embracing the laid-back, joyful energy of the day. You could feel the love and excitement radiating from their friends, making it the perfect start to the couples unforgettable wedding celebration
First Look at the A-frame cabin
They shared the sweetest first look in front of Kayli’s A-frame cabin. She stepped out onto the porch and down the wooden stairs while Jake waited below with his back turned.
When he finally turned around, the moment felt quiet and full of anticipation.
The forest around them was calm and peaceful. It made the perfect setting for them to see each other for the first time. A simple, intimate moment filled with love, excitement, and the beginning of their wedding day.
Portraits at the Campground
After the first look, we spent some time photographing the couple with their families. Then we explored the campground with just the two of them.
They have such an easygoing energy and were up for anything, which made wandering around the summer camp a lot of fun.
We stopped all over the property. Hidden forest trails. An old camp fort. Each spot gave us a chance to create playful, candid portraits that reflected their fun-loving spirits and deep connection.
Outdoor Ceremony in the Woods
The couple exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony beneath the pines, on the most perfect October weather day. The day was filled with love, emotion, and meaningful personal touches that made their celebration truly unforgettable. One of their dearest friends officiated, adding heartfelt stories and the sweetest details that made everyone smile. In a beautiful reflection of their partnership, they chose to walk down the aisle together—both at the start and the end of their ceremony—a moment that felt so uniquely them. I absolutely loved how they embraced every opportunity to make their day their own, filled with intention, love, and authenticity.
Pizza Party and Reception
The evening ended with dinner from a Brick Oven Pizza truck, toasts, some epic dancing, and a couple magic tricks from Kayli’s dad who is an amazing magician. It was the perfect ending to a perfect day, fun and filled with joy!

A few words from Kayli and Jake
“From our first conversation with Aimee, my now-husband and I knew that there we would be no better choice to capture our wedding day! She showed such enthusiasm for our plans and visions- it became so easy to trust that she would exceed any expectations we could have from a wedding photographer. She is incredibly talented, communicative, professional, personable, and also just plain fun! She is a joy to work with and a joy to be around.
Aimee’s process is seamless, she comes with a plan and is extremely efficient with her time. She was so organized and allowed us to prioritize our time with our loved ones.
When we reminisce about our wedding day with our friends and family, we receive endless compliments about how incredible our photos turned out. We have heard more than once- “Your photographer is awesome!!!” Yeah…we know! We, as much as our guests, are just completely floored by her passion and presence. Failing to find any other words, it just felt like she was supposed to be there. We are so lucky to have found Aimee and to have had our wedding day captured through her eyes, her photos are the gift of a lifetime!”
