Carly + Dan :: Chesapeake Bay Beach Club, Stevensville, MD

Carly and Dan were married at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club in Stevensville, MD on a wonderfully hot day in September. The initial forecast was rain all day, so we were happy to have some sun! The beach club is just fabulous--being able to see the bay bridge, hear the water against the shore, and witness the sunset over the water is such a treat. Their first look was so sweet and emotional, a note from Dan moving Carly to tears. Their ceremony was incredibly special as well

Krystal + Daniel :: Cloisters Castle, Lutherville, MD

Krystal and Daniel's wedding was so incredible! It all took place at the Cloisters Castle in Lutherville, MD. It was the perfect venue for their Game of Thrones themed wedding, complete with swords, falcons, doves, fur stoles and cloaks, and an awesome bridal party to go with it! Even Kelly (their wedding coordinator) dressed up like a ninja (#theweddingninja) and Jeff (the DJ) dressed up like a knight! Krystal's mother officiated the wedding and Daniel's father was the sword

Katie + Daniel :: Carroll County Farm Museum, Westminister, MD

What a cool place! Sweeping grassy hills, tall trees and a variety of buildings made it such a unique location for a wedding. Katie and Daniel had an outdoor ceremony on the lawn behind the farmhouse. It was the perfect little oasis for an intimate wedding with Daniel's father officiating. Following the ceremony, the guests moved over to the reception barn for dinner and dancing. The DJ managed to get the crowd moving after a delicious spread of barbecued meats and sides. Wh

Ashley + Mike :: Naval Academy Chapel // Loews Hotel, Annapolis, MD

What an unbelievable day we had with Ashley and Mike! They are the kind of couple that you meet for the first time and it seems like you've known them forever. Friendly, warm-hearted and so flexible which made our jobs so easy. They had a destination wedding in Annapolis, the area meant so much to them. Mike graduated from the Naval Academy and so their ceremony was held at the Naval Academy Chapel which was absolutely grand, ending with a sword arch. Following their ceremony

Kaitlyn + Kyle :: Monkton, MD

Kaitlyn and Kyle were married in Kyle's dad's backyard, such a lovely setting for their celebration! Once again, rain threatened, but held off for the day :) The yard games, rustic decor, photo booth and amazing food made it super fun for their guests. They wanted to keep things simple and yet Kaitlyn's attention to detail made it so beautiful--she painted the ladder toss bolas silver and bronze to add some gorgeous flair! Kaitlyn's brother officiated and kept the ceremony sh

Julia + Ben :: Pine Ridge Farm, Stewartsville, PA

When Julia called me last year to talk about her wedding, it sounded magical. Julia and Ben incorporated natural elements, their travels, things they love, Julia and Leah's angelic voices and planned their wedding with a "rustic elegance" theme in mind. It was 100% them and all happened at Pine Ridge Farm in Stewartstown, PA. If you're looking for a barn venue, check out this place! Both Julia, her sister and their friends are all musically talented. Julia surprised Ben by s

Lauren + John :: Rusty Scupper, Baltimore, MD

Lauren and John were married on one of the most gorgeous spring days that we've had. After a cold winter lasting into late April, they were blessed with a beautiful day. They met in in a college study abroad program in Russia and have continued to travel the world! They read their hand-written vows to each other overlooking the Baltimore Harbor, their deep love for each other so evident. Lauren said that she knew John was the one not because he was the one she could live with

Chelsea + David :: Elkridge Furnace Inn, Elkridge, MD

Chelsea and David were married at the Elkridge Furnace Inn which provided such a warm and cozy environment for a chilly, rainy day! The rain didn't damper the excitement of their wedding day in the least. Their friends and family gathered to celebrate with them as they tied the knot. One of the funniest moments was when Chelsea's grandparents won the anniversary dance. First they had no idea why people were clapping and then when questioned about how many years they'd been ma

Emily + David : Baltimore Basilica // Whitehouse Caterers at Overhills Mansion

After so many below freezing days in January, the weather for Emily and David's wedding day was a lovely surprise! Emily's dress was designed and made by Laurie Anne Benko, owner of Restitched Designs. The scalloped lace neckline of Emily's dress and the ivory color suited her so well and the design complemented her slender waist. She wore her grandmother's pearl necklace and a gorgeous two-tiered veil which added such a classic touch. Emily and David were married at the Balt

Amber + Adam : The Engineer's Club at the Garret-Jacobs Mansion, Baltimore, MD

Amber and Adam's winter wedding was at the Engineer's Club in Baltimore, MD. It's the perfect venue for a winter wedding as weather doesn't matter since you're tucked inside of this incredible mansion with so many rooms from which to choose. Amber wore an heirloom emerald and diamond necklace (a gift from her great-grandfather to her great-grandmother on their wedding anniversary), her grandmother's bracelet and had a heart-shaped piece of her grandfather's shirt sewn into th

Lexy + Andrew :: Historic London Town Gardens, Annapolis, MD

Lexy and Andrew combined their names and designed a logo with two arrows crossing through a cherry. Both talented and creative, they built their design using wooden planks and used it as their guest book! I love it when couples DIY details in their wedding to incorporate in their home decor. Their ceremony and reception were at Historic London Town Gardens in Annapolis, MD. It was an absolutely gorgeous evening with an outdoor ceremony and the best combination of vendors. Rou
