Before we head into fall, we had to relish in some of the fantastic summer weddings that took place! We loved this summer Catoctin Hall wedding, captured by Rachel Smith Photography. Rachel says “Nicole and Chad were married on June 5th in the Catoctin Mountain region of Maryland. It was a beautiful drive to their venue, and as I pulled up to their gorgeous wedding location, I could feel my heart flutter with excitement for the day ahead. When I arrived, I found Nicole chilling out in the makeup chair.  After the girls were ready, Nicole met Chad for their first look followed by photos with their friends. When it came time for the ceremony, Nicole made her grand entrance down the garden staircase. No easy task when your ankles are swimming in crinoline fabric. After sharing a few big laughs and loving vows Chad and Nicole were married. One of my favorite wedding details was the couple’s signature wedding drink. It was the “something blue burgerita”, a play on the newlyweds last name Burger. A little burger gummy on a toothpick was placed in each blue margarita drink. Such a great wedding day personalization! The Burger’s had a hot dance party that included a rap from a guest. It was such a beautiful day, fun night, and all around awesome wedding with an amazing couple. Congrats Nicole and Chad!”
