Get ready to read up on this Book-themed Legg Mason Building Wedding from Meghan Boyer Photography! “Kali and Steve met on the very first day of law school at the University of Maryland. Although they didn’t start dating right away, it wasn’t long after when they realized they had sat next to their future husband/wife! Kali and Steve are very busy lawyers, so they knew early on they wanted a wedding planner to pull together their wedding and they hired lemon & lime event design. After seeing a handful of venues downtown, they decided on the Legg Mason Building for its beautiful views of the harbor in addition to the clean and modern interior. The couple, who lives in Canton, was able to do their first look at their house which they had recently bought together. They conveniently live steps away from the new “bus” sign so they knew they wanted some pictures for both the “US” and the “B” for their new last name.  They got married outside as the sun set over the harbor in a lovely ceremony that they created with Cantor Jan — it was the perfect mix of sentiment and humor. Kali and Steve didn’t want a ton of details and decor, but rather a very clean and simple look. With their new last name being Book, they worked with lemon & lime on a subtle book theme throughout. One of the guest favorites were the mini book drink stirrers that lemon & lime worked with Lauren Mattes Design to create. The mini book included pictures of their dog, the Orioles logo and a law balance, all a big parts of their story. Steve and his family (the Books) have been collecting vintage posters of The Books Band album covers, so those framed pieces were a great addition to the decor as well. Their escort cards were placed in gold spray-painted books each of which had a different story on them; from their first kiss, first date, etc. Meghan even got a shot of them with the Bertha’s Mussels bumper sticker, where they had their first date. Kali’s mom handmade roses out of book pages for every guest place setting in addition to for the groomsmen’s boutonnieres. Guests danced and celebrated all night under fun colored lanterns from Event Dynamics with the Bachelor Boys Band. We think Kali’s Facebook Status the morning of the wedding wraps it up pretty great, “Choose where you sit in 1L contracts wisely. You may end up marrying the guy sitting next to you.“
