Maryland Zoo Wedding by Meghan Elizabeth Photography

11.07.16 by Teri Pozniak

We love the story of how this Maryland Zoo wedding came to be! Meghan Elizabeth Photography shares more: “They wanted to get married somewhere tropical. They began the planning process and slowly this destination wedding was becoming more and more expensive. Becoming more and more involved and stressful. Family members were dropping out due to the expense of travel and quickly they decided this tropical destination wedding wasn’t what they wanted. It wasn’t what they expected or saw for their wedding. They wanted simple and elegant, to be surrounded by their friends and family & they just wouldn’t happen if they stuck with this current plan. But yet, they didn’t want to budge on getting married this year. So they found a venue that still had a 2016 wedding date available, The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore! The catch?! They had exactly 3 months to plan the entire thing, so they did it! They rocked that planning and put together this entire stunning wedding together in three months!! I’m impressed and you should be too.
Jessica & Chad’s The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore Wedding was on an incredibly hot day in August, so hot the ceremony was shortened to about 10 minutes – just enough time to say their vows, exchange rings and kiss! It was detailed with blush pink, mint and khaki. It featured animal cracker take aways and wildflower centerpieces. But most importantly the day featured their friends and family. Oh and a penguin! Yes a penguin – Hope the Penguin!”

Home Engagement Session by Kate Ann Photography

11.03.16 by Katie Welsh

Get cozy in today’s Home Engagement Session by Kate Ann Photography. What a better way to capture a smitten couple than having an engagement session in their own element! Surrounded by things they love- music, books, strolls through the neighborhood and their awesome cat. Kate tells us,“On a sunny Saturday morning I met April and Dan at their beautiful home in Baltimore for an engagement session! These two love record shopping, collecting criterion films, and anything Wes Anderson related. They met by playing in a folk/indie band. I had so much fun documenting their morning of making breakfast, reading in bed, and singing duets. I can not wait for their Baltimore November wedding at Church and Company!”

Tidewater Inn Wedding by Jessica Eastburn Photography

11.01.16 by Katie Welsh

You’re going to love today’s Regal Tidewater Inn Wedding by Jessica Eastburn Photography! With pops of blush and gold, this Easton Wedding is full of classic touches and an adorable bride & groom who can’t stop smiling! Jessica tells us, “Susie and Nick. Hands down two of the nicest and most fun people you will ever meet! This wedding was filled with amazing details, a lot of laughter and tons of love. Set in downtown Easton, MD at The Tidewater Inn, the couple chose to do a first look in the gardens of the Talbot Historical Society. Susie, who donned a Romona Keveza wedding dress and Badgley Mischka shoes, met Nick with tears of joy and shaking jitters; so sweet to witness and capture with my camera! An intimate wedding followed their portraits on the hotel property. Susie has an incredible smile with an infectious laugh and you can totally tell how excited and happy they were in that moment. The night continued by candlelight with good food, dancing and more laughter. Before finishing the night, I was able to sneak them out for a low-lit shot in front of their venue. What a beautiful wedding for a beautiful couple.”

Glen Ellen Farm Wedding by Heather Ryan Photography

10.28.16 by Katie Welsh

This Glen Ellen Farm Wedding by Heather Ryan Photography is full of gorgeous rustic details and the most adorable couple we’ve seen. Glen Ellen Farm sits on rolling hills of Fredrick, Maryland and is full of blooms, greenery and pond views that make for the perfect wedding back drop. There is nothing sweeter than the way this groom looks at his blushing bride! Heather tells us, “It was a spectacular day fitting a farm wedding where the bride and groom were surrounded by their closest family and friends. The newlyweds were introduced to each other by Kelly’s maid of honor during one fated trip to the beach. The rest, as they say, is history! Kelly is a girl after my own heart. She designed and created the signs for their day, and her mom made the beautiful and meaningful family tree. I loved the bells (exemplifying their union and last name!), neutral details, and succulents throughout. What lovely touches! I am so excited to share this wedding! What a beautiful day for an incredibly sweet and deserving couple. Congratulations again Mr. & Mrs. Bell!”
