AVAM Wedding by Love Life Images

10.17.16 by Teri Pozniak

The sparkly shoes certainly caught my eye, in this AVAM wedding, captured by Love Life Images! “Amy and David began their wedding day with a first look at the fountain in Harbor East, before traveling to the American Visionary Arts Museum. The museum grounds offer so many fun backdrops for portraits so we definitely took advantage of the gardens and sculptures! Amy and David said their vows under Amy’s mother’s veil that was used for the chuppah, after signing their ketubah during the ceremony, in front of all their family and friends. At the reception, Amy and David shared their parent dance before guests joined them on the dance floor for the rest of the evening. There were many special toasts from family members near and far, including a special Skype message from Amy’s grandfather who could not travel to Baltimore for the wedding. Their special day had a sweet ending, as guests were treated to a custom candy bar!”

Rawlings Conservatory Engagement by Paula Bartosiewicz Photography

10.11.16 by Teri Pozniak

When the bride is a florist, you know there is bound to be some gorgeous stems in the mix, and you won’t be disappointed in this Rawlings Conservatory Engagement session from Paula Bartosiewicz Photography! Paula says, “Irene and Dylan are local Baltimore natives. Irene works for Local Color Flowers as a florist and Dylan is currently in the process of opening up Dylan’s Oyster Cellar in Hampden. Having their engagement shoot at the botanical garden and at Jones Falls just seemed fitting for the two of them.The love between these two is so genuine and infections. It was so much fun playing at the botanical gardens and then adventure down to Jones Falls for some beers and more portraits. We ended their shoot for pizza and beer at Paulie Gees in Hampden. Their wedding is set for this October in Baltimore.”

Boho Chesapeake Bay Beach Club Wedding by Jessica Eastburn Photography

10.05.16 by Katie Welsh

Flower Crowns, flowy dresses and one adorable ring bearer (who also happens to be the couple’s son) make up this Boho Chesapeake Bay Beach Club Wedding by Jessica Eastburn Photography. A looming hurricane made for one gorgeous sunset that matched the colorful and fun traditional Nigerian ceremony! We just love the vibrant colors of the dress the bride changed into! Jessica of Jessica Eastburn Photography tells us, “With views of the water and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, Amanda and Nchewi were married at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club on the deck of the Sunset Ballroom. Although there was talk of an impending hurricane, the weather was cool with a slight wind that eventually calmed down in time for the exchanging of vows. The groom was escorted by their 2-year-old son and the bride walked down the aisle with her father to the upbeat song, “I Got You,” by Duke Dumont! And despite a scare where a groomsman fainted, the ceremony went beautifully with smiles and tears throughout. After their first dance, I was able to sneak the couple away at dusk for some pretty spectacular sunset portraits. Then following dinner, the groom’s Nigerian family performed a traditional ceremony that kicked off the dancing and the night’s festivities. Such a fun wedding and a beautiful couple!”

Romantic Historic Londontown Wedding by Tara + Renata

09.29.16 by Katie Welsh

Nothing will warm you up on this rainy day (and rainy Wedding Day!) more than today’s Romantic Historic Londontown Wedding by Tara + Renata. A few rain drops weren’t stopping this wedding full of fun details from going off! There is something so heartwarming about the look Tyler gives to his bride, the way these two involved their families and their faith and the glow radiating from everyone who made their day so special. Don’t miss out on the adorable Father & Daughter dance! Tara of Tara + Renata tells us, “Jessi and Tyler were “set up” by both of their best friends. Originally long-distance from one another, they spent many weekends traveling between Georgia and Maryland. Jessi and Tyler’s wedding was planned amidst all this traveling, a job change for Tyler, and completion of nursing school for Jessi. And the day went off without a hitch! Jessi’s mom and sister helped her with every detail, from personalized coke bottles to sewing gold accent pillows, bunting, and runners for the reception area. They had planned a gorgeous outdoor garden wedding at London Town, but it rained all day. In spite of the rain, an incredible bride and groom and their super willing 19-person bridal party allowed us to get some amazing outdoor portraits, while the soft rain created the most romantic feel!”
