Gaver Tree Farm Engagement Session by Shannon Bishop Photography

12.08.15 by Katie Welsh

Get your hot chocolate and cozy up to this sweet Gaver Tree Farm Engagement Session by Shannon Bishop Photography. Shannon tells us, “I met Alex and Jordan a few months ago when they inquired with me about their November 2016 wedding. They are both very sweet, genuine people that have incredible style. They knew they wanted to do something a little different for their engagement session so we began planning a styled engagement session at a tree farm in Carroll County, Maryland. Both Alex and Jordan are from Baltimore City so this was a nice change of scenery for them. Brit, from Ruie and Grace, was an incredible asset in pulling together all the ideas for this shoot. She helped Alex and Jordan with choosing outfits, props and then she arrived bright and early for hair and makeup. This sunrise shoot meant everyone had a 3:30 am wakeup call since we had a decent amount of driving to do in order to use this location. Both Alex and Jordan were a little nervous about photos but they were rockstars! They spent most of their session laughing and just enjoying the time together. I mean, after all, who wouldn’t have fun with a marshmallow fight and being wrapped up a blanket with a person you love?!”

Camp Puh’Tok Wedding by Matoli Keely Photography

12.07.15 by Katie Welsh

This fun Camp Puh’Tok Wedding by Matoli Keely Photography makes us wish we were at summer camp again! Matoli tells us, “Heather and James are the perfect match for each other. Both have kind generous adventure-filled hearts and when they are both together, there is no doubt that their life and love for each other will know no bounds. Camp Puh’Tok on a rainy October day was the backdrop for this gorgeous fun filled nature themed wedding. The rain did not dampen the love and celebration of this outdoors rustic wedding. The Hacienda was the perfect location for the ceremony and added a definite wow factor to the day. The night ended with dancing and celebration into the wee hours of the night as family and friends danced the night away and toasted to the lovely couple.”

William Paca House Wedding by Anna Schmidt Photography

12.03.15 by Teri Pozniak

We simply adore this beautiful William Paca House wedding, from Anna Schmidt Photography! The bride is stunning, the weather is gorgeous, and the details are all about the couple! Anna shares more about John+Erica’s big day! “John is a friend of mine from college, and when he asked me to photograph his wedding, I was beyond excited! John and Erica are wonderful people, and they spent their wedding day yesterday surrounded by great family and friends. Their small ceremony with about 70 guests took place at the gorgeous William Paca House and Gardens in downtown Annapolis, Maryland. Erica looked stunning in her gown and long veil, and she and her sister (Holly) came up with some beautiful and creative ideas for the wedding day details. John also worked with his best man (Jeremy) to create a batch of expertly crafted homemade brewed beer for their wedding. The beer labels were designed by the best man’s wife, Nicki, who is a fantastic graphic designer. These guys really brought on the creative talent!”

Cylburn Wedding by Nessa K Photography

12.02.15 by Teri Pozniak

With a bubble-filled church exit, and greenery for days, this Cylburn wedding from Nessa K Photography has us charmed! The bride, Laura, tells us more about why they chose the venue and the wedding theme: “My husband and I both live in Baltimore, so we were looking for a place that fit both our guest count and our personalities. Cylburn accomplished both of those criteria. We went for a rustic style and since we were at an arboretum, we ran with the tree identification theme.”
