Center Club Wedding by Kathleen Hertel Photography

07.17.15 by Teri Pozniak

This Center Club Wedding from Kathleen Hertel Photography had quite a bit of drama surrounding it – quite literally! Just steps from where they said their vows, was the beginning of Baltimore’s “Uprising.” Officers in riot gear marched past, attempting to keep the peace in Baltimore City. But wed they must, and Jenn & Adam were the first couple to have an outdoor wedding on the patio in front of the Transamerica Building. They got ready at the beautiful Hotel Monaco which is known for it’s stunning marble stairway that dates back to when the building use to be the old station for the B&O railroad. Their reception was a pure party with intimate details, and we love the chalkboard designs behind the candy buffet. Despite all the dramatics, Jenn and Adam were still able to sneak outside for a few night shots at the end of the evening.

Ceresville Mansion Wedding by Shanna Edberg Photography

07.15.15 by Teri Pozniak

Shanna Edberg Photography shares this morning spring Ceresville Mansion wedding between an Argentinian groom and a Serbian bride. The wedding was small and intimate, with a wine-and-love-letters ceremony and personal vows. The bride’s family made the journey from Serbia and used the bride’s brother as an interpreter for their toast. Both the bride and groom are active and athletic, symbolized by their bicycle cake topper, and the groom proposed on top of Half Dome in Yosemite National Park.

Historic Oakland Wedding by Robin Shotola Photography

07.14.15 by Teri Pozniak

This sweet & sentimental same-sex wedding at the Historic Oakland Mansion was shared with us by Robin Shotola Photography. One of the brides, Ashley, shared a special moment from the day – “I carried a brown scarf on the wedding day, here’s the story behind it – The scarf belonged to my deceased grandmother Rosetta Washington on my dad’s side. My dad brought it as a surprise for my something old. Total surprise. She was a crazy spitfire riot girl. She defied convention and I do believe would have been supportive of my marriage and probably drank and danced the most at the ceremony.”

Springfield Manor Winery Wedding Styled Shoot by Manda Weaver Photography

07.13.15 by Teri Pozniak

This dreamy Springfield Manor Winery Wedding Styled Shoot from Manda Weaver Photography is light, airy, and sophisticated and is sure to set many brides-to-be into a spin of pin worthy inspiration! Styled by Pop the Cork Designs, for the Elizabeth Fogarty workshop, this shoot was set at Maryland’s gorgeous new venue, Springfield Manor Winery & Distillery, where rolling lavender fields and cascading grape vines inspired the color palette of purple, gray, green, and ivory. Flourish Floral Artistry used lush hydrangea, elegant dogwood blooms, and sprigs of lavender for both the showstopper bouquet and the tabletop’s beautiful weaving garland, adding a luxurious romantic touch. The simple elegance of the Sarah Seven gown was only enhanced by the windy climate, and the delicate crystals of the bolero and classic veil from Jaclyn Jordan New York were the crowning glory of the sessions’s loveliness. And that heirloom ring from Trumpet and Horn… What a beauty! Styled to perfection, the details from this shoot were seamlessly knit together to create a gorgeous blanket of beauty and inspiration.
