Carolyn & John Kylan Barn
Wedding Photographers in Maryland
Carolyn and John are married! Their elegant winter wonderland theme fits so perfectly within the confines of the always gorgeous Kylan Barn. There were so many string lights and evergreen everything! It made me even more excited for Christmas, and I'm already pretty stoked about it, haha! Even with the rain coming down, it couldn't put a damper on the joyous energy of the day.
I find something really special about rain on a wedding day. A lot of people panic, but for someone who had a rainy wedding day, I know how the sudden change of plans can feel oddly exciting and freeing. Think about it: a couple plans everything down to the minute for their wedding, but rain is not often in that plan. So if rain happens, it means change has to happen, and change brings a certain amount of exhilaration that comes from the unknown. It's in the unknown that a couple realizes that no matter what changes about the day - the fact that they are marrying each other is the constant.
Carolyn & John, thank you both so much for being such incredible people! Your day was filled with so much happiness, and we are so glad we got to capture it! If your dance floor is any indication of what your lives together will be like it is going to be full of laughs, love, and great music :P.
Cool stuff from the day!
Carolyn's dad built the ceremony arch!
Santa stopped by while trying to find the shopping center that he was supposed to be at, hahah!
Carolyn's dress had pockets, but she didn't have anything to go in the pockets!
Their ceremony was originally supposed to be in the woods, but because of the weather, it was quickly flipped to being in the stunning barn.
During the speeches it became clear that these two families really adore each other. On John and Carolyn's [second] first date, their parents sent covert spies to see how their date was going. Amazingly cute!
While being introduced, the DJ gave little snippets of how each bridal party member was connected to the couple. Such a great idea and an amazing way to honor your party members!
It rained most of the day, but right when it was time for Just Married portraits, the weather broke and the most gorgeous sunset happened.
To incorporate Christmas even more into the day, Carolyn and John had a selection of festive songs play during the reception!
