Antrim 1844 in the summer is absolutely stunning. Antrim 1844 in the winter...also absolutely stunning. This venue is jaw-dropping gorgeous year-round and I am obsessed with it! For Katie and Adam's beautiful January wedding, they combined winter colors with spring florals, which just made the winter garden greatness of Antrim pop! One of my favorite details of the day was George, Katie's stuffed monkey from when she was a baby. He was such a special part of Katie's life, so it only made sense that he was dressed to the nines for Katie and Adam's day! Katie & Adam - we are so grateful to have met you and your families and spent your day with you! It was truly such a lovely experience and we are so excited to see where life takes the two of you. We know you're going to have such a wonderful life adventure complete with lots of laughs, jokes, and sweet kisses! Notable things from the day! During the first dance, their guests joined in by singing along with the song as Katie and Adam danced ❤️. Katie's shoes are the same ones she wore to prom. Katie had a special guest in attendance - her stuffed monkey, George, whom she got when she was 1! Katie's cousin sewed a suit for George the monkey which was the perfect fit! The stationery that Adam used for his vows was incredibly special and it was by chance that Adam had any leftover in...

Mario and Julie had THE most perfect wedding day! From the weather, which was a cool 74 degrees, to their venues, everything was absolutely gorgeous! Their wedding day kicked off at the Shrine of the Sacred Heart in Baltimore where they had a beautiful church ceremony. Then we all moved to the Mt. Washington Mill Dye House where their green, gold, and ivory details sparkled under the glow of one hundred string lights. Julie and Mario couldn't have asked for a more love-filled day, and we are so happy that we got to celebrate them! Julie and Mario, thank you both so much for allowing us to take part in your spectacular day! You two are so fantastic in every way, and we couldn't be more excited for you two! Cheers to the future! Fun stuff from the day! Julie's pearl necklace came from her grandmother, who got it from Julie's grandfather on their first anniversary! Julie had a small heart made out of pearls from her mom's garter sewn into her dress. We incorporated Julie's baby shoes into her wedding details! That was definitely a first for us :D. Their hashtag for the evening was #RomeoandJulieT. How cute is that?! Julie's bouquet featured two charms of her grandparents. Mario and Julie had an almost cake smash after their cake cutting. Mario got a little bit of cake on Julie and Julie tried, but was unsuccessful in getting him back, haha! Julie had ordered her shoes way back in July...

Not only did Peter and Sydney have the most gorgeous weather for their wedding, they also had the most stunning venue: Celebrations at the Bay! We love Celebrations, not because it's on the water and has fabulous views, but because they really take care of the couple on their wedding day. I mean, don't get me wrong, the views also make it an easy favorite, but the staff is just incredible! The Celebrations crew weren't the only people that made the day fantastic. Peter and Sydney's family and friends made sure that the bride and groom had everything they needed for the big day. There were so many laughs, hugs, and even some tears (happy ones of course). It is always so much fun to see the dynamics of a family on a wedding day, and Peter and Sydney definitely have some great family dynamics!  Peter & Sydney - Oh my goodness, you two! You both are so wonderful and made Shawn and I feel like family on the big day! It took all of our strength not to put our cameras down and jump on the dance floor with you both, haha! We have loved getting to know you over the last few months, it's been an absolute joy and we cannot wait to see where life takes you two! Congratulations! Fun things from the day! Syndey's mom put together all of the bouquets. Everyone thought the silk flowers were real! So good! Peter & Sydney...

We are kicking off September with Kylie and Nicki's gorgeous wedding at Rose Hill Manor in Leesburg, Virginia! Even with the weather being a bit warm, their day was total perfection from the start. So often during planning, a couple can forget to incorporate their personalities into the details of the day. However, for Kylie and Nicki that was not the case! They had their sophisticated color palette and gorgeous florals, but then they also had nods to their two cats popping up throughout the day. These two had the perfect balance to their day that truly encompassed them as individuals and as a couple.  Kylie & Nicki, thank you both so much for allowing us to capture your gorgeous day. You two are such a fun loving and remarkable pair, and that is only strengthened by your fabulous family and friends! We felt like we had known you two for ages by the end of the night, and we are so excited for this next chapter in your relationship! Cool things from the day! Nicki wore his Naval Academy ring for the ceremony and then his grandfather's ring during the reception. Kylie's maid of honor's speech included various numbers throughout it, and she even got lottery tickets for Kylie & Nicki using those numbers! Spread throughout the reception space were photos of their family and friends on their wedding days. Their favors for their guests were tiny cat figurines! So flippin' cute! Kylie and Nicki perfectly...

What is there to say about Lilli and Miles' wedding day except for WOW! From start to finish there was no shortage of love surrounding this incredible couple plus absolutely gorgeous scenery. Seriously, I always forget how stunning Dulany's Overlook is until we are pulling up. It's unquestionably one of our favorite wedding venues in Maryland! I don't think Lilli and Miles could have asked for a more perfect day to get married. The clouds were rolling in, the florals were bright, and their guests were next level. Following their first kiss under the chuppah, all of their guests rushed forward to parade these two through their recessional. There was jumping, singing, and tons of cheering for Lilli and Miles, and if I didn't have a job to do I would have soaked up all of that happiness. Their friends and family kickstarted Lilli and Miles' wedding day in the best possible way: showing and demonstrating their unwavering support. Lilli and Miles, thank you so incredibly much for allowing us to take part and witness your gorgeous day. Your wedding is one that we will never forget. Your energy and love were all on such magnificent display, and we couldn't be happier for you two. It goes without saying that your family and friends are also just as spectacular as you two are and they are lucky to have you in their lives. We are honored to have played such a small role in your monumental wedding day!  Neat...
