Love Story: Amy and Eric’s Rustic Chic Ellicott City Wedding

Love, Stories Documented, Wedding  //  25th September 2012

Leading up to their wedding, we pretty much screamed with excitement every single time we came across a Facebook update from Amy! ;) She hinted about the rustic chic details they were pulling together for their wedding and even showed a sneak peek of their cake toppers customized from Etsy, complete with a fireman’s hat for Eric and a cute bow for Amy. Both Amy and Eric were so excited for their big day that Ryan and I could not wait to be a part of the excitement!

As we walked into the bridal suite, we found ourselves surrounded by a super sweet bridal party who had nothing but excitement for Amy and Eric. There was a calmness in the air. A calmness that created relaxation.  Amy was so relaxed she kept asking everyone else if she could do anything for them! ;)… that is just Amy’s personality shining through!

Always caring about other people, it was amazing to witness a special day for Amy and Eric to focus only on each other! We are so incredibly excited for Amy and Eric.  From their rustic chic details to their sweet sweet personalities and the relaxed atmosphere… Amy and Eric’s day was like a dream! ;) Congratulations Amy and Eric! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to capture your love story! We wish you nothing but the very best now and forever!

Huge thanks to everyone who played a roll in making Amy and Eric’s day so special!

Love Story: Dena and Kevin’s Old Mill Wedding

Love, Stories Documented, Wedding  //  17th September 2012

She stood inside a small room, out of sight of their guests as her father stood guard nearby. Soft tears began to form as her sister quickly tried to distract her.  Laugher followed but the tears quickly returned. Time moved slowly as the last few guests scurried to their seats. With each moment, the emotions become stronger, until at last, she whispered, “does this happen to all brides,” and laughter once again filled the air.  It was a perfect moment, and with a deep breath she was ready to walk down the aisle to her future husband.

The music changed and it was her turn to enter the church. As she approached, his face lit up with joy. Finally the moment had arrived in which he could call her his wife.  His smile was infectious and just a glimpse of it quickly turned the tears on her face into a bright smile full of love.  This moment was perfect, this moment they would be husband and wife.

Congratulations Dena and Kevin! Your wedding was beautiful and your reception was AMAZING! From the perfect venue to the candy apple favors, it was truly a night to remember! We hope you are enjoying your European adventures! We can’t wait to share the rest of your photos with you when you get back!

Thanks to all of the amazing vendors that help make Dena and Kevin’s night perfect!!!

Love Story: Jennifer and Michael’s Linganore Winery Wedding

Love, Stories Documented, Wedding  //  14th September 2012

As she received the finishing touches to her makeup, a special delivery came to the room.    It was a little gray box with a perfect green bow attached.  The card spelled out Jennifer in Michael’s best handwriting!  ;)

As laughter filled the room and the ladies chatted about “girly things,” Jennifer held onto her special gift.  She held on tight just waiting for that special moment where she could take it all in and soak in the words that Michael had written to her.

As the tears rolled down her face everyone asked with excitement what was in the box.  She held it up with a big smile on her face.  “It’s a key.”  Jennifer explained that she always says she believes there is a key out there for every single person’s heart.  And she was lucky enough to find Michael, who held her key!

Jennifer and Michael rock our worlds!  Seriously, they made me cry during our initial consultation with them as they shared their AMAZING engagement story.  ;)  They live life passionately and when they are with each other it is literally like fireworks going off!  They are meant to be and we are certainly thankful that Michael held the key to Jennifer’s heart… and that they found each other!

Jennifer and Michael… THANK YOU for being YOU!  Thank you for your love and passion and for sharing that with us!  We love you guys and are so excited for your new lives together as Mr. and Mrs.!  CONGRATS!!

Love Story: Lisa and Matt’s Peabody Library Wedding

Stories Documented, Wedding  //  10th September 2012

It all began at a wedding.  For Lisa, it was her sister’s wedding.  For Matt, it was his best friend’s wedding.  And it just so happens that Lisa’s sister was marrying Matt’s best friend.  Lisa was the Maid of Honor and Matt was the Best Man.  Their bridal party duties brought them together as they helped plan the most perfect day for these special people in their lives.

Their bridal party duties brought them close, but it was their hearts that made it impossible to seperate.  It was meant to be that Lisa’s sister, Wendy and Matt’s best friend, Chris would tie the knot and bring two of the closest people in their lives together!  Lisa and Matt’s love blossomed even after their bridal party duties ended!  And soon they asked Wendy and Chris to stand by their sides as they pledged their own love to each other!

Lisa and Matt’s love story is one that we just absolutely adore!  You never know when you are going to meet that special someone and it just makes us smile knowing that Lisa and Matt found love surrounded by love!

Lisa and Matt’s wedding day was beautiful.  The Peabody Library is one of those venues that is just breathtaking… any way you look at it!  We LOVED shooting their First Look in the library before it was even set up for their ceremony!  With Matt’s love for architecture and Lisa’s love of poetry, I can’t think of a more perfect place to celebrate their love story!

Thank you so much Lisa and Matt for giving us the opportunity to capture your wedding day!  It was beautiful in so many ways!  We wish you nothing but the very best now and always!!!
