It was a gorgeous day for a wedding – sunny and warm with a breeze! Kevin and Vanessa’s wedding was every bit as beautiful as the weather. I shot with Kelsey Thompson of kthompson photography and had the chance to enjoy scenic rural Maryland along the way!
Vanessa and her bridesmaids got ready at one of the bridesmaids’ homes in rural MD. On the drive there, Kelsey and I saw some fabulous photo opps! If you’re up for a shoot in front of vintage tractors and antique barns, with a few shots of the open plains, let us know!
Vanessa is gorgeous! There is no other way to put it – she just has this fantastically beautiful skin and long eyelashes and thick black hair – see for yourself!
Her sister, Pammy, had to button about a gazillion buttons on the back of Vanessa’s elegant Lazaro gown – but she was a trooper!
Vanessa and Kevin were so sweet with each other during the ceremony.
Afterwards, they stole one quiet, beautiful moment outside the church before their family and friends came out to congratulate them.
Vanessa’s dad is so happy!
The reception was at Antrim 1844 in Taneytown, MD. It was my first time shooting there and I loved it! The event coordinator there is such a great guy and the mansion and grounds are just amazing.
I loved these centerpieces – they’re so romantic and whimsical!
The speech Vanessa’s father gave was wonderful and so touching!
One thing about this family – they know how to dance! Seriously – by the end of the night, I wanted nothing but to run home and sign up for dance lessons. I don’t know the names of the dances they danced all night, but they were impressive! The father/daughter dance was not your traditional sweet and slow dance – they rocked that floor!
Okay, this is possibly my favorite cake cutting series ever.
The bouquet toss might be a little cheesy, but it never fails to amuse 
Parting shot of the night!
