Beth & Ben had the most gorgeous and heartfelt ceremony at Woodlawn Manor in Sandy Spring, MD.  It was a bright, beautiful, sunshine-y day and everything felt so fresh and full of summer!  Beth & Ben are super easy-going people who just love to laugh with their friends and their joy really infused the whole day!  And thank you, as always, to my second photographer Dana, who always does an amazing job!

Dana and I loved these little pixie straws they had for the specialty cocktail – lemonade, muddled mint, vodka & club soda – yum!

Last Thursday, I had the pleasure of taking a very scenic trip out to Fort Lewis Lodge in Millboro, VA. It’s absolutely gorgeous out there and the weather couldn’t have been more beautiful for Melissa & John’s wedding!

These flowers were magnificent and so fitting for the wedding – I loved how Melissa’s bouquet and that her her maid of honor were the same color scheme, but also so unique and different from each other.
