Laura & Drew planned such a gorgeous wedding in the mountains of western Maryland, anticipating spectacular fall foliage and just enough nip in the air to get everyone excited and ready for hot cider – I couldn’t wait! So when the weather turned out very cold (36 degrees!!!) and rainy, we were all a bit disappointed. But Laura & Drew are such warm and cheerful people and their happiness was enough to put a smile on everyone’s face!

After the ceremony, Laura & Drew climbed a narrow little staircase to ring the church bells. They had a moment to themselves before exiting through the church and the arch of swords!

Their friends were kind enough to decorate Laura & Drew’s car with “just married” signs and plenty of streamers and glowing stars – it was so cute!
