Julie and Eric got married at the historic Tremont Grand in the heart of Baltimore. The first time they saw each other on their wedding day turned out to be a very tender moment. Their traditional jewish ceremony was held in the Marble room with the reception in the Corinthian room. Family and friends had a great time and were even treated to cookies from the bakery where Julie and Eric had their first date. The beautiful floral arrangements were done by Wicked Willow.

Maggie and Ghani were married at the Westin Arlington Gateway on July 24th.  They had an Arabic wedding ceremony to join them in matrimony.  There were lots of traditional Arabic wedding details, from the beads to the candles.  After the ceremony the couple and I spent some time doing pictures in and around the Westin.  The lobby and the outdoor courtyard allowed the couple to get some time alone after the ceremony, and at the same time for some great moments to be captured.  Then we were off to their first dance and the rest of their reception.  Congratulations again guys!

Julie and Jon (or Epstein, as the bride refers to him by his last name) met at my alma mater — the University of Maryland. He helped her fix her computer. She lost a bet with him that resulted in a dinner date. Many dates and IT sessions later, they were married on a not-too-humid Saturday evening at the Ceresville Mansion in Frederick. The rain that threatened the forecast all week came early, allowing their outdoor nuptials to go off as scheduled. Their day was filled with the kinds of personal touches that make me love my job: Julie honored the memory of her late mother with a purse fashioned out of fabric from her mother’s wedding dress and with a heart-shaped pendant holding her mother’s photograph pinned within the layers of her own wedding gown. Guests couldn’t help but laugh when she modified her wedding vows, ignoring the traditional wording offered by the cantor and saying instead, “I, Julie, take you, Epstein ….” And the best man had the crowd roaring with his toast, including when he asked anyone in the room who had ever called the groom for IT support to raise their hands. Dozens of hands around the room went up, including, obviously, the bride’s. Congratulations, Julie and Jon! It was a pleasure to be with you on your wedding day.

Rachel and Patrick were married at Rock Hill Plantation House a beautiful location with gorgeous views in every direction. They wanted a casual, elegant theme for their July 4th wedding and the plantation house was the perfect spot. The ceremony was followed by a really fun reception. Even the kids had a good time with the nearby animals that served as a mini petting zoo. Their close friend, Sean Peoples, served as the MC and DJ for the evening making sure everyone had a good time on the dance floor.

Scott and Brittany were married at The Lodge at Little Seneca Creek on June 20th, which happened to be Father’s Day.  Brittany did all the flowers herself, each table had a different centerpiece which was really fun.  Brittany and Scott also knew the best way to get a bunch of Father’s to attend a wedding on Father’s day was to offer beer at the ceremony, and BBQ for dinner.  The ceremony was performed by a family friend, and included a part that brought Brittany’s daughter in, letting her know that she would always be a part of Scott and Brittany’s family.  Which I thought was a fitting way for Scott to spend his father’s day.  While we were out shooting some fun shots of the newlyweds we all got a reminder that parenting never ends even at a wedding, when in the background of the dip shot i spotted Brittany’s and Scott’s daughter with a couple other kids from the wedding running across the field to go checkout the woods.  But i think having the kids in the background will give them a great reminder of the joys of their new family.  Later at the reception the couple opted for Georgetown Cupcakes instead of a cake, and they were a big hit with all the guests, especially the kids.  I wish all three of them many years of happiness as a new family!

Christie and Greg were married on June 12th, 2010 in Phoenix Maryland.  Christie made her final preparations for the wedding at her parents house, surrounded by her team of bridesmaids, her parents, and the best behaved dog.  The ceremony was held at St John’s of Sweet Air and Greg’s face lit up as soon as he saw Christie being escorted down the isle by her father.  After the ceremony we spent some time doing formals at the church, and then the newlyweds sped of to the reception in a Plymouth.  We then arrived at Hillendale Country Club for the reception.  We spent a little more time out on the golf course taking some photos with Christie and Greg, and the bridal party also joined in for a couple pictures.  Then we went inside so the reception could kick off with dancing from the couple, and then with their parents. Congrats guys, it was a pleasure documenting your wedding.

Luckily the rain held off and we were able to do a few fun portraits at Lafayette Park near the White House. Once at The Arts Club of Washington located in the James Monroe House family and friends gathered for a beautiful courtyard ceremony. Thanks to Kimberly Thompson of Serendipity Events and the floral staff at Amaryllis for creating an elegant event from start to finish.

Emily…or Emi, as her friends call her…and William were married at the stately Glenview Mansion in Rockville on June 5th.  First off, it was wonderful to see how absolutely involved Charlie, Emi’s dad, was with the planning and execution of the entire day.  You could totally see in his eyes from the start how important this day was to him.  Those that know William and Emi well know that they are both very interested in cartoons and fantasy stories of all sorts and in a lot of ways, their wedding day turned into a fairy tale of their very own.  The mansion was beautiful, the weather could not have turned out to be more perfect, and the ceremony in the gardens was every bit the dream that Emi had of her special day.  There were plenty of laughter and tears during the ceremony, but once the reception started, it was nothing short of dance fever!  The dance floor was never empty from the start of the party til the very end.  Congratulations Emi and William and thanks so much for allowing me to be a part of your fair tale day!
