We had our first wedding in 2020 and it was definitely different than originally planned. However, Zach and Sydney’s small wedding celebration was just as special and beautiful. Especially because the wedding took place in the front yard of Sydney’s childhood home! Because of the gathering restrictions of 10 people or less, they chose to only have their parents and siblings at the ceremony. Thankfully because of technology, they were able to Zoom the rest of their wedding guests in to watch!
This post took a little longer than normal because of how busy we were this past fall! We had an incredible wedding season in 2019 and worked with so many amazing couples. I wanted to showcase some of our favorite images from the season. Each wedding was so different and capturing the different love stories is a joy!
What a year! In 2019 we shot 15 weddings, 10 engagement sessions, 45 family sessions, 12 maternity sessions, and 21 newborn sessions. So many amazing clients and relationships we had the honor to capture! I love doing this behind the scenes post every year to show you all what the environment was like where the images were taken and the different ways we get our shots.
Our last wedding of the year was a success! Scott and Taylor said, “I do” at the McDonogh Chapel with their family and friends in attendance. During the wedding sweet little Bo kept walking up to the altar and wanted to be a part of the ceremony! It was adorable. After the ceremony, everyone headed to the Elkridge Country Club for dinner and dancing. It was a wonderful evening.
William and Jennifer exchanged beautiful vows in front of their friends and family at their home church on the perfect October day. After the ceremony, they both were teary-eyed with joy in becoming husband and wife! The fun continued as they danced the night away at Hayfields Country Club with delicious food and cake.
Christian and Chelsea are married! These two tied the knot overlooking the water at Herrington on the Bay with their friends and family surrounding them. There were gorgeous wooden tables, tall candles, and beautiful florals throughout the reception. The cherry on top was halfway through the reception, Christian’s brother surprised him at the wedding. Their family didn’t think they would see him at the wedding because he was getting deployed to Afghanistan, so it was a wonderful surprise that he had a few more weeks before he left!
Kirsten and Dan are married!! These two CrossFitters tied the knot at the beautiful Accelerator Space in Baltimore with their closest family and friends surrounding them. Dan proposed on a boat in Annapolis so sharing a first look and personal vows before the Ceremony was very special. It was a gorgeous October day with lots of tears and laughter! Their two pups Pippin and Rumpy were also in attendance to watch their parents become husband and wife.
Lloyd and Madeline said, “I do” as the sun was setting at Wye RIver Conference Center in Queenstown, Maryland. Before the ceremony, they shared a beautiful first look and exchanged personal vows with one another. There were happy tears and many laughs! The details were extraordinary with brushed gold flatware, rose wine glasses, and greenery designed by Steelcut Flower Co..
Cameron and Kelsey are married!! It was a romantic and beautiful summer afternoon as these two said, “I do” under the weeping willow trees at Pond View Farm. Cameron and Kelsey shared a sweet First Look and were full of joy when we were taking their portraits. The slate blue bridesmaid dresses and poppy flowers in the bouquet made for simple and classic details. Kelsey’s mom also hand-cut all of the circular menus on the plates and designed the craft beer sign! It was an amazing day!
Chris and Lindy are MARRIED!! The forecast was calling for rain and they were nervous they would have to have the ceremony inside, but it decided to clear up right before Lindy walked down the aisle! When these two are together they are in their own little world and it is beautiful to watch. They had a morning wedding which meant it was only fitting to have brunch for lunch! The custom omelet and pancake/waffle bar was delicious. It was an amazing wedding!
Angel and Matty are MARRIED! Our first wedding of the year and it was a unique and beautiful day. Matty and Angel tied the knot and celebrated with friends and family on a gorgeous April day at the 2640 Space in Baltimore. Both of their dogs were also included in the celebration! The two pups walked down the aisle in adorable little dresses. They were so excited to see their humans become a family!
The last of our 2018 favorites! Each of these weddings were very different from each other but all incredible in their own way. I love seeing the way each of the couples display their style through their wedding details, colors, and decor! This is just the beginning of their love stories, and it was an honor to capture each one. It was also wonderful to work with each of their families! We continue to add new friends to our AGP couples each year and it makes our job such a blessing.
This was our last wedding of the year and it was one for the books! Thomas and Kristen got married outside on the most beautiful fall September day. They exchanged letters before the Ceremony without seeing each other and it was adorable! After the Ceremony, we took portraits in the golden field and even got a few shots with the owl that was on site that day.
John and Emily are married!! There was a lot of sweet anticipation leading up to this day. These two were so excited to become husband and wife and now they are officially Mr. and Mrs. Winkler! John and Emily tied the knot under the weeping willow trees on a beautiful summer day at Pond View Farm. There were many tears of happiness in the crowd as John and Emily shared their vows! It was a wonderful celebration.
