Gaylord National Harbor Hotel Wedding Pictures – The Bride

I’m almost not sure where to start sharing Jenn and Bill’s wedding, and you will soon see why! I’m trying hard not to show 1,000 images, but it will certainly be unfolding in several posts. Jenn really thought of everything, the day was beautiful, personal, sentimental, unique, and the celebration that every marriage should be!

Jenn has these lovely beaded blue jewelry boxes that worked perfectly to showcase her accessories. Even though the grandmother in the picture wasn’t with us, Jenn had her wedding portrait and engagement ring, as well as her garter and lipstick from her wedding. This made it feel like she was part of Jenn’s long-awaited wedding day.

I love the juxtaposition of the new hankie with her grandmothers garter.

This grandmother was very special to Jenn. Jenn holds her wedding portrait taken as she is exiting the car. We recreated that image for Jenn as she arrived at the church in the 1941 Cadillac Limousine.
