Belmont Country Club Wedding – Congratulations Laura and Trevor!

What started as a very early morning turned into a glorious wedding day for Laura and Trevor.  I have loved ever minute of working with Laura and Trevor and it was a joy to photograph their happiness!  Belmont Country Club provided a lovely backdrop for both getting ready and the reception.  I just love the old mansion with all it’s character!  Congratulations Laura and Trevor!

Laura was such a gorgeous bride!
Her grandmother’s bracelet graced the bouquet.
Laura adores a picture of her parents walking down the isle at their wedding.  This moment is pretty special too! 
A little reference to Paris in the wedding theme.
Champagne they’ve kept from a vacation 3 years ago just for this moment.

Maryland Wedding Photographer – Congratulations Mary and Mark!

Mary and Mark had a lovely backyard wedding celebration in Salisbury, Maryland at her aunt and uncle’s house. It was intended to be a low key, low stress affair but with lots of wonderful help from friends and family, it grew a bit. But the day was still the perfect start to Mark and Mary’s life together, with many heartfelt moments and personal touches.  One of my favorite details were the bird nests that the ring bearers carried down the isle with the rings tucked securely inside.  And the best part about a backyard wedding in August, is the after party in the swimming pool!
