Amanda & Brandon are married! | Grey Rock Mansion, Baltimore County Wedding

What a fantastic way to start off the 2015 wedding season with this sweet couple! I am so thrilled that Amanda and Brandon asked me to capture their beautiful wedding day this March (thank you to another fabulous Marlayna Photography couple, Kaitlyn & Dan for the connection!) Amanda & Brandon were married at a venue that literally makes me squeal with joy! Grey Rock Mansion is such a stunning location, and even though it had been raining most of the morning and afternoon, Mother Nature cooperated and cut that out just before we started photographing! :) And even with damp grounds, Grey Rock has such an impressive porch and gorgeous interior, there were no shortage of photo ops! Amanda and Brandon are such a sweet couple and I loved even getting to sneak a few of their moments where they could just take it all in. & Of course I LOVED seeing the dance floor get packed thanks to a really awesome and outgoing guest/dance star, and the excellent DJ-ing by Dave Holmes of Event Entertainment (who, fun fact.. is now going to be mine and Adam’s DJ!! woo!!) And to cap this great night off, Amanda and Brandon had a sparkler send-off! Such a great time with you two and your guests! Congratulations again Mr & Mrs Brown!!

There were tons of beautiful handmade details at their wedding! Especially these unique and lovely centerpieces, put together by Amanda’s mom and aunt! At the end of the evening, guests at each table were selected to take them home! What a great gesture :)

But first.. before things got going, this incredible fog rolled into the tent! And I have to just say thank you to Amanda & Brandon for humoring me, and being totally willing to capture some beautiful portraits of the two of them!

Their sweet first dance was followed by a toast by Amanda’s dad – even sweeter was how he teared up so quickly! So much love :)
