Katie & Steve’s Romantic Wedding at Mountain Branch

Katie and Steve’s day was absolutely gorgeous and so much fun to be a part of! I’m so honored that they asked us to document their wedding! My mom and I have actually known Katie and her family for many years now – before my mom retired last year, Katie’s dad was her Principal at Harford Tech!! :) Harford Tech would hold a crab feast for the staff in the summer, and I remember as kids hanging out with Katie at them while all the adults sat around ;) And now she’s married, and it was so much fun to be a part of this celebration!!! When Katie and I first met up last year, she and Steve were still living in Ohio since his job had taken them that way. & Before the wedding, they had the opportunity to move back to Maryland (which I’m sure made some of the planning a bit easier!).  I have to say that toasts are probably one of my favorite parts of the reception because they always reveal a little more about the couple, and Katie & Steve’s MOH & Bestman nailed it! Plenty of fun childhood stories and celebrating how much Katie and Steve have been through already to get here. It was truly such a beautiful day – the weather was perfect and every detail was stunning! Katie had also shared with me from the start how she envisioned a romantic and elegant day, and every bit of it really was just that! (Please see: CHAMPAGNE FOUNTAIN! & the most gorgeous cake!) Katie & Steve, I am so happy for you both – thank you so much for letting us celebrate with you!!
