Charlie & Keri :: Intimate Ellicott City Fourth of July Wedding

August 19, 2014 · Leave a Comment

One of my favorite parts about being a wedding photographer is getting to see how each couple creates a wedding that is totally unique and their own. Every couple chooses the traditions (or makes their own) that they feel makes sense for them and I love getting to see all the variation! Charlie & Keri’s wedding was especially sweet – an intimate ceremony with their families in beautiful historic downtown Ellicott City on the Fourth of July. The quiet streets outside the courthouse made such a nice backdrop and their ceremony was emotional and heart felt, plus Keri’s son Sean got to be a part of it too :) Everyone was so easy going and great to work with – I loved getting to spend such a nice morning with this awesome group! Congratulations Charlie & Keri – so happy to have been their to document such a sweet day for you! I still smile thinking about how touching your ceremony was! So excited to be sharing some favorites :)

These two are sooo adorable together. I love the way that Charlie looks at Keri – so much love in his eyes :) Plus all the historic stone buildings and summery trees made for some great backdrops!

Once family arrived, we all headed to this gorgeous porch area off the courthouse where everyone gathered around. And I forgot to mention, but Charlie’s brother was their officiant for the ceremony, making it that much more personal and sweet

You can’t have a Fourth of July wedding without some sparklers! :) Such a fun way to celebrate!

After the ceremony we worked our way down to Ellicott City’s Main Street where they had more friends and family meet them for a lunch reception :) But before that, more adorable photos of these two! The next one on the right is a favorite! Makes my heart happy!
