Jessica & Shane’s Blush & Book-themed Baltimore Wedding

November 21, 2016 · Leave a Comment

It’s hard to believe that 2016 is winding down and that it’s almost time to be gearing up for the holidays (okay I might be more than a little ready to do some decorating but I’m at least going to wait until after Thanksgiving! ;) ). Especially since I’m delivering their stunning wedding album this week, it’s extra exciting to be sharing favorites from this gorgeous day! It feels like it could’ve been just a week ago when I got to witness Jess & Shane’s beautiful wedding at Elkridge Furnace Inn in September. I’ve loved getting to know this hard-working, smart, and caring couple, and it was such an honor to get to document their wedding! The details were classic, and personalized (check out the adorable painted bricks from the Baltimore locations was lots of meaning to their relationship!) Their vows were written by Jess & Shane, with tons of heart and a little humor, and the dance floor was packed with friends & family that were thrilled to be celebrating these two! I am so happy for Jess & Shane, and will always remember what a fun wedding this was to be a part of!! Congratulations on your beautiful wedding & a love-filled marriage!!

I loved that the looking out from the hotel, you could see a little bit of the area of Patterson Park where Jessica & Shane got engaged and where we took some of their engagement photos!

Jessica’s mom actually made her beautiful sash! Loved all the personal elements like this!

Before everyone gets ready to say ✌️ to 2020, Before everyone gets ready to say ✌️ to 2020, here’s a look back to NYE last year! The most gorgeous December day as Corinne and Zach celebrated their marriage in a sweet intimate ceremony at Artifact Coffee! Loved capturing this day for these two and so grateful that 2020 gave us the chance to reunite again when they helped officiate their close friends Lesley and John’s intimate wedding. Happy happy anniversary Corinne and Zach! Happy first year of marriage, and here’s to many more happy and healthy years to come!! 💗
