Bryan and Ashley at Chase Court and The Milton Inn, Maryland

Our couple chose to have an intimate wedding without the elaborate trappings of most large-scale events. They opted for a Chase Court Elopement package so that they could have their ceremony at this beautiful venue. They chose to have additional photography coverage for more extensive formals as well to document their subsequent dinner event at the Milton Inn.

It is not often that the groom is so outwardly emotional, and it is a very touching thing!

Such a sweet couple! Kelly had ALL the details planned out perfectly, even personalized hangars for her and each of her bridesmaids.

Brittany and Will at Cylburn Arboretum, Baltimore

Posted on December 21, 2012 by Gary Jackson

Brittany and Will are to be married next May and this engagement session provided them with some excellent images for everything from their wedding website to engagement announcement, and pictures at their reception. Just as importantly, it provided an opportunity to become more comfortable working with their photographer. There was time to experiment with different situations standing, sitting, leaning, running, laughing, and you name it. I couldn’t ask for a better couple or a better locale and I look forward to that day in May!

Dedeen and Karl at the George Peabody Library, Baltimore

It was a spectacular day in Baltimore’s Mount Vernon Place, not far from our couple’s historic neighborhood and just a few steps form the George Peabody Library, site of their wedding.

Their ceremony “in the round” allowed for guests to be seated very close to our couple and they positioned themselves so that guests saw their faces… this created a very intimate feeling for all.

The veil and cord ceremony is a Filipino wedding tradition at the end of the wedding. Pictured here, the veil sponsors place a white veil over the shoulders of the couple, symbolizing living under God’s protection and being clothed as one. peabody wedding ceremony bride and groom leaving ceremony bride and groom at wedding reception lit by purple lights purple red yellow orange bridal bouquet silver and purple reception table plate setting at peabody wedding reception wedding menu purple and silver swirled square wedding cake with purple orchids

As beautiful as the Peabody Library space is, creativity with up lighting and accent lights can dramatically change the look and feel of the room. Note the differences from the ceremony to the reception.
