Our couple thought of having a large wedding,… or maybe just going to the courthouse. They decided on an intimate wedding and celebration with a small circle of friends. The Elkridge Furnace Inn was perfect for this.

Tanya:

“We found Elkridge Furnace Inn a week before a scheduled civil ceremony in court. We liked it so much, that we decided to move our ceremony to this venue. So we put our wedding together in 1 week. My friend did all the flowers. The dress I wore was a family dress from Belarus. My sister got married wearing this dress, I was happy to wear it on my special day, and we’ll keep it for our nieces and daughters:). Our friend invited both of us to her house for a cup of tea two years ago to give us a chance to meet each other. And it worked!!!”

They loved walking around the house and grounds. There are so many textures and colors!

Katie prepared for her wedding at their Canton home. Every detail was
carefully chosen. This included the small circular pin on her gown that was
from her aunt who passed away last year. She wore it so she could be with
Katie on her wedding day.

You may remember that we photographed a stunning AVAM wedding featuring the bride arriving to meet the groom by boat (Carrie and Adam’s Wedding!). Well we were not the only ones blown away by this beautiful couple and the excellent team of vendors who worked the event. Two websites, Charm City Wed and Hi-Fi Weddings, have featured this wedding (and our photos) on their sites. Check them out:

Liz and Alex at The Walters Art Museum

Posted on July 27, 2012 by Gary Jackson

Our couple had two great “visual” venues. The Hotel Monaco occupies a grand building that was originally the B&O Railroad headquarters in the early 1900s. It’s marble walls, columns and gold leaf accents are striking. Our bride also presents a striking figure in her San Patrick gown.

Liz reads a special note from Alex and subsequently needs to touch up her eye makeup!

Liz wanted to have her beloved dog in some pictures but protecting her lovely gown from a very active pooch took priority. The dog chew is not an accessory to go along with her purse!
