erin + brandon | a romantic and timeless maryland wedding

Erin and Brandon had been planning to get married in June, but when the pandemic required their plans to shift, they not only changed their date, but had to change their venue and church as well. Erin sewed floral masks that coordinated with her bridesmaids’ dresses and bouquets in shades of pink while the week before the wedding, they decided to move their reception plans for a ballroom wedding, outside under a tent… these two have been through so much together before ever even walking down the aisle!

The one part of their wedding day that never changed was a location Erin had suggested to me for some of their portraits: the bridge along Paper Mill Rd. on the way to their venue. The architecture and design of the historic bridge is incredible: the entire structure is painted white with incredible lines and geometries to play with as a backdrop for photos… I was immediately OBSESSED and the photos we took here are EPIC!!

Erin had 2 pairs of wedding day shoes ready: sparkly silver Betsey Johnson heels that complimented her jewelry for the beginning part of the day and rose gold sparkly keds with pink laces that worked so well with all the shades of pink in her wedding flowers and photos on a bridge, of course…

Throughout the entire process, they handled all of the challenges thrown at them with so much grace and a positive attitude… but when you get to know Erin and Brandon, you realize that’s just how they are as people. Erin’s smile will light up any room she walks into and Brandon’s relaxed and caring demeanor brings a calm sensibility to every situation.

There’s something so classic about wedding photos in front of red church doors… right? But I also really love the contrast of the next spot we went to for portraits being on the bridge and so full of contrast, lines and shadow to create a unique, modern and creative look!

Cheers, newlyweds - you did it!! You’re married, you looked incredible, you had all the love of so many family and friends, with every last detail coming together so beautifully. While you made it look easy, I hope this is the last pandemic you’ll go through together! ;)

Here are some of the highlights and winter wedding inspiration that I can’t get enough of:

  • Laura’s faux fur wrap that provided a luxe look with her white and green winter bouquet full of dusty miller, silver brunia, roses, white ranunculus and a white king protea

  • Cesar getting ready with his groomsmen in the bowling alley of the Baltimore Country Club

  • dark emerald green velvet bridesmaids dresses from Jenny Yoo and BHLDN combined with groomsmen in custom navy Enzo suits and light green ties from Vineyard Vines

  • modern and lush wintergreen bouquets by Victoria Clausen Floral Events (who also designs and decorates the entire club for the holidays!)

  • choreographed dance moves during their first dance AND parent dances as the 8 piece Bachelor Boys Band rocked the dance floor all night

  • the second wedding in a row with a bride that changed into the prettiest jumpsuit (with an oversized bow on one shoulder) for the second half of the reception!

sneak peeks | elizabeth + donald's winter wedding at the baltimore country club

Elizabeth and Donald’s winter wedding at the Baltimore Country Club had the most incredibly chic, elegant and beautiful meaningful elements making up their day - I’m overjoyed to share these early favorites with you!

urban-row-photo-winter-wedding-baltimore-country-club_0010.jpg

You need to peek at this exquisite December wedding that had:

  • Jayce the pug as their dog of honor in a bowtie

  • an ivory, burgundy and gold festive holiday color palette

  • a bouquet of burgundy peonies, white anemones, white calla lilies + eucalyptus

  • Elizabeth’s grandmother’s fur stole

  • confetti cannons raining on the dance floor

urban-row-photo-winter-wedding-baltimore-country-club_0003.jpg
urban-row-photo-winter-wedding-baltimore-country-club_0002.jpg

And I also want to share a PSA that rain on your wedding does NOT mean disappointment and dreary photos - quite the opposite! With creative areas of cover, snuggling together to stay warm and clear umbrellas, it means we get to be more creative and you get the best luck… you know, because rain on your wedding day is good luck (coming from this husband and wife photography team that got married at a vineyard during a hurricane and still look back on it and laugh 10 years later)! ;)

Congratulations again, lovebirds! ps: Mariah Carey’s ‘All I Want for Christmas’ has always been one of my favorites to listen to this time of year and now memories of confetti swirling around as I hear it will always bring me back to your day!

alexis + logan | lavender and navy country club of maryland wedding

When Logan told me how the proposal story happened, I almost cried happy tears right then and there… “I realized that all I wanted to do was be with her as I stared out the window. I remember saying to myself "Well, that seems to be that...it's time to make sure I can always come home to her".

Logan, you can now officially always come home to Alexis - YAY! Your wedding day was one for the record books… I know your home will always be filled with so much humor, movie/Office quote references and plenty of fajita making nights. :)

A touch of classic detailing in the ringbearer’s seersucker light blue suit and lavender/navy bowtie - loved how Cohen’s Clothiers outfitted this little heartbreaker!!!

That moment when the fire department walks into your ceremony after the alarms were going off falsely multiple times… yup, that happened!

A cake topped with firemen legos because… see above!… an epic Pittsburgh cookie table and floss moves meant smiles all around! Seriously, we couldn’t love Alexis and Logan more if we tried - this couple had SO much fun at their Memorial Day weekend wedding even with clouds that threatened rain the entire time.

Cheers to you both and all the fun, lighthearted outlook you brought to the day… can we do it all over again next May? Minus the firemen, maybe. ;) It was an absolute dream to be part of your wedding!!!
