holly + josh | a vibrant and joyful rainy Wyndridge Farm wedding in May

It was a rainy and unseasonably cool this Memorial Day weekend, but that didn’t stop Holly and Josh from having the biggest smiles on their faces as they got married at Wyndridge Farm in a ‘quirky, different, and not too traditional’ ceremony that was respectful and reflective of who they are as a couple and ended with a packed dance floor before dinner even started… what more could you ask for?!

Their love story began as a mutual friend started a monthly dinner party where a group of friends pick a theme and meet at someone's house to cook and eat together. They met at one of those, talked some more at one a few months later, and then had their first "I'm not sure if this is a date" date at IKEA. That date lasted 13 hours and included their first coffee together of many more to come…

“Before I met Josh, I made a list of things I desired and required in a partner. He checks every box… (and the list is hanging up next to his desk to remind him of that).”

6 REASONS WHY HOLLY + JOSH’S WYNDRIDGE FARM WEDDING WAS SO UNIQUE + MEMORABLE:

  1. Holly was an incredibly relaxed bride the morning of the wedding (and this candid photo below is one of my favorites - the Inn at Wyndridge had an air of calm excitement and anticipation as everyone got ready), despite the weather forecast forcing their outdoor ceremony to move indoors to Plan B… there was no shortage of love, smiles and witty jokes during their vows.

  2. Those colorful floral Jessica Simpson heels and their way too cute coffee mugs.

  3. Josh had his 3 piece suit custom designed, tailored and personalized by Baltimore Custom Clothiers; the buttons, lining and attention to detail were impeccable. He also wore it for their engagement photos at the Bromo Seltzer Clock Tower; it was so stylish and perfect (see more HERE)!

  4. Holly’s 90+ year old grandmother was her flower girl!

  5. They had a ringwarming station at their wedding ceremony for guests to hold and warm the rings with their best wishes before finding their seats.

  6. For dessert they sipped coffee and enjoyed a cannoli in lieu of a traditional cake - The Traveling Tap provided gourmet coffee drinks for all of their guests!

Holly’s grandmother was her flower girl and the sweetest, most joyful lady to be around!

When it was time for the ceremony, Holly’s close friend Adam married them; they exchanged vows that were heartfelt and hilarious while the rings were full of warmth and love. It was incredibly heartwarming to see so many friends and family ready to celebrate with these soulmates!

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!!!
