lauren + tony | a modern wedding at two industrial baltimore venues

On a bright and warm Friday in June, Lauren and Tony not only became Mr. + Mrs. Assadi, but they hosted the biggest and best party they could have ever dreamed of attending!

Lauren got ready in their Harbor Point apartment with views of the water and the city down below while Tony got ready at his brother’s house in Canton; both were modern, well-lit and spacious but most importantly, filled with so much joyful energy with their family and best friends surrounding them.

Before Lauren’s dad came to their apartment for their father daughter first look, we stepped out onto the balcony and took bridal portraits of Lauren and her lace bridal wings… it left us speechless before their first look on the water in Harbor East and ceremony on the Frederick Douglass pier, framed by historic ships.

Enjoy these early (and too many because I couldn’t narrow them down!) favorites from Lauren and Tony’s wedding day!

THE 5 UNFORGETTABLE DETAILS AND MOMENTS FROM LAUREN + TONY’S MODERN, COCKTAIL STYLE BALTIMORE WEDDING RECEPTION:

1. Their chic sense of style: specifically Lauren’s bridal wings, made from lace from her mom’s wedding dress (!), her bridesmaids in mismatched shades of light blue (her MOH sister was in a gorgeous floral patterned dress and both a bridesmaid and another sister wore a jumpsuit… LOVE!) and Tony’s classic tux with a fun pocket square fabric and cuff links that were a gift from Lauren on their first Valentine’s Day together; they say “from here to mars” in her handwriting

2. Their 240+ loved ones on the pier at their ceremony at Frederick Douglass officiated by Tony’s cousin Jamey and then the lounge seating and upscale vibe of the furniture throughout every single room of the Dye House at their cocktail style reception

3. Acoustic singer songwriter Brent Michael Wood arranged and performed a unique first dance song just for them

4. The hanging greenery above the head table against the textured, worn walls of the Mt. Washington Mill Dye House

5. Golden hour perfection under the arches where they got a chance to soak it all in as the sun set on their first official night as a married couple!!

Congratulations, Lauren + Tony! You did it… you hosted the most fun party ever and I hope you enjoyed every minute of this incredible day! Always remember to continue to savor and soak in the beautiful life you are building together. You have the love of so many friends and family surrounding you… from here to Mars… ;)

Naomi
