Congratulations again, Kristen + Eric, your wedding was an absolute joy to be a part of. Your excitement and energy are contagious; I hope you continue dancing all night long for decades to come!!
laura + garrison | a vibrant summer wedding at the Accelerator Space
/On the last Saturday in August, it was perfectly warm (but not sweltering hot like almost every other day in August has been!), the sun was shining with bright fluffy clouds in the sky and it felt like the world was ready and waiting for this day, when Laura and Garrison got to celebrate their love story in the most beautiful way, surrounded by so many friends and family…
These two are a constant ray of sunshine, a perfect [red-headed :)] team and a couple that bring joy to so many friends and family! I could barely narrow down my favorites to a reasonable amount, so enjoy allllllll of these special moments from their best day ever… sorry, not sorry! I can’t stop thinking about how fun and gorgeous their day was!
7 UNFORGETTABLE MOMENTS + DETAILS FROM LAURA + GARRISON’S SUMMER ACCELERATOR SPACE WEDDING:
That dress!!! It twirled like perfection, had pockets and gorgeously delicate lace with a train that was lightweight yet elegant and classic all at the same time.
The groomsmen’s pillow fight in one of the suites right before they left the Revival Baltimore… groomsmen goals!!!
Laura and the ladies got dressed and ready at the Backus House in Mt. Vernon which was the same place her parents had their ceremony and reception, years ago. I love it when architecture is combined with meaningful places that provide the most perfect backdrop for photos that tell the story of your day.
Their first look — you need to see Garrison’s face when he turned around to see Laura (scroll down)!
Taking portraits in Mt. Vernon; both L+G’s couple’s portraits as well as the entire wedding party… the architecture, Washington Monument and surrounding cobblestone streets have so much texture and European character.
With the Accelerator Space decked out in bright and vibrant summery pink, peach, coral and orange florals and greenery on the metal wall, it felt like a lush garden mixed with an industrial chic wonderland.
The sun didn’t cooperate at sunset, but that didn’t stop us from taking advantage of flattering golden hour light… Julie took some really fun photos using motion blur as Laura twirled on the patio!
Congratulations again, cuties!! It was an absolute honor to be a part of your wedding and get to know you both and your families over the last 2 years. I hope you have an incredible time on your honeymoon — you deserve every drink and moment of relaxation in the sun!

ashley + nat | a wyndridge farm wedding full of love, fun and twirls of joy
/On a perfectly fluffy-cloud-filled Friday in August, Nat and Ashley got married at Wyndridge Farm in Dallastown, PA. This moment below perfectly sums up how it all unfolded at one of the most picturesque farm wedding venues with a couple that loves to be silly, sweet and full of the most excitement and passion for their best day ever!
If you don’t know Ashley and Nat, you may not know how much they love soccer, how easygoing and loving they are with each other, how much Ashley is a kid at heart (she loves Disney and Hogwarts so much - their ceremony mentioned Pooh) and how close she is to her Dad...
Here are the 3 things I couldn’t get enough of during their wedding day:
The honest emotion that showed through during each part of the day… first looks, ceremony, speeches during the reception… A+N, you deserve the best and have incredible support and love from so many in your corner!
THAT DRESS!
The fact that every time we went to take their portraits, something silly was happening before or after the moment I was anticipating. I LOVED IT!
BONUS: Slushies enjoyed on the dance floor!
