kristen + leo | a multicultural wedding at mt. washington mill dye house

On a bright, sunny Thursday in early June, Kristen + Leo became husband and wife! Their wedding was one full of romance, fun and a celebration that brought both of their families together in a way that honored Leo’s hispanic heritage and cultural traditions.

K+L got ready at the Four Seasons Baltimore with their first look on a private part of the promenade before heading up to Mt. Washington Mill Dye House for their ceremony and reception… here are some early favorites to enjoy!

7 UNFORGETTABLE DETAILS AND MOMENTS FROM K+L’S DYE HOUSE WEDDING:

1. Leo wore a custom Christopher Schafer suit and had his ring inscribed with “Love of My Life” which eludes to Kristen often saying to Leo "love of my life, father of my cat"… :)

2. Kristen wore 2 gorgeous dresses; the first being this Hayley Paige Fleur de Lis floral embroidered ballgown with a deep sweetheart neckline and my favorite detail being the open keyhole back. The second was the modern, chic and minimalist Giovanna gown by Sarah Seven. Both looked like they were made for her!!

3. They celebrated Leo’s family’s hispanic heritage with numerous thoughtful details and elements — their wedding ceremony was bilingual as was their DJ, so that every guest and family member felt welcomed. They also had agua fresca ready for guests at the courtyard ceremony!

4. La Hora Loca began about an hour before the end of the reception and it was one of the most energetic, fun and celebratory ways to party together — neon glow sticks, streamers, loud music and inflatable decor came out to add to the festive feel!

Congratulations again, lovebirds! There were so many incredible moments, it’s so hard to narrow down a favorite; your wedding day was unforgettable in every way and we were so grateful to be a part of it! Cheers to lots of love, tasty meals and the perfect blend of quiet, relaxed moments and loud, fun family celebrations together in the future!

erin + nick | a floral-filled and heartfelt backyard wedding in maryland

There were so many incredible moments and details to love about Erin + Nick’s micro wedding, but my favorite may be how far they’ve come together, from their first meeting in sixth grade! 13 years later to the day they officially told each other how they felt, they were married in the backyard where Nick grew up and his parents still live.

6 UNFORGETTABLE ELEMENTS OF THIS
BACKYARD WEDDING:

1. June 13, 2007 was their first date. June 13, 2020 was the day they got married. 13 is Nick’s lucky number… and probably Erin’s a bit now too ;).

2. Erin’s floral print wedding dress from Lulu’s (it’s this one!)

3. The hanging white flowers atop the gazebo made for such a stunning ceremony backdrop - love the simplicity of all white florals.

4. They asked each guest to write them a message and include a photo so that they could all “be there in spirit with us” (scroll down to see the seated porch photo!) and their family assembled and arranged everyone of them into a book.

5. Nick’s best friend Ethan officiated the ceremony… they’ve known each other since 2 years old, when they moved to the same street.

6. Erin + Nick recited their own vows and then each of their parents read at the ceremony. Nick’s brother made a toast. With smaller weddings, meaningful and personalized details like that are possible! No rules anymore!

Congratulations again, Erin + Nick!! I couldn’t be happier for you two and am honored to have been able to document your incredibly sweet love story! Here’s to your first of two wedding day celebrations!
