kelly + katherine | a spring wedding with delicate, lush blooms at the dye house

Kelly + Katherine’s wedding day was a love story that gave early spring vibes in every sense and overflowed with love, the biggest smiles and genuine, natural joy all day long…

…cozy, sweet, relaxed, sentimental and heartwarming at a venue full of exposed brick and stone with hanging bistro lights, a soft white floral ceremony arbor of hydrangeas, sweet peas, ranunculus, roses; reception tables set with sage green glass goblets, ribbed smoke gray glass votive candles and taper candles in a mauve/desert rose tone…

It was a bright and beautifully sunny day in mid-March with no clouds in the sky. Kelly and Katherine got ready together in the same hotel suite with their VIPs but chose to get dressed in separate rooms and share an intimate first look before heading out for portraits on the water.

Katherine’s dress had lace botanical appliques with a soft pink undertone while Kelly’s dress was a simple and modern satin dress in a halter top style – both dresses had pockets and both brides wore similar [unplanned!] hairstyles in a clean, low bun. Their letterpress invitation suite had soft sage green/gray text with an ivory envelope lined in a botanical print.

During their intimate indoor ceremony, both brides exchanged solid gold wedding bands against a backdrop of a minimalist metal arbor covered in all-white blooms, including delicate trailing pear blossoms. Mother Bradley has known Kelly’s family for 20+ years, marrying her brother before this; the sweetest moments during the ceremony included some of their guests standing up and sharing prayers as a lovely surprise to the couple.

Espresso martinis were passed during cocktail hour and muted earth toned garden spring linens covered the high-top courtyard tables. The vibe was relaxed, sophisticated and softly lit by a glow of candles and hanging bistro lights above…

Kelly + Katherine, there are not enough words to describe how much I enjoyed and am so grateful to have had the honor of documenting all the love and support that surrounded you on your wedding day — it was absolutely magical! You both are the kindest souls that deserve all the happiness in the world and make every room better by simply being in it.

I can’t wait to celebrate you every March 16 for years to come!!!

heather + geof | a flower-filled, romantic + intimate spring wedding at citron

On an unseasonably warm and (eventually) bright and sunny March Saturday, Heather & Geof were married at Citron, among their closest friends and family and it was a day filled with warmth in so many ways!

The day had a relaxing feel from the start at the Sagamore Pendry in Fells Point with Remy, their sweet little pup there for lots of sweet snuggles and smiles. When added to Heather’s impeccable sense of style, the way Geof looks at her, the TWO confetti tosses, glowing sun during the lakeside ceremony and warm wishes and memories shared during multiple toasts throughout their 6 course dinner, their wedding was absolutely incredible!

Enjoy these early highlights from Heather + Geof’s spring wedding at Citron, overlooking Quarry Lake…

3 HIGHLIGHTS FROM HEATHER + GEOF’S
PRE-CEREMONY MOMENTS AT THE PENDRY:

1. It was one of the first things I noticed when I arrived — the calm excitement that Heather exuded while getting ready. With an effortless chic, and timeless sense of style; the feather-trimmed crepe strapless midi dress she chose from 16 Arlington looked like it was made just for her. I loved the custom light blue Jimmy Choo heels with the date inscribed on the bottom; it was a fun and unexpected touch since Geof’s bright navy Indochino suit had the date embroidered inside as well.

2. Her bouquet from Local Color Flowers was made up of shades of cream, blush, light pink and the most perfect pale spring yellow among anemones, ranunculus, butterfly ranunculus and eucalyptus (and more local flowers that I never remember the names of)!

3. Their private first look on the balcony overlooking the heart of Fells Point followed by portraits in the modern courtyard at the Pendry and a confetti toss during group photos on the water… it was perfection in so many ways!!

4 UNFORGETTABLE ELEMENTS FROM H+G’S INTIMATE WEDDING CEREMONY + DINNER RECEPTION AT CITRON:

1. The bright ceremony on the water - not a cloud in the sky! A gentle breeze came through as Heather met Geof at the altar and her veil had a mind of it’s own, adding lighthearted laughter to the start of the moving ceremony that ended in a joyful bubble exit!

2. We took golden hour photos out on the deck as the sun went down and the minimal yet modern copper arch wrapped in spring blooms and flowering branches, formed such a gorgeous backdrop for their couple’s portraits. I couldn’t get enough!!

3. Guests were seated at two long rectangular tables with floral arrangements of varying heights, wooden crossback chairs, modern menus, gold flatware, votives and a beautifully subtle gold and ivory patterned linen.

4. Two Rivers Chamber Music played instrumental music throughout dinner and ended the night with their favorite song, Everlong as Heather + Geof ran through a tunnel of confetti tossed by their guests; it was energetic, fun and such a perfect send-off for these adorable newlyweds!

Cheers to you, Heather and Geof! You deserve all the happiness and joy that this season of life will bring; your wedding was incredibly warm (literally, 70 degrees in March!), bright, loving and full of so many memorable moments.

I wish you all the best and can’t wait to see your future adventures together (with Remy alongside, of course)!

Naomi
