kylie + nate | a classic mt vernon wedding at the belvedere in may
/Classic and chic like their wedding, Kylie + Nate are so happy and in love!! They were a joy to photograph during their engagement session and their wedding was no different! Just one look and they make the other burst into happy laughter. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever attended a wedding that had more loving glances and laughter than this one!
Having met at Johns Hopkins University and spent the past few years renovating their home in Mt. Washington, every chapter of this couple’s love story has been touched by the city of Baltimore. It only made sense that their wedding portraits featured their tight-knit group of friends and family, gorgeous city brownstones, the Washington Monument, and one of the most popular festivals in Mount Vernon: Flower Mart.
Kylie + Nate tied the knot at The Belvedere in early May. We were blessed with a gorgeous, sunny day with a high of 65 degrees and absolutely no threat of rain. We took some of my favorite portraits in and around Mt. Vernon, capturing their love for each other, their families and friends, and the urban feel to where they fell in love.
11 Memorable Moments and Details from Kylie + Nate’s Belvedere Wedding in Mt. Vernon:
Kylie got ready at one of my favorite hotels: the Revival. This boutique hotel is just so unique, full of personality, a super comfy place to relax AND right across the street from Mt. Vernon square, making a first look and portraits with the park as your backdrop, super easy!
Nate got ready at their home in Mount Washington, which was really special considering how much time they’ve spent renovating it and making it their own. I loved that they included their private home in their wedding portraits AND at-home engagement photos!
Kylie got ready in the Miss Mary Suite with her bridesmaids and family. Her dress transformed multiple times, giving her a few different looks throughout the day and her Mavette shoes in shades of pink and burgundy matched her bouquet perfectly! Paired with all of the heirloom jewelry she wore and the special wedding band that Nate gave her, she looked like the quintessential Baltimore bride, straight out of the gilded age (just like their venue!).
After Kylie’s mom helped her put on her dress, she did a bridesmaids reveal in the spacious suite, where her friends saw her for the first time. She also did a groomsmen reveal, where all of her groomsmen and both her and Nate’s dads saw her for the first time. It was a really fun way to include the entire bridal party in a first look!
