Happy Monday, everyone! And I have a veryyyyy big treat for you today because I’m sharing Katie & Keith’s STUNNING Baltimore Wedding!
Katie & Keith are the epitome of grace and class in the most Kate Middleton & Prince William kind-of-way. You might remember them from their engagement session. Can I tell you about what happened during their wedding planning? These two were notified that they wouldn’t get to have their Baltimore wedding at the church they had chosen, Mount Vernon Baptist Church. If you live in the Baltimore-area, you’ve likely drive by this gorgeous church, and there’s no way you would have missed it! It sits right next to Mount Vernon Square Park, with it’s big, booming, and grandeur architecture. There had been structural damage. They would need to find a new church. And because of that, they were married in the same church as Katie’s parents. While it wasn’t their first choice, the latter was still amazing, and incredibly significant.
When you photograph a wedding, you hear a lot of things from the guests, like: their compliments on the bride’s gown, the food, decor, and how much fun they’re having. And as much as I love hearing about how gorgeous the Bride looks (and Katie did), what I love more is hearing the guests talk about the Bride & Groom. Because it solidifies everything we already knew about Katie & Keith and how much they loved each other. First of all, you could see it in the way he looks at her. He glances, and you can see that he thinks that he must be the luckiest man in the world. And Katie with her elegance, her charm, and her confidence. We may as well have called her Grace Kelly for the evening. She looks at Keith the exact same way.
Second of all, when we hear guests talk about Katie & Keith the way guests do, we lean in to hear it all. We are eager to know more, because it changes the way we shoot and what we look for. Guests were saying things like, “nobody loves each other they way Katie & Keith do,” and “they are perfect for each other.” Most noteworthy? The way they loved each other, and everyone else. While planning, Katie & her mom went to 40+ stores to find the favors for their guests, which were marble coasters with gold trim. Katie’s twin brother was her “Man of Honor,” and we also loved that. It was an amazing day, had by all, and I cannot wait for you to view these images!
