A Love Story | Harford County Wedding Photographer

I was so excited when Julie and Sam asked me to be their wedding photographer.  Julie and I spent a lot of time together when we were children and it was a true honor to be able to capture her marriage to Sam.  When I first met with them it was so obvious right away what a good match they are for each other, and there is such a calmness they both have about them when they are in each other's presence.  Each element of the day was so carefully planned out, and all of their details were so personal.  Here are some pictures of their day...

Julie was surrounded by people who cared so much for her.  Everyone seemed just as excited as Julie and Sam that they were tying the knot.

Julie and Candace MADE their own bouquets!  I think it's safe to say they both have a career waiting for them in florals!  They turned out amazing.

This next moment is Julie and Sam's first look.  It was such a nice, private moment for them to connect privately before they met in front of all of their guests.

Julie and Sam were married on the Pier of the Bond Street Wharf in Baltimore City.  The venue was stunning and simple as they let the surrounding architecture and water of the harbor frame their moment.

They were married by their friend Becky, who did an amazing job.  Her opening message set the tone for this moment, which became personal to everyone present.

They do!

Julie and Sam had their reception at The Wine Market.  They wanted everyone to relax and have fun without too many formalities - and it worked!  I love this shot of them in front of one of the adjacent buildings.  

And more reflection of their urban setting...

Julie and Sam also had the creative idea of putting a Polaroid Camera at the reception for guests to take pictures of themselves.  The pictures were paired with advice for the couple.  

They also created their own favors, gorgeous!  This little magnet has made it's way onto my fridge and I love that it reminds me of their day.

Their personalized cake and cupcakes from the yummy Flavory Cupcakery.  If you have never had a cupcake from them go get in the car right now!

A couple more shots of the Bride and Groom...

 Julie and Sam, thank you so much for choosing me to capture your special day.  It was truly an honor for me and I wish you both all the very best in love.
