 Meghan and Mike held their Woodlawn wedding in Ridge, Maryland this year and they chose their venue because of their shared love for history.  Woodlawn was built in 1798 and the church was one of the first Catholic churches in Maryland (and in the United States).  Woodlawn is a bed and breakfast located outside of DC.  So it was a perfect way for Meghan and Mike to have their friends and family spend the weekend together.  Their wedding was also featured on the gorgeous, Snippet and Ink.  You can read about the wedding here.

You know when a wedding starts with an invitation like this, it’s going to be beautiful…

Amy and Ali’s wedding did not disappoint.  Held at Rose Hill Manor and planned by the wonderful, Gretchen Wade, of Events by Dragonfly.  Amy was such an amazing bride to work with, and she really got into the planning process.  She designed and letterpressed these gorgeous invitations for her wedding.  She even created the pattern for the fabric that was used throughout the wedding and had them printed through Spoonflower. 

I love Amy’s reaction after she sees Ali for the first time that day.

I love these pictures that we took right after the ceremony.  You can see the pure happiness on their faces.

Gretchen took the pattern that Amy designed and had custom drum shades made to illuminate the dance floor. Even of My Deejay had everyone on the dance floor.  There wasn’t a person sitting down.

After the ceremony we took pictures along the dock and on Jim’s sailboat

Jim spelled “Jim Loves Ally” in Nautical flags
