{Anna & Andrew} Southern Maryland Wedding Photographer

Weddings

A little southern charm from a yankee couple. A combination I never thought of before Anna and Andrew. From the start, they were both passionate about 1) getting married, and 2) their wedding “vision.” She had me at BHLDN heels. I just knew everything about their wedding was going to be fabulous. When I actually met Anna and Andrew in person, they were even more charming than I could have imagined! Andrew was completely smitten with his bride-to-be, and Anna swooned over every word that came out of Andrew’s mouth. They held hands the entire meeting, and shared frequent and sweet looks with each other. It was hard not to fall in love with them both.

Their wedding day was perfect. Although it was a typical Maryland summer day in July (hot and humid with the threat of rain), the manor house at Greenwell State Park was buzzing with excitement. Anna was upstairs showcasing all of her fabulous, vintage details and Andrew was downstairs, pacing the hallways, chattering with his friends and brothers, trying to calm his nerves. Greenwell State Park was considered a “destination wedding” for Anna and Andrew, who are from New Jersey. Their closest family and friends drove down for the weekend to celebrate, and it was the perfect backdrop for their vintage-inspired, “southern” wedding! They exchanged their “I Do’s” in the rose garden, played Corn Hole and Croquet in the back lawn, and danced the evening away under a glorious, white tent…. all with NO RAIN. It was amazing.

Congratulations to Anna and Andrew, I’m so thankful to have shared in your special day! Everything was beyond amazing! A special thank you to Anna, who provided a list of resources she used for all of her details!

I die. These girls looked awesome. Each one picked out their own dress.

Lots of babies breath!

Anna & Andrew didn’t want to see each other, but they just wanted to hear each others’ voices. This was a good solution!

Handmade luminaries to line the walkway. Since real flames weren’t allowed on the grounds, battery-operated candles were used instead!

Love this idea for a quick Photobooth! They used an iPad with an app for guests to do it themselves!

Rather than a unity candle, Anna & Alex had their Matron of Honor and Best Men come to ties ribbons into a knot around their hands. Very sweet and symbolic!
