Kelly and Tim have a special place to relax, have a drink, take in a sunset on the water; Castle Hill Inn, a favorite of Newport, Rhode Island. It’s there, on the lawn, that Tim took a knee for the biggest question of his life. It’s no surprise then that they picked the Evergreen Museum and Library in Baltimore, Maryland to host their wedding. It’s a place with an almost Versailles feel. A feeling they took full advantage of with an outdoor patio wedding with the Chuppha overlooking Evergreen’s garden.
For a photographer, the architecture and grounds lend themselves to every shot taken on a wedding day. Its walkways, its arches, its porches are always dreamy backdrops for the intimate journalistic frame as well as portraits large and small. And that is why the Evergreen Museum and Library is one of the most outstanding venues in Maryland. The subtle touches of florist Fleur De Lis didn’t overpower but added a splashes of brightness and color to set off the ceremony. Out of the open air and into the night with a reception catered by one of Baltimore’s best Chef’s Expressions, celebration, dancing and joy hosted by the famous band Right On.

In Baltimore, we are lucky to have a treasure such as the Inner Harbor. In many ways it’s where the beauty of nature meets the luxuries of modernity. Emily and Jeff took full advantage of everything the harbor has to offer while creating a unique wedding inspired by their favorite rustic yet elegant Maine vacation inn.
Their day began getting ready at the Four Seasons in Harbor East, always a favorite place for intimate portraits of the bride and groom.
They met their wedding party just above their venue, on Federal Hill which overlooks the entire Harbor. Autumn can be quite often rainy in Baltimore but this day was perfectly clear, sunny and blues skies, a perfect host for the family and bridal party pics.
Just down the hill greenery and flowers dangled from trestles, the rooms were decorated in an abstract recreation of the couple’s favorite northeastern get away. The American Visionary Art Museum, the host of the ceremony, is a gallery of quirky American Folk Art.
Beginning the day at the Four Seasons and ending it at the AVAM, at an event catered by Linwoods embodies the breadth and personality of Baltimore, from its luxuries, its food, its nature and its art.

Shoes? Check. Dress? Check. Rings? Check. Looks like someone’s getting…
Just get some life-long loved ones together.
Gather those that mean the most and make them bring a Dress and a Tux.
Because this day is a celebration, a party in ones life like few others.
And where in Baltimore does one go for such a party? In their dresses and their tuxes, with their flowers and their adoration for one another? There are a few choices, definitely more than a couple.
But not many as photogenic, with all there is to love about Maryland as Harbor East and the Marriott Waterfront. There is nothing to a Marylander that signifies home, that warms the soul more than the sounds of boats gently rocking in the water, dinging, the chirp of gulls and the scent of salt in the air. Hold please while I slip on my Sperry’s.
Oh no, I gotta keep my tux on, just a bit longer to enjoy the elegance of a ballroom with pedestals and flowers and the photo, that one of many but that one of the bride, frozen in time, her dress in full flair as she moves down the aisle, all those who’ve come pause, taking a breath of the sublime.
Ahh, and now we can exhale, let loose and celebrate.
Celebrate the first day of the rest of our lives.
