Sarah & Steven's Wedding

Steven has always known how to make Sarah laugh. During their engagement session, I can't even begin to tell you how many times Sarah was laughing and Steven was smiling at his bride to be. Their wedding day was just as, if not more, joyous and beautiful. The ceremony and reception took place at the Historic Savage Mill Manor in Maryland. Every detail fit together perfectly and Sarah looked absolutely stunning in her dress. Congratulations to you both! I feel so blessed to have shared this day with you and here is a sneak preview of many more images to come! And I want to extend a huge thank you to the amazing Meghan Vince of Meghan Lynn Photography for being an amazing second shooter.


I loved the groomsmen's shoes! ;)

Sarah's mom didn't come as merely a guest in the wedding. She was the officiant that presided over the ceremony. Every story she told and word she spoke painted the beautiful picture of Sarah and Steven's love. It was all from the heart and eloquently spoken.




They are always smiling when they are together.
