Last Saturday, Marci and Brian were married at St. Mary of the Mills Parish in Laurel, Md. The entire day was filled with friends, family, and love for the happy couple. The reception was held at the Marriot Renaissance Hotel overlooking Baltimore's beautiful Inner Harbor. They integrated Polish traditions into the reception in order to celebrate Marci's heritage and it had all of the guests dancing together. Noah Hayes did a fantastic job second shooting the day for me and photographing the groomsmen as they prepared before the wedding.
Marci works as a producer for the Lou Dobb's Show on CNN. Monday night, he congratulated them on his broadcast with a photo that I had taken from the wedding. Lou Dobbs summed it up by saying: "Marci and Brian, we are delighted for you both. We wish you congratulations. All the very best, all the happiness possible." This is exactly how everyone present that day felt. Marci and Brian are so happy together, so in love! I have no doubt that this new chapter in their lives will be blessed and filled with happiness! Congratulations Marci and Brian! :)
Noah did a fantastic job photographing Brian and the groomsmen getting ready. I loved this shot!
Leaving for the church!
One of the highlights of the night was the Polish babushka tradition. (The babushka is a veil worn by the bride.) Marci danced with her guests as they encircled her and threw money into her veil. The bridesmaids kept Brian away until he threw his wallet into the veil signifying his commitment to the marriage. He then picked Marci up and ran with her out of the room! It was fantastic!
