October 20, 2014 Ali + Matt | Elkridge Furnace Inn Wedding
This year I spent my anniversary with this sweet couple, celebrating their entry to the 10/10 anniversary club! The best part about this post is that 90% of the outdoor photos were taken when it was raining, and you can’t even tell. Despite the drizzle, Ali and Matt still insisted on doing all of their photos outside, including their outdoor ceremony. And luckily enough, as soon as they prepared to walk down the aisle, the clouds parted and the rain went away. I am so happy that I was able to be a part of such a beautiful day for an incredible couple!
I started my day off with Ali at the Hilton Garden Inn near BWI where she did hair and makeup!
I just love all of Ali’s jewelry! She wanted to wear statement jewelry while still looking bridal. Mission accomplished!
So beautiful!
While I was with Ali upstairs in the bridal suite, Jen was with Matt and the guys!
LOVE their first look!
“Check out the back! … Yeahh!”
I just love when couples choose to do a first look, especially on days with less than ideal weather, it gives you so much more time to work around the weather and get the photos you really want!
Such a beautiful couple!
LOVE!
One of the few shots where you can see the rain.
I just love Ali’s smile!
Love!!
Ali made the most beautiful bride!
Such a great group of guys! They gave us a bit of a hard time at times, but they were awesome ;)
Such beautiful ladies!
Cutest flower girl ever? Probably!
I just love that Ali chose to be walked down the aisle by both her dad and step-dad.
Rev. Laura Cannon gave the most beautiful and unique ceremony. Maybe I was just especially emotional since it was my anniversary, but I cried my whole way through!
I love the hug post-kiss!
How awesome is the combo of fall decor and florals? So pretty!
This picture just says everything. Haha.
LOVE!
The party was an absolute blast! Their friends and family are so much fun!
Before heading out for the night we were able to get some night shots- and I LOVE how they turned out!
Ali and Matt!
I just adore you guys and I’m so happy you found me! I couldn’t imagine a better couple to spend my anniversary with and I’m so happy to welcome you to the 10/10 club! I hope Aruba was amazing and I can’t wait to see you and hear all about it!
xoxo,
Brea
