May 24, 2016 Kat + Halo | Ceresville Mansion Wedding | Frederick, MD
Writing about this couple is hard – and I spent hours writing and re-writing for their engagement session post, so go there first. I’ll wait here.
Kat and Halo are two truly incredible people. They lift up everyone around them. They lift each other up. Each is better because they have the other in their lives. Before they started dating, they were both adamantly against marriage. But then they met each other and that all changed. As Halo says, actions speak louder than words, and I love you just didn’t cut it anymore.
Which brings us to this past Saturday. A beautiful celebration that was a perfect reflection of them as individuals and as a couple. Kat couldn’t have been a more stunning bride. Halo’s excitement was adorable. They were both so laid back, and yet so excited. That’s my favorite thing about them. Even with all of the stress of a wedding day – especially one where it was pouring outside – nothing could shake them. They were so excited and so chill all day. The best combination. Their ceremony was an absolute riot – Justin Schlegel from 98 Rock officiated, and it was like a personalized stand up routine with their sweet romantic vows mixed in. The mansion was covered in decorations evoking all of the best nerd references from video games, to movies and TV shows, and of course, their adorable “significant otter” cake toppers. You couldn’t ask for a better day to celebrate two of the best people around.
Congratulations again, Kat and Halo – it was truly an honor to be by your side.
