Kathryn and Mike’s wedding day was nothing short of incredible—from emotional moments to epic dance floor memories, it was the kind of celebration that reminds us why we love what we do.
The day kicked off at Kathryn’s parents’ beautiful home, where all the girls got ready together. Laughter and champagne filled the air as hair and makeup wrapped up, and everyone slipped into their gowns. Before heading to the church, there were two unforgettable reveals: one with Kathryn and her bridesmaids (cue the happy tears!) and a deeply sweet moment between Kathryn and her dad.
Although Kathryn and Mike chose not to do a first look, the anticipation leading up to the ceremony made the moment she walked down the aisle even more powerful.
The weather? Let’s just say it had its own plans. But these two took it all in stride. With a little help from umbrellas and a whole lot of trust, we captured stunning portraits outside the church and later at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club—rain and all. And truly, the misty skies made the Bay Bridge views feel even more romantic.
As guests mingled and enjoyed the gorgeous scenery despite the drizzle, the celebration continued to unfold with so many thoughtful and personal touches. One of our favorite details was the groom’s cape—yes, you read that right!—shaped like a ski slope. It was such a fun nod to Mike’s hobby.
There was also a charming wedding newspaper announcement and a touching tribute to Kathryn’s grandfather. As the couple sang an American song in his honor, tiny American flags waved in the air, creating a moment that was both heartfelt and memorable.
The reception? An absolute hit. Between the high-energy dance floor, a packed photo booth, and an unforgettable cannoli bar tucked in a side room, it was a night guests won’t soon forget. The speeches were heartfelt and hilarious, and their first dance had everyone swooning.
But one of our favorite moments came later in the night. After hours of dancing, Kathryn and Mike followed us back outside—in the rain—for a few final night shots with flash. They needed a breather from the hot, sweaty dance floor, and we’re so glad they trusted us. Those moody, magical portraits will be a fun memory!
Kathryn and Mike, thank you for trusting us with your incredible day. Your gallery is one we’ll be sharing with future couples looking for inspiration on how to turn a rainy day into absolute gold. And a special thank you to Maura, Kathryn’s mom, who’s followed us on Instagram for over five years. Knowing she had us in mind for her daughter’s wedding from the very beginning is such an honor.
