The Venue
I had the privilege of capturing Stefan and Jessica's wedding day at the Belvedere located in Baltimore, Maryland. The Belvedere is a historic venue that has stunning backdrops. It was once a luxury hotel which opened in the early 1900s. Some of its famous guests include Al Pacino, President Kennedy, and John D. Rockefeller.
The Preparation: Setting the Scene
The day began with the bride and groom getting ready. The natural light streaming through the large window created an amazing setting for capturing intimate pre-ceremony moments for Jessica and her bridesmaids. Everyone was helping each other with last-minute preparations, creating an excited atmosphere. In the groom's suite, the atmosphere was also full of excitement. We took lots of fun candids.
Capturing moments of wedding preparation shows the great anticipation and support of loved ones coming together.
The Ceremony
The excitement was palpable. Both the room and the wedding party looked stunning. As the bride was escorted down the aisle by her father, a special photo captured the groom beaming with love at the sight of his bride.
Ceremony - Continued
Jessica and Stefan had an amazing ceremony. It went smoothly and was full of emotion. As the officiant pronounced them husband and wife, the joy in the room was overwhelming. I'll let the images speak for themselves.
Bride & Groom Photos
Before the reception, the guests went up to the top floor as we stayed back to take intimate Bride & Groom photos. The famous Belvedere front window provided a stunning backdrop.
Reception
Stefan and Jessica had a beautiful reception on the 13th floor of The Belvedere. It had breathtaking views of the city skyline. Capturing the moments between Stefan and his mother, and Jessica and her dad, reflected the bond they share. The bubble exit was fun for both guests and the wedding party. I had such a great time photographing Stefan and Jessica's wedding.
