THE JOURNAL

Billingsley House Museum Wedding | Maryland Wedding Photographer

July 20, 2014

It never ceases to amaze me how fast the year flies by! Especially when you’re super excited to work with such amazing couples! We first chatted with Megan and Dino back in January about their July wedding! We are so honored to be a part of their Billingsley House Museum wedding in Upper Marlboro, Maryland!

The wedding venue is a little off the road! We drove through corn fields and over a bridge that made me extremely nervous! Once we arrived at the wedding venue, we were greeted by Michelle of Beauty Mark Fab Events! Everyone was busy setting up the beautiful tent area for the reception and putting the finishing touches on the ceremony location in front of the house!

The guys were the first to arrive at the house! After a little meet and greet with everyone, I headed upstairs to the groom’s suite to photograph him and the guys!

Dino’s Father helped him with his bowtie as the groomsmen looked on!

The bride along with her bridesmaids and maid of honor arrived a little later to the house! The ladies immediately started helping the bride into her beautiful gown and shoes! I just love all of the details on Megan’s dress!

The people who surround you on your wedding day are so important!

Before the ladies arrived, I spent sometime with the guys! Dino told me all about how they found this beautiful wedding venue and everyone spent some time laughing and just hanging out!

Once the ceremony was over, everyone headed to cocktail hour and then to the reception space under a large white tent! There were orange and navy blue flowers, linen and candles! Plus the cutest photos of the little flower dog on each table!

I adore this hot air balloon idea for a guest book! How neat is that! I love all of the details that Megan and Dino designed for their wedding!! From the custom designed lollipops to the drink menu board, everything was perfect!

You can’t end a wedding without dancing! Brian Jay mixed up different genres from r&b to rap to haitian music! Everyone laughed and dancing the night away!
