my last wedding of the year was a familiar one. it felt as though i was in a time warp. it felt this way because almost half the people attending were the same folks at one of my weddings from last year, katherine and darren. this time, it was katherine’s little sister liz who was getting married. the family came back to the beautiful tidewater inn for the occasion. and what an occasion it was!
i started my day with the family at the tidewater inn. if you are ever in easton, maryland, go and check it out. it’s a great old hotel!
here they are, katherine and darren! great to see one of my couples again. you guys look great!
once again the cake topper looked pretty similar to the couple!
liz looked gorgeous in her gown. simple flowers and a beautiful veil really made the look!
dad was great in helping out with the train after some pictures in the inn’s gardens.
the detailing on liz’s dress was incredible. so much so, she had to take a little breather before we all headed over to the church.
most guests took the 1/4 mile walk over to the church. the weather was perfect for a little late fall walk!
trinity cathedral is incredible! it sits just around the way from the tidewater and is a cool old grey stone masterpiece!
i loved all the cool details around the outside of the church!
grandpa made himself at home early.
the inside of the cathedral is even more amazing! look at all that beautiful woodwork!
the altar made a great spot for doing some family and wedding party shots!
our beautiful couple, having a little doorway smooch!
it was a team effort to get liz’s dress bustled in the low light of the church. good work gang!
i caught this little moment right before liz and chris were introduced at the tidewater.
and right after i took this, the cake topper decided to take a dive off the top! i swear i didn’t do it!
ah oh! what did you do, chris?
cake cutting love! gotta love these two!
liz’s mom, mary, was gettin’ down on the dance floor…
…and so was chris’ dad, jim! the dancing was great, thanks to dj chris startt!

thanks for being an awesome and fun couple, liz and chris!

a little light ironing of katie’s dress. why do bridal shops stuff dresses into those tiny bags? 9 times out of 10, the dress comes out wrinkled!
the dapper jim.
nice kicks, jim!
jim and his crew. digging the looks!
it was a team effort for the garter!
the girls made the long trek back to the mansion, good thing all the guests had already arrived!
the heart-shaped vase ended overflowing with sand! i guess that means their love is overflowing!
katie and jim were showered with rose petals as they exited. i love this shot! it totally captures the day! they were smiling like this all day long! no wonder!
the light for the family pics was outrageous! just absolutely lovely!
