Jessie and Chris are all about the relationship. Their family, their friends, their colleagues, each other . . . that’s where the treasure lies, and it was obvious all day. The ceremony played out in the foothills of the Antietam Battleground in Sharpsburg, MD . . . right next door to Jessie’s childhood home. It’s called Hillenbruck Farm and is a privately owned 120 year old stone farmhouse overlooking the C & O Canal and the Potomac River. Simple elegance. {it’s a vacation home, available for rental}

The reception followed in downtown Hagerstown. The chic deco AVA Lounge and Leiters’ Downtown put urban chic back into the evening. Love flowing freely . . . the way a marriage should commence.

Jessie . . . you are an amazing beauty. On the inside and out . . . seriously.

Timeless elegance. And just so you know . . . Jessie did not have a moment of anxiety the entire day. She had an infectious giggle and huge smile that lived right behind her deep blue eyes all day long.

Sistas.  Lindsay, Jessie and Annie . . . drop dead gorgeous.

A ceremony perfectly timed to capture that late afternoon golden sunlight spill.

Did I mention GORGEOUS?? Both of you.

Big holllla to DJ Evan Hunt who kept the party rollin’ . . . right on into the wee hours.

Jessie and Chris . . . thank you for trusting me and Ron to capture your wedding day. We felt like part of the family and LOVED every single moment of your incredible day.

Sunny skies over the Antietam National Battlefield provided the mid summer backdrop to the garden wedding of Jess and Chris. It’s the morning after a wedding that will go down in the books as the paramount in “the way to do it right.” Enjoy the sneak peak . . .

More to come soon . . . I promise.

He slid onto the leathered black bench and began playing the most melodic tune, eyes closed and in the zone. At that moment I realized that Tiff had roped much more than her own cowboy.

They are nothing short of a perfect match, singing to one another as if they alone existed, belly laughing and crying, all in the same breath. Gospel harmonies filling the sanctuary with sweet perfection, the marriage ceremony was a reflection of their deep faith and their love of family. After a romantic dove release the entire bridal party  jumped aboard the horse drawn wagon and drew up to Tiff + Brock’s beautiful horse farm nestled at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, ringing the supper bell to commence the barbeque and country throw down.

Tiff had the vision for the staircase shot. Love when my brides have an opinion . . . cause everyone wins!
