And with that made perfectly clear, the mellifluous nickname rolled off the tongue of just about everyone who addressed Nadia with love and affection throughout the day.  And no one had more of that good stuff than her groom, Ryan, who remained by her side, attending to her every need throughout their springtime garden wedding at the lovely Gramercy Mansion, in Baltimore’s horse country.

Nadia and Ryan have a sweet, sensitive love . . . the kind that is consistently putting the other’s needs above his own. They are perfectly suited for one another, and Nadia planned her wedding day with such delicate attention to detail, pouring every ounce of  her love for Ryan into little love offerings throughout the day.

Her hand made  art deco, netted  headpiece was beautifully accompanied by her stylish dusty rose stilettos. Classic beauty all the way.

Nadia and Ryan. Thank you so much for inviting me into your lives. Your love is real. And the thoughtful things you do for one another are an encouragement to your family and friends.

You are the real deal and it such a beautiful thing to behold.

Megan and Liam have a sweet story. I’ve known Megan since she was eight years old and acted in a play that I directed one summer way back when I was a high school English teacher. At the time I was dating our school’s baseball coach. I was completely in love.

Fast forward a couple several years, and Megan and her lovely mom, Sharon, show up in my studio.  Megan is now a high school English teacher, and she’s in love with her very own baseball coach. They fell in love over lunch duty, indie music and poetry. Passionately in love. And it shows each time they look at one another.

If you love details (and I do!) you’ll LOVE this wedding.  It was full of surprises at every turn, like a romantic treasure hunt. Fabulous deb edge came along for the ride and we had an absolute blast capturing all the love.

The lace on Megan’s bouquet was from her mom’s wedding dress.

Megan’s Mom was the Queen of Everything meaningful, including handmade pennants, dangling keys, perfect bows, and every sweet detail. It was truly amazing.

Megan and Liam chose to see one another before their ceremony. I’ll never forget it. I don’t think I ever seen such total bliss.

Nothin’ but blue skies for the wedding of Megan and Liam at Linganore Berrywine Plantation on Sunday afternoon.

Megan and Liam have that storybook kind of passion. It’s a great love story that includes a Wilco concert, Vonnegut, baseball and cafeteria duty.

She’s a high school English teacher. He’s a baseball coach at St. Mary’s College.

I’ve known Megan since she was eight . . . she and Liam and  life are getting along quite nicely.

Can’t wait to show you the rest of the wedding. Amazing details. Amazing families. Amazing Love.
