When Megan emailed me to see if I was available to photograph her mother’s wedding, I was thrilled! I have known this family for SO many years; my sister and Allison, Melanie’s middle daughter, were friends as children, and that is how I met Megan. When I was twelve, we moved right across the street from them, and we were so grateful to have them as neighbors! (My parents have the best neighbors!). My mom’s dogs loved to sneak over and visit their dog, Sammy, and Sammy would occasionally escape to come visit our dogs, and as kids, we would all spend summers having tea parties and spa days :) Megan and I rode the bus together, and then we even ended up going to college together at UMBC! Megan majored in graphic design and I majored in English, so we didn’t have too many of the same classes, but we did take a world cultures class together, and it was always so fun driving home together after and chatting about our lives :) Megan, Allison, and Carly are so sweet, and they totally take after their mom!
Melanie is one of the nicest people you could ever meet, and it was such a joy to be there to photograph her beautiful marriage and celebration to David! Melanie and David celebrated with their closest friends and family at the iconic and beautifully renovated Coho Grill at the Hobbit’s Glen Golf Course right here in Columbia, MD (I joked with my husband that I could have biked to their wedding it was so close! haha!). It was such a fun evening and the joy between these two was contagious. It was so wonderful meeting David and his sweet family and Melanie’s extended family. Everyone was so kind and so happy for these two! And it was so nice to see all of the gorgeous details and special touches that Melanie and David’s children incorporated! Congratulations, Melanie and David! My family and I are so happy for you two and we send so much love to you and your wonderful family!!
So sweet! And isn’t this the most gorgeous family you have ever seen?
Yay!!
I loved that there was Old Bay on the bride and groom’s table just for David! :) A true Marylander!!
Melanie and David’s guest book was a collection of river stones that guests signed; this was such a beautiful idea.
This cupcake wedding cake was beautiful!
Congratulations, Melanie and David! I loved celebrating with you two!
