Both with big families, bigger hearts and a whole lot to celebrate, Randa & Kareim spared no detail for their big day!  It was such a fun celebration – lots of people, lots of gorgeous details and lots of love.

A big thanks to Maria & Drew for sending them our way!  Maria was in this wedding, so she couldn’t shoot it, too.

Randa’s gorgeous wedding day get-up:

A gift from Maria – so cute!

Randa looked amazing!

Randa & Kareim opted to do First Glance, which we JUST LOVE!  First Glance allows the bride and groom to see each other before the ceremony privately; we get great pictures and the day runs so smoothly!

Since they did First Glance, we had extra time to take more pictures around Kent Manor.

Love this: walking up the aisle with her dad, walking down the aisle with her husband…

Kent Manor was decked out beautifully!

Belly dancers.  No, for real!

Randa & Kareim, we had such a great time at your wedding!  Thanks for the fun!

If someone were to ask us what kind of bride we like best, I might just go ahead and give them Melissa’s picture.  She’s the kind of bride that requests more pictures at her engagement session.  Who sends me emails saying thanks.  Who lays down in her wedding dress with no regard for her perfect updo.  Who works it with every click.  Sweet, gorgeous, fun…Melissa’s got it all – plus a man who’s eyes sparkle over her like that shiny diamond on her hand.

Melissa & Ian’s day will go down as one of our favorites ever!  We are thrilled to have been invited into their day.

Melissa GLOWED:

I love, love, love this:

For real, in my top 3 bridals of all time!

How often can you get this many people to cooperatively jump?

Melissa & Ian had a cookie bar – yum!

We slipped out right at sunset to get some more images – they are to DIE FOR!

And, of course, I will add this:

Melissa & Ian, we loved being a part of your wedding!  You guys are fabulous!

As we walked through Baltimore during their engagement session, Carolyn & Tim chatted leisurely with us about their wedding plans, hopes to buy a house and their dog.  They took us to Tabrizi’s to show us their reception venue and excitedly showed us the dock where they requested we take wedding pictures.  Carefree and sweet, we shot the evening away and, on the way home, Renata and I commented to each other how much we enjoyed them!  Their wedding day was more of the same, except this time, Carolyn was in a killer dress.

Carolyn was such a classic bride!  Simple, with a little touch of Jackie O.

A personal note to Carolyn’s bridesmaids: you guys were way fun!  I felt like one of the girls the whole day – thanks for all the baby talk

Moments before she walked down the aisle…

Mr. & Mrs.!

The dock at Tabrizi’s!

Tabrizi’s was decked out beautifully!  We’d never been, but it definitely holds in the top 3 for my favorite venues!

First dancing to The Wallflowers:

If you know me, you know I love a good toast!

As always, you can see their slideshow here.

Carolyn & Tim, you are two wonderful souls!  We had a great time with you!
