Brianna + Paul | Centennial Park Wedding

Weddings

This Saturday, Brianna and Paul were married in a beautiful ceremony surrounded by their closest friends and family. Their wedding was perfectly sweet and laid back and loads of fun. Brianna and I met back in high school, and I didn’t realize that her wedding would be such a fun blast from the past for me, reconnecting with people I haven’t seen in years. So much fun! Brianna and Paul are such a wonderful couple whose love for each other is only paralleled by the love they have for their awesome dog, Henry. You may remember Henry from their engagement session, don’t worry, there is no shortage of Henry in this post! I just love their little family and I’m so excited for them to start this new chapter of their lives together.

When I did their engagement session, I was still renting the macro lens and only had it for weddings. I’m so excited to show off Brianna’s amazing engagement ring! The vintage setting is so awesome and it has OWLS on the sides. How cool is that? I love all of the intricate detailing.

Brianna’s dress was purchased at a Brides Against Breast Cancer charity event. Peggy, Paul’s mother, did the alterations. She’s quite talented!

How cute are these invitations? They set the theme for the day!

While I was at the Inn at Peralynna with the girls, Jen was at Brianna and Paul’s house… for the Henry show.

Beertineers.

Oh Henry, you’re such a handsome dude.

We headed to Centennial Park where it was time for the wedding! There were lots of awesome details inside the Pavilion, but I’ll save those for later in this post.

It’s Henry! The “Best Dog”.

I just love it when the groom cries. So sweet.

After the ceremony we took lots of family photos and some pictures with Henry before he had to go home.

I just love this bridal party. Awesome people!

We took a few moments to get some shots of just Brianna and Paul before they headed back to the reception. Before the end of the day, we got more by the lake.

For entertainment at their reception they had card games and yard games!

There was a lovely welcome speech by the bride and groom honoring their wonderful parents, followed by heartfelt toasts and a blessing and then a fun party!

I even got in a photo! Towson High School represent!

To end the day we headed out to the lake and got some more portraits of the happy couple…

…and wrapped up by playing some lawn games.

Thanks so much to Jennifer Smutek for being my awesome second shooter for the day! Congratulations again to Brianna and Paul! You guys are such an awesome couple and I wish you nothing but the best!

    Where to start? I love Brianna’s dress! And Henry! The family portrait. Family ” paws”. Brianna in front of the little building covered in ivy. Mom walking Brianna down the isle… looks like Brianna is in a hurry to get to her guy. ( I imagine her thinking… come on mom isn’t this exciting! (cause she’s holding mom’s hand tight)… and mom thinking… this is exciting, but let me hold my little girls hand just a moment longer.) Especially all the pictures of Paul & Brianna near the woods, such a sweet couple. The cupcakes look amazing! You do an awesome job capturing the special moments and telling each couples story/day through your images/eye.
