Erin + Jason | 1840s Ballroom, Baltimore Wedding

April 1, 2015 Erin + Jason | 1840s Ballroom, Baltimore Wedding

Saturday’s wedding was my second of this year, but what I consider to be my first of this year’s wedding season. David and Dorinda’s January wedding was much closer to the 2014 wedding season in time than the 2015 wedding season. This weekend, more than 2 months later, Erin and Jason were married, kicking off a string of weddings spanning from late March to Mid-December! I’ve been so fortunate over the last couple of years to have worked with some truly amazing couples, people that I’ve come to consider friends. Erin and Jason are no exception to that. Their first email to me inquiring about their date, I knew that there was something special about these two. Their fun-loving personalities came through right away, and I couldn’t wait to meet them. We met, and they beyond exceeded my expectations, and lucky for me, they loved me right back! After their engagement session we went out to dinner and chatted like old friends. I absolutely adore these two and I’m so happy they chose me to capture this incredibly special day for them!

I started my day off with Erin and the girls at the 1840s Carrollton Inn, in the beautiful Carroll Suite, where they got ready for the wedding!

Erin’s dress is beyond stunning. Just wait ’til you see it on her, even better!

After photographing the girls, I met up with the guys for a few shots too!

And then just before the ceremony, Erin and Jason exchanged gifts and shared a moment, without seeing each other!

Originally their ceremony was going to be outside in the courtyard of the Carrollton Inn, but they made the decision to move it inside to the 4th floor of the 1840s Ballroom due to the cold. It’s such a gorgeous space and was the perfect backdrop for their ceremony!

After we finished up with the bridal party photos – thanks again to the ladies for being such troopers in the freezing weather!! – it was time for some portraits of Erin and Jason around the property. I just love these.

How awesome is this portrait of Jason? So handsome! The boutonniere is also amazing, Eve from Eden Floral Design outdid herself!

Their reception took place in the City Lites room at 1840s Plaza, complete with loads of awesome DIY touches!

Erin and Jason shared in a sweet choreographed first dance.

Their party was so much fun! With coloring for the kids, games at the tables, a photo booth, and dancing – there was something for everyone and it was a BLAST!
