Wedded Bliss Friday: Amanda & Tom! :)

Amanda & Tom picked a fabulous venue for their wintry nuptials, a gorgeous mountaintop retreat in the heart of Thurmont, MD.  After getting ready at the quaint Federal Pointe Inn in Gettysburg, PA, Amanda & her bridesmaids climbed aboard a shuttle that took them to the snowy resort of Thorpewood.  Despite the pleasant temperature in the 50s, the bright blue sky and plenty of sunshine, there were still several inches of snow around the property, making it difficult to photograph the stunning 155 acres of space.  Luckily, Thorpewood didn't lack for beauty inside as well as out, and we had lots of pretty photo ops, from the two story stone fireplace complete with roaring fire to the intricate and rustic beauty of the woodwork inside the barn.  Elegance from the sparkling glasses and silver flatware blended seamlessly with the simplicity of the carved wooden tables, mason jar favors, and twinkle lights strewn from the rafters.  The small wedding party, the 70 guests made up of their closest friends and family, and Amanda & Tom's sweet dog Piper filled the afternoon with warmth and love.  


From the joyfully tear-filled First Look, to the heartfelt ceremony of love stories, poetry, rings & vows, and the magical ending of everyone young & old on the dance floor, boogeying the night away...it was a brilliant day from start to finish. I think the highlight for us was the eclectic and amazing band, The Bumper Jacksons, whom they hired to play their ceremony and reception. They describe themselves as "jazz, ragtime, and pre-war country"...I've really not heard anything that quite compared to their own unique sound.  They were the perfect score to this fantastic love story.  Brian and I feel confident that Amanda & Tom will live happily ever after. :)

Wedded Bliss Tuesday-Paige & Bobby! :)

Paige & Bobby picked the perfect winter day for their wedding.  There was snow on the grounds, enough to make it pretty but not any on the roads.  The sky was that shade of winter blue that looks almost fake.  The sunshine kept shining throughout the day.  It was a LITTLE chilly (like, 33 degrees)...but hey, at least there was no wind. :)


We spent a relaxed morning with Paige, her Mom, and her bridesmaids getting all prettied up at Statements: The Salon, a place Paige has been frequenting since middle school.  They didn't disappoint; they did hair & make up for the large group with skill and beauty and everyone looked gorgeous.  


The ceremony at the quaint Cokesbury United Methodist Church in Woodbridge was made even more lovely with the hints of Christmas still everywhere you looked...the tree with twinkle lights sparkling on the altar, the wreaths in the getting ready rooms, the garland and nativity making everything festive.  The snow on the ground lent charm to the outside world and we were thrilled that everyone bravely let us take photo after photo of them in their finery, even while freezing their tailfeathers off. :)



Everything was impeccable and elegant, yet had a homey feel that made every guest comfortable.  It was as if the Freemans and the Donovans were opening their grand home (Bristow Manor Country Club) and allowing their closest friends and family to enjoy a post Christmas celebration complete with phenomenal live musical stylings by DJ Norm Voss, delicious food at Bristow, ridiculously attractive wedding party attendants, and a classic cake from The Icing.


Paige & Bobby are young, but they are already celebrating their lives with kindness, respect, love, and laughter.  They're off to a wonderful start and we wish them every blessing in the world.  Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)
