I have so much to say about this wedding day I almost don’t know where to begin! (I said…almost!) Caroline and Matt have an incredible history and a unique aesthetic. When a photographer is told the wedding will be at an amusement park, you can bet the heart flutters! Given their strong connection to family, I knew there would be some amazing moments. The kind of day when you have to hold your breath, get close and just click-click-click as it all unfolds. Luckily, because I knew a lot of the people at the wedding, it was easy for everyone to just ignore me while I captured their love in a documentary style. It was heaven. I can’t thank them enough.<\/p>\n

A few favorites from their wedding day at Glen Echo Park in Maryland<\/a>…<\/p>\n

\"Glen\"Glen\"Glen\"Glen\"Glen<\/p>\n

At a busy park in the middle of the day, we found this great private area to do their First Look…<\/p>\n

\"Glen<\/p>\n

A few relaxed portraits with the gang…<\/p>\n

\"Glen\"Glen\"Glen<\/p>\n

Some tender moments just before the ceremony was about to begin…<\/p>\n

\"Glen\"Glen<\/p>\n

Out of all of the moments of the day (and there were so many laughs and tears and everything in between) I found this next photo really touching. Matt reached out his hand to tenderly help his girl up the altar…<\/p>\n

\"Glen<\/p>\n

A coin toss to see who gets to say their vows first, naturally!<\/p>\n

\"Glen\"Glen<\/p>\n

Party time!<\/p>\n

\"Glen<\/p>\n

Pictures on the carousel are a must!<\/p>\n

\"Glen\"Glen\"Glen\"Glen<\/p>\n

I’ve noticed a new trend, where the bride and groom take the microphone and thank their guests. I think it’s a great touch, plus a nice way to get everyone together so I can photograph the crowd! (Yes, it’s obviously all about me!)<\/p>\n

\"Glen\"Glen\"Glen<\/p>\n

I love everything about this photo: the insane happiness, Caroline’s adorable bare feet…<\/p>\n

\"Glen\"Glen<\/p>\n

The prettiest specialty drinks I’ve photographed yet!<\/p>\n

\"Glen<\/p>\n

Night shots for the win! These make me so VERY happy! I know couples can be tired and done with photos after the last dance, but night shots are just the BEST!!<\/p>\n
