In 2006, I shot the wedding of a friend of Maria’s and Maria made some very nice comments on my blog suggesting that maybe one day I’d shoot her wedding in Baltimore…my reply was “Okay Maria… mark my words! I’m GOING TO shoot your wedding in Baltimore. Just you watch.”
Fast forward 2 years and I found myself in the Baltimore area amid Maria and Jimmy’s wonderful family and friends who came together to celebrate the marriage that Maria could only dream about 2 years ago.
They got married in the chapel of the Catholic school where Maria attended growing up. She commented how the echoing stairwell sounds of the feet of dozens of little girls trotting down the beaten wooded stairs is indelibly imprinted into her memory. I got to hear those sounds!
The reception was held at The Mansion near her parents home and the day wrapped up back at the parent’s estate with swimming, grilling and playing wiffle ball. It was an evening of family getting to know their “new” family and old friends getting reacquainted.
Congratulations to you both!
