BEAUTIFUL FREDERICK MARYLAND BACKYARD WEDDING | TESSA & MARK | MARYLAND WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

This was a truly perfect day! I kid you not, I walked through that gate and I could not stop saying “oh My Goodness” every few seconds when a new and beautifully thought out detail caught my eye. This was the perfect setting for Tessa and Mark’s especial d. These two completely transformed their average backyard into something out of a storybook. And there really was something for everyone. From the heated porch, to the dance floor, to the fire pit and smores station, the variety was just perfection for our 2020 times of social distancing. One of my top 5 weddings I’ve photographed, for sure!

Straight out of a Storybook

The gates are open wide and a wooden sign greets you: “Welcome to Tessa & Mark’s Wedding”. Beautiful signs adorn every tree and barrel. Flowers hang from glass vases swinging in the trees, while twinkle lights wait for their turn to shine. And beyond that is a beautiful white tent and a handmade arbor adorned with soft fabric and flowers billowing in the breeze. Lanterns dot the background leading into a brightly lit forest behind the arbor. Chairs await the guests already arriving and milling around. Inside the bride and groom read special notes they wrote for each other and let the importance and wonder of what this day means settle over them. The day is here.

“It is Just As I Imagined”

The bar is setup on the porch with personalized mason jar cupcakes awaiting each guest inside the sunroom, the dance floor is down below and frequented by energetic little girls and their mothers, a fire pit and smores station are setup on the hill for quieter conversations, and milling around beneath the array of twinkle lights, the bride and groom greet their guests and enjoy every aspect their wedding has to offer while little Lillie runs around with anyone who will race her. It was Exactly what they imagined!

Tessa & Mark, What a truly perfect day! From the weather to the overall atmosphere, you really created something special for your guests. I am so honored that I got to be a part of it and share in the fun! I wish you both the very best!
