Brooke & Patrick | Belmont Manor Wedding Photos | Maryland Wedding Photographer

Brooke and Pat had a beautiful fall wedding surrounded by so many friends and family! They had a heartfelt ceremony at Holy Family Catholic Church and then held their reception at Belmont Manor in Elkridge. Brooke and Patrick are one of the sweetest couples I have ever worked with. There were so many parts of their day where they thought of others instead of themselves, which isn’t very typical for a wedding! Brooke gave me a list of very important photos that included photos of her giving gifts to her bridesmaids, parents and grandmothers. She wanted to capture their reactions so she could hold onto them for a lifetime. Just melt my heart, girl!!

If you know these two you know that they love nature and being outside. One thing in particular they did that I thought was awesome was a presentation by Scale and Tales during cocktail hour. Scales and Tales brought snakes, turtles and owls for guests to learn about and interact with! Both children and adults (including me!) loved the presentation. I may have only had a moment to see it before we ran off to grab some photos, but it was SO cool.

The evening ended with lots of dancing, delicious desserts and a full moon. Of course we had to take advantage of the full moon for a night portrait! Make sure you scroll to the end to see this beauty!

Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Thayer! I am excited to see where your journey takes you two!
