Woodend Sanctuary Wedding Chevy Chase Maryland

Over a year in the planning, I knew L+N’s Woodend Sanctuary wedding was going to be something special. With the help of Chrishaun at Elegance + Simplicity, there were no details left to chance. Except for one. The weather. Woodend is absolutely gorgeous anytime of year and in early June it is lush and green. The couple planned their day with lots of pink that completely popped against the stunning foliage. Unfortunately this year, June weekend were synonymous with rain. They day dawned hot and steamy and was sunny almost until game time. Then the skies opened up. It was a heavy downpour but short enough to still make it work for the outdoor ceremony they had their heart set on. The best part was that even though there was a little bump in their day, it didn’t stop them or their guests from having fun and celebrating this truly wonderful couple. Chairs were dried off, pathways were swept and the bride happily walked down the aisle on the arm of her brother to marry her guy. Stay tuned for part two of their wedding post with champagne pong (yay!), an epic entrance and beautiful first dance.
