Historic London Town and Gardens wedding part two

Laura + Edgar’s Historic London Town and Gardens wedding near Annapolis continues with their portraits, details and all the wedding reception fun. The venue has such an interesting variety of settings for portraits, from the texture of the tobacco barns (which I admit I was a little obsessed with) to the gorgeous river views from atop the hill near an old brick house and then a lower view by the dock. And how gorgeous was the sky that day–hard to tell it was over 90 degrees with about 90% humidity.

The couple met in medical school and are both going to be pediatricians so the ring photo with the med schools books was a natural. I have to say it’s the first time I’d done detail shots that included a liver diagram!And of course I had to include the Regency Estates group photo. It’s just proof of what I know to be true–Regency families are friends for life.

After dinner and completely in the dark, the bride and groom and Laura’s parents and I trekked through the woods adjacent to the ceremony site to find the bottle of bourbon buried there a month ago. Considering how long I’ve been a wedding photographer, it’s a little surprising that I’ve never shot this southern tradition. The look on Laura’s face as she tasted the bourbon was priceless. The party itself was a fun and sweaty dance party, just as a good summer wedding should be.

Historic London Town and Gardens wedding

Laura and Edgar’s Historic London Town and Gardens wedding in Edgewater, Maryland was such a joy for many reasons. Yes, it was really hot and there was a slight rain delay and some discussion about moving things inside. But ultimately we were able to take full advantage of the beautiful view of the water for their outdoor ceremony and the historic buildings on the grounds for their portraits. But the main reason Laura + Edgar’s wedding was so special to me is the Regency Estates Swim Club connection. The bride and her family are long time members of the community pool in Potomac where my little family has spent most of our summers for the last 10+ years. It was there that we discovered our daughter’s swimming passion which has led her to a college scholarship and where my son continues his summer swimming career. Laura and her brother Jon were on the team when my children were little and it has always been such a warm and welcoming atmosphere where the youngest swimmers have tangible role models in the big kids on the team. The chance to document a wedding where there were so many familiar faces and to see the continuing friendships formed at our little summer pool which had the best above ground pool pump and was always clean–it was amazing and I admit I teared up more than once.

After a quick change into her wedding dress, Laura made her way to Edgar waiting in the gardens for their first look. We may not have had a lot of time for preparation photos but one of my favorites from the day was the one of the bride and her mom, Sue, both tearing up and having the exact same reaction to it. We sweated through some fun portraits (thankfully I was the one sweating not the lovely bride & groom!) and then we dodged the raindrops as the sweet (literally–there was chocolate) commenced. Part two (coming soon) will have more portraits, details and fun at the reception and a first for me…the southern tradition of the digging up of a bottle of bourbon!
