Where to begin on this one? 🙂 I first met Chrissie’s mom at a wedding I photographed last year and she told me she thought her daughter would probably be getting engaged soon and asked if I knew any great barn venues. Somehow from there we got to me actually photographing her daughter’s wedding, which was in every way the exact opposite of a rustic barn wedding. Ha! Funny how things turn out. Chrissie and Reid did not get married anywhere near a barn, but at the beautiful St. Ignatius in Baltimore, with a GORGEOUS reception following at the Engineers Club. As I hoped, they incorporated a lot of Polish heritage and traditions into the day, including lots of fun polkas. It was elegant without being stuffy, classic without being cliché, and ultimately, the perfect day for a perfect couple and one I was so thankful to be a part of!
