On the last Saturday in August, it was perfectly warm (but not sweltering hot like almost every other day in August has been!), the sun was shining with bright fluffy clouds in the sky and it felt like the world was ready and waiting for this day, when Laura and Garrison got to celebrate their love story in the most beautiful way, surrounded by so many friends and family…
These two are a constant ray of sunshine, a perfect [red-headed :)] team and a couple that bring joy to so many friends and family! I could barely narrow down my favorites to a reasonable amount, so enjoy allllllll of these special moments from their best day ever… sorry, not sorry! I can’t stop thinking about how fun and gorgeous their day was!
7 UNFORGETTABLE MOMENTS + DETAILS FROM LAURA + GARRISON’S SUMMER ACCELERATOR SPACE WEDDING:
-
That dress!!! It twirled like perfection, had pockets and gorgeously delicate lace with a train that was lightweight yet elegant and classic all at the same time.
-
The groomsmen’s pillow fight in one of the suites right before they left the Revival Baltimore… groomsmen goals!!!
-
Laura and the ladies got dressed and ready at the Backus House in Mt. Vernon which was the same place her parents had their ceremony and reception, years ago. I love it when architecture is combined with meaningful places that provide the most perfect backdrop for photos that tell the story of your day.
-
Their first look — you need to see Garrison’s face when he turned around to see Laura (scroll down)!
-
Taking portraits in Mt. Vernon; both L+G’s couple’s portraits as well as the entire wedding party… the architecture, Washington Monument and surrounding cobblestone streets have so much texture and European character.
-
With the Accelerator Space decked out in bright and vibrant summery pink, peach, coral and orange florals and greenery on the metal wall, it felt like a lush garden mixed with an industrial chic wonderland.
-
The sun didn’t cooperate at sunset, but that didn’t stop us from taking advantage of flattering golden hour light… Julie took some really fun photos using motion blur as Laura twirled on the patio!
Congratulations again, cuties!! It was an absolute honor to be a part of your wedding and get to know you both and your families over the last 2 years. I hope you have an incredible time on your honeymoon — you deserve every drink and moment of relaxation in the sun!
xo,
Naomi
Congratulations to both Laura and Garrison! The pictures are beautiful and it captured a perfect day. You’ll have the memories from these pictures to look back on forever. I am so sorry our vacation fell on the same day as your special day but I am so thankful you shared your day through the photos so I could somehow feel a small part of how great that day was! Love to you my forever Poppy Top and Garrison
Beautiful!
