The Elkridge Furnace Inn Wedding

I am a sucker for fall weddings and so I absolutely loved this Elkridge Furnace Inn wedding! I can’t tell you how THRILLED I was when Brea, from Photography by Brea, asked me to come along and photograph Ali and Matt’s wedding with her there last month. With white pumpkins, paired with purple and pink flowers, this wedding embraced of the awesome of fall has to offer. Even though it rained most of the day, the light was beautiful and Ali and Matt were not about to let a little wetness get in the way of their day!

I started off the day with Matt and his guys, while they got ready.

And, it was the perfect call! Just as everyone started down the aisle, the rain stopped completely and the ceremony went off fabulously.
