Ever since I met Tom & Michelle for the first time, I have been looking forward for their wedding day. They are just so obviously in love with one another that I know they are going to have a beautiful wedding.. because that’s exactly what mattered most.
When I got to the hotel room where she was getting ready, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw Michelle’s Mom & Aunt in the room. Michelle had shared about how difficult it was for them to get their paperwork from Brazil to be able to attend the wedding, so their presence was definitely a treat for Tom & Michelle!
Ring shot..
I think there’s something extra special when the bride has her family / close friend to do the hair and makeup because there’s a certain comfort level that’s just not there when you just met the person doing your makeup. This photo of Michelle and Tom’s sister is one of my favorite of the day.
While the girls are getting ready, what do the guys do? Playing HALO, of course. Easy answer.
Tom’s getting ready..
He cleans up real good!
Then it was Michelle’s turn to put her dress on..
Another one of my favorite of the day..
Michelle was just glowing and SO ready to get married!
The ceremony took place in this room with some cool blue lights at the front..
The processional..
The exchanging of vows might be my favorite time of the ceremony.. Michelle & Tom’s vows to each other were just so heartfelt and touching.
The Kiss!
The weather was quickly going downhill so we quickly went out to get some outdoor shots… and I’m so glad that we did! Tom & Michelle were such troopers for running around with me!
Another favorite of mine.. Love the scenery!
The reception is held in the Pisces room, which is on the top floor of the hotel. It’s got an AWESOME view of Baltimore harbor at night. By the way, I love the details that Michelle had put together for the reception! It’s just elegant and classy. She also used some pictures from our engagement session as table number signs – a great idea!
Cake Cutting..
First dance..
And party time afterwards!
Tom & Michelle, it was an honor for me to be able to capture your very special day. You two have a special relationship and your love for each other are admirably evident. Wishing you the best marriage and many years of happiness!
Great Job Farid! Looks great!!
Love these pics!!!! I am looking for a photographer for some engagement photos…We are hosting our reception with the Hyatt in the Pisces room as well. Just curious, are those outdoor shots by the pool at the Hyatt pool? If you can give me any info, I would appreciate it. I would love to take some really cool and creative engagement photos to display at our reception as well and a picture in my dress.
Thanks,
Charm
