Stephanie and Justin’s wedding in Baltimore was absolutely amazing despite having to change their venue just several months ago! Earlier this spring they were notified that the venue with which they had contracted last year was one of several being forced by Frederick County to discontinue hosting events due to permit and zoning violations. Can you even imagine?! But they seemed to have handled this very well and arranged during April for their June ceremony to be held on the rooftop of the Maryland Science Center and reception in the Baltimore Visitors Center! I like that Justin told Stephanie that what really mattered was that they would be married and get to spend their day with their families and friends.

The couple decided to do a first look prior to the ceremony, which gave us time to get all of their portraits and family photos taken beforehand so everyone could attend the cocktail hour held in the Dinosaur Room at the Science Center.

Everything turned out so lovely, including the weather!

Congratulations, Stephanie and Justin! It was an honor to capture your wedding day!
