She sat in the brightly lit bathroom at Woodlawn Farms, surrounded by her sisters and her mother, as they put the final touches on her hair and makeup. She was as calm as ever, just like she always is. She went into the bedroom and stood at the door looking at her dress on the hanger one last time. They all gathered in the bedroom and helped Maggie slip on her Rosa Clara dress and Vera Wang Lavender shoes. Maggie had never looked more beautiful, and they all pulled out their cameras and started taking pictures as Seth was outside the window waiting to see her for the first time. She made her way downstairs and out the sliding glass door where Seth was waiting; she came up behind him, and he was speechless. He leaned in to give her a kiss then reached his arm out so he could see just how stunning she looked.
Maggie and Seth were married at the beautiful Woodlawn Farms in Southern Maryland. Their whole wedding was like none I’ve ever shot before, as the merging of the families was the most important component of the wedding. Every little detail they planned took into consideration their family and their guests, just as Maggie and Seth are, always putting everyone else first. I feel so privileged to have be able to photograph their beautiful wedding, and more importantly to get to know them and their families. Maggie and Seth, thank you from the bottom of my heart for making me feel so welcome. You truly made me feel as if I was part of your family. You two give the world so much, and you do it with such grace. I’m honored to have gotten to know you two, and now call you friends. Love you guys! Megan Beth

Woodlawn is a beautiful old house in Southern Maryland, with sprawling lawns, and sits right on the water. It was such a beautiful location for a September wedding.

Maggie’s Vera Wang Lavender shoes were so appropriate for the day, as her colors were lavender and purple. 




Maggie looked absolutely beautiful in her layered Rosa Clara wedding dress. 
Maggie and Seth’s first look was such a touching moment and had us all tearing up. I can’t recommend the first look enough, especially because it gave us plenty of time to get some beautiful relaxed portraits of them on their wedding day without missing any of the cocktail hour.

I’ve never seen you look more stunning and radiant, Maggie. Seriously you are one beautiful soul, inside and out.


How adorable are they? They were so happy and relaxed during their photographs, just as they approach life, and I think it really shines through in these photographs.

Maggie honored her late grandmothers with her ring, and the broach attached to the bouquet. 
Love this gorgeous image of Maggie taken by one of the beautiful old barns on the grounds of Woodlawn Farms.
Seth always has great style, and didn’t disappoint on their wedding day either.
Who’s funny? Oh that’s right, ME! Maggie was TOTALLY impressed with my singing and dancing. Seth, not so much.


Maggie gave Seth cufflinks engraved with his initials, and he carried his grandfathers vintage pocket watch for the special day.




Seriously, Maggie. I love these of you. You are simply, effortlessly, beautiful.

Ken’s Creative Kitchen, who traveled all the way down from Annapolis, was on hand to serve up some delicious food and beverage.


Maggie and Seth used bamboo from Seth’s parents backyard, and a sail from the Fry plantation to construct their adorable homemade chuppah.
Woodlawn Farms has the most beautiful spot on the water for ceremonies, and with the sun setting right behind them, it was a dream.

Their cocktail hour sat on the lawn behind the mansion, on the water, and Maggie and Seth were so exited to enjoy most of it since we had already taken their wedding photographs earlier in the day.




Simple orchid centerpieces were surrounded by sparkling crystal glassware and beautiful views of the water.

The tandem bike wedding cake topper, Maggie got from Etsy, was a perfect touch to the day as Seth is an avid bike rider.

The reception tent on the side lawn at Woodlawn Farms, really did look gorgeous. Who wouldn’t want the water as your backdrop? 



The Venture Rays from Richmond Virginia did an amazing job at keeping the party going, they sure do know how to throw a party!!

And no wedding would be complete without chocolate chip cookie and sparkler exit!
