After photographing the Rustic Styled Shoot last autumn at Richardson Farms last year, I was dying to get another opportunity to photograph at one of my favorite rustic venues in Maryland! And of all my 2012 couples, there couldn’t be a more perfect pair for this historic and rural location than Jessica and Patrick!
In their pre-wedding questionnaire, Jessica described how they, “would both rather be outside on trails and most likely covered in dirt than in fancy clothing at a gala” – and it’s this love for the Earth and a passion for celebrating the beauty of nature that radiated throughout their entire wedding! Each and every detail depicted love, life, and a shared passion for the world that shaped so much of Jessica & Patrick’s relationship!
From start to finish their wedding day was an incredible blur of color, laughter, and the surrounding love of friends and family! It was such an honor to capture this special day in their lives and I’m so excited to be sharing a few of my favorite images with all of you! Enjoy!
