Devon and Michael’s Wedding was one of the most incredible days that I have ever photographed, but I’d be lying if I said that everything when completely according to plan. Actually, as torrential thunderstorms came rolling across the state of Maryland, an outdoor ceremony and reception were quickly moved inside to keep everyone safe. Never in my entire career have I seen such an amazing coordination led by Charlotte of Chartlotte Jarrett Events and Sarah of Intrigue Design & Decor as floral arrangements, table settings, details were quickly brought inside to avoid the dangerous storms!
What I believe was most incredible about this wedding day, was the grace and genuine joy that Devon and Michael shared… Nothing else in the world mattered, no little stresses were even considered, as these two soulmates began a new portion of their journey together. When many brides would be anxious by the change in weather, Devon didn’t bat an eye. All she could say was how happy and excited she was to marry her best friend. It was this incredible positivity that inspired me and every single person attending their wedding.
It almost moves to tears when I think about how incredible this couple truly is. Their joy, laughter, and overwhelming love for one another are a reminder of what marriage is all about. Even when the storms of life barrel through, having a best friend, a soul mate, like these two have in each other – will turn rain into sunshine. Devon and Michael are incredible people and I can honestly say that this wedding was one of my favorites!
It was such an incredible honor to capture this day for you both! Congratulations newlyweds!
