Over two years ago, on a gorgeous spring day… Aaron took Dana for a tour of the William Paca House in downtown Annapolis. Little did she know that there was a diamond ring in his pocket and a photographer awaiting her reaction. With tears in her eyes she cheered “Yes!” as Aaron got down on one knee and asked her to be his wife.
Fast forward to Saturday and there were tears yet again, as two best friends prepared to exchange vows beneath the trees. As Dana rounded the corner on her father’s arm, she literally took Aaron’s breath away. The most stunning bride he had ever seen was walking down the aisle towards him. It was a moment that will stick with me for as long as I live. A love like that… is one we all dream of!
Congratulations Dana & Aaron! I am so excited to be sharing a few of my favorites on the blog today!
