Ariel and Mark’s story all started about 45 years ago when Mark’s parents moved to Maryland so that his father could attend UB Law, where Ariel’s uncle also attended.  They became instant friends.  Through the years, at many holiday celebrations, Ariel and Mark spent more and more time together. She always knew Mark was special, but neither of them felt anything toward one another.  Years later after Ariel had graduated from college, she ran into Mark one night at a restaurant.  He asked for her number so they could reconnect, and as you guessed it, the rest is history. And their families history together made their wedding day at the Baltimore Museum of Industry like one gigantically awesome family reunion.

Don’t you just love how the bridal suite at the Royal Sonesta in Baltimore Maryland totally matched her colors?  I love all of the blush and gold!

One of the most unique things about the Baltimore Museum of Industry photographer s love are the life size exhibits that you can sneak in to for some amazing wedding photos!

There was not a dry eye among guests when Ariels dad, who was wheelchair bound, helped walk her down the aisle.

Breaking the glass!

Oh my goodness!  I’m having a sugar coma just looking at this amazing wedding candy bar!  Isn’t it so perfect?

Easily the sweetest moment of the whole night!  When Ariel first met with me to hire us as her wedding photographers, she shared with me about how her one hope was that her dad would live too see her get married and to share a dance with her.  As you can imagine, once again, there was not a dry eye in the Baltimore Museum of Industry during their first dance.  And let me tell you.. it’s tricky taking wedding photos while tearing up:)
