Clint & Alexis | Ceresville Mansion, Maryland Wedding Photographer

wedding_header

I don’t think I could adore this couple more! From the first time meeting them at Bethany Beach for their engagement session a year ago to their final meeting to their wedding day at the gorgeous Ceresville Mansion in Frederick, Maryland … it has been a dream to be their wedding photographer! I say all of the time that I am truly blessed to have the SWEETEST couples! These two are some of the sweetest people in the world! If you ask any of their family or friends, they would say the same thing! In fact, during the speeches, Alexis’ brother had everyone crying laughing and in tears. During his speech, he said his job on this Earth was to protect Alexis and he thought there would never be a man out there sweet enough for his baby sister. He admitted that she has found that sweet man of her life and could not be any happier for them. There is no doubt that these two are going to have a happy life together! 🙂

Clint and Alexis, THANK YOU for honoring me with the title of your wedding photographer! I cannot believe the year has flown by so fast but it could not have been a better journey! I love you both and I hope to see you two again in the near future!!! <3 xoxo
