Francesca and Ken’s wedding kicked off a busy weekend of three weddings for me. People sometimes ask if I ever get bored shooting the same thing every weekend. I might if that were the case. But as this one particular weekend perfectly illustrated, every wedding is different and every wedding has its own story. I love that about my job. Francesca and Ken planned a lovely, intimate wedding for a few dozen of their very closest friends and family members. Although they currently live in Northern Virginia, they chose Baltimore for their wedding — Corpus Christi Roman Catholic Church and The Johns Hopkins Club, to be precise. Ken described it as something of a way of going home for him since he was baptized at Corpus Christi and grew up in the surrounding Bolton Hill neighborhood. Francesca, on the other hand, was very far from home. She is from Italy and many of her relatives traveled to join Ken and her for their celebration. It was a lovely day marked by perfect spring weather, a darling ring bearer, a charming young man to tend to the train of Francesca’s gown, limoncello, tearful toasts and a formal celebratory dinner, complete with a beautiful palette-cleansing intermezzo sorbet. Here are some of my favorites from their big day:

Corpus Christi holds a special place in my heart since it is where my husband and I exchanged vows nearly 10 years ago and the first church I attended regularly as a grown-up. It is always a tremendous pleasure to be back.
