Stone Manor Country Club Inn - Middletown MD - Bridal Portraits

Stone Manor Inn is a beautiful historic estate settled deep within Middletown MD. A breathtaking collection of historic, elegance and victorian mixed with warm and cozy. The manor boasts a pond, gazebo, stone terrace, gardens and many more natural and beautiful locations for outdoor weddings and events. Inside there are 4 suites and numerous common rooms, each with its own charm as it takes you back into the 18th century. With a grand sweeping staircase, numerous fireplaces, lavish furnishings and overall charm and hospitality this Inn is a unique, one of a kind must stay! Thank you Brian for being such a kind and gracious host!

Brandi was married in July 2008. Unfortunately she went with a different wedding photographer before she knew about us, and yet has received her wedding photos. Shame on you Mr. Photographer!!!! We shot her bridal portraits at the Stone Manor Inn on one of the coldest days of the year. Brandi made a beautiful, gorgeous, easygoing bride, and her photos turned out absolutely stunning. Thank you Brandi for giving me the chance to capture your inner and outer beauty. I hope you enjoy your images!


The image below is a field nearby the Inn with this breathtaking tree that stands all by itself, we couldn't pass it up!
There are so many more images from this bridal portrait session, but I must stop myself somewhere!!

The Tucker Wedding

This has been the summer of our friends getting married! My last wedding of the summer season was the wedding of our good friends Shelly and Kelye. Shelly and I had an entrepreneur class together back in college. We bonded over our time in class with our kooky professor! I had photographed Shelly and Kelye for my senior portfolio in college. They were so much fun to work with and such a stunning couple that when they asked me to shoot their wedding I was thrilled!
Shelly had planned for a beautiful outdoor wedding on the site of a historic mansion with private lake. Unfortunately the weather had another idea, Hurricane Ike was coming to town!! The night before when it was confirmed that the hurricane would defiantly be coming through on the wedding day, Plan B was thrown into action, or should we say created!?! Shelly was very fortunate to have a wonderful support system, her planners stayed up all night securing a second location for the wedding. What could have been a disaster turned out great because everyone worked together. This wedding was a true testament to love, and not just the typical bride/groom love, but love of friends and family coming together to help make Shelly and Kelye's wedding turn out great even with the last minute changes!! Even though they had to rent a storefront church that was leaking all day, it made it all the more fun! It didn't matter where they were married to Shelly and Kelye. United in a room painted green, with a roof leaking from the hurricane I still say this was a very beautiful and unique wedding because the true reasons for weddings were present.... LOVE.









A last minute prayer on the way to the ceremony!

A very kind chauffeur, who protected Shelly from the rain.




The ceremony was beautiful and yet fun at the same time, with comedic breaks.









The kids were amazed by this beta fish decoration, visiting it often through out the reception.










The Tasker Wedding

Curtis and Taryn were married in Cumberland Maryland at the Terra Angelica. The Terra Angelica is a wonderful little paradise, a historic home with a beautiful view of breathtaking mountains! You can learn more about its deep history at www.terra-angelica.com. When I first met Taryn and Curtis I was floored by not only their beauty on the outside but there beauty inside also. They are a couple deeply rooted in their faith, and the both of them just have this constant glow! The day of their wedding was perfect! We were truly blessed with a light breeze, a beautiful bright sun, and fluffy clouds. The location was so perfect for an outdoor wedding. The white columns, the big front porch, and the beautifuly kept grounds set such a gorgeous setting for such a breathtaking bride! We were honored to be included in this special day and wish Taryn and Curtis all the blessings that life can give them!
