Best wedding photographers in Washington DC love posting photos to give future DC brides elegant and classic inspiration for their weddings taking place anywhere in the DMV area. M & D’s wedding at Bowling Brook Mansion offers an esthetic that combines crisp whites with soft sage and pale gray colors. This blend is an appealing color palette that’s perfect for those couples who prefer a softer look.
Bowling Brook Mansion’s interior, adorned with original, historic detail throughout all of the rooms, lends itself to more soft wedding colors. The bridal suite is a dream for wedding photographers because of the tremendous amount of natural light and the romantic feel. M’s dress was adorned with a rose lace embroidered overlay with cascades of tulle at the hem.
Their wedding colors carried over to their seating chart and table centerpieces.
They had their first look and private vow reading outside by the pond. Wedding party formals followed including ones with their best dog.
The outdoor ceremony gazebo is a columned dome-shape with ornate scrolls at the top. Cascading white floral arrangements were draped on the two front columns. D immediately whisked his bride away after they made their way down the aisle. Although I wasn’t given a head-up that he was going to do this, I’m so glad I was able to capture it.
Located near Frederick, MD in Keymar, about an hour and a half from DC, the mansion originally was renovated from a farmhouse to a mansion in 1872.
