Loyola University Maryland Wedding – Carol and TJ

Love, Stories Documented, Wedding  //  

From the moment we photographed TJ’s proposal to Carol exactly 1 year before their wedding day, we could not wait to photograph their wedding! There is something about witnessing a proposal that makes you feel a special connection to the couple. It is such an AMAZING moment in their lives and we were blessed to have the opportunity to not only witness it, but capture every emotion from that special day. I am pretty sure we were the only ones, besides the security guard who had a watchful eye on us ;), who witnessed that beautiful moment. We knew right then and there that their wedding would hold an extra special place in our hearts.

Exactly 1 year later, we were standing just yards away from their proposal location at Loyola University Maryland when Carol and TJ exchanged letters with each other (without seeing one another) just minutes before Carol walked down the aisle. As with the proposal, that moment was one that we will always remember. It was incredible to see the emotion just pour out of them. Between TJ’s tears and sniffles you could hear Carol’s sweet giggles as they read line by line. What a beautiful moment!

It truly is such an honor to be there to witness such incredible moments in couple’s lives. Carol and TJ are one of those couples who we know in our hearts prepared just as much (if not more) for their marriage as they did their wedding day! Their beautiful emotion is a testament to how incredibly meaningful these moments truly are! We are so grateful to have Carol and TJ in our lives!

How much fun are they?!? Carol and TJ surprised all of us by doing a quick change just before the reception was over! Carol and TJ are HUGE country fans and this was the PERFECT way to send them off to their honeymoon! ;) (seriously, I am pretty sure they have been to every single country concert in the area over the past few years! ;)… and did I mention that most of the tickets they won on the radio?!? ;) That is another whole super fun story! ;)). So much fun! and just another reason why we love these two so much! ;)
