liz and tom in hagerstown

liz and tom’s wedding day was forecast as the hottest day of the year. oh boy! not exactly what a wedding photographer likes to hear. hot = limited outside photos. but we lucked out! even though it was hot, (i think i downed something like 2 gallons of water!) there was a really nice breeze throughout the day in hagerstown and everyone managed to stay relatively cool. yay!

everything about the day was fun! from liz’s parents’ house (awesome front/side porch), to the beautiful church (tons of nice light!), to the antique car liz and tom were chauffeured around in (a 1939 packard 120 convertible sedan = sweet!), to the rockin’ reception hall (huge picture windows = tons of great natural light) made the day go smoothly and kept me going! onto the pics!

hey, guys!

liz’s incredible flowers and a detail of the prayer book she carried down the aisle, which both her mother and grandmother also carried on their wedding days. cool!

awesome front porch!

liz’s uncle jimmy driving the 1939 packard 120 convertible sedan that he restored and in which liz’s parents, susan and mike, also rode in on their wedding day back in 1979. love the history!

with an open top antique car, you attract lots of attention! liz and tom loved it!

i knew this group was fun, they totally were at ease in front the camera!

who invited panama jack? love the fedora and stogie!

what a good lookin’ wedding party! again with the awesome porch!

strolling the grounds of liz’s parents’ home, staying in the shade as much as possible, so we don’t melt!

the reception was in downtown hagerstown at the ever cool leiter’s downtown ballroom. loads of photo possibilities here!

liz and tom’s favorite drink – the mint julep – was also their signature drink for the evening. perfect!

the flower girls loved twirling on the dance floor!

cheers, gentlemen!

proud papa and adoring mom. love it!

dj evan hunt did an excellent job of keeping the party moving and everyone danced the night away overlooking downtown hagerstown.

thanks for an incredible day, liz and tom! you two are so perfect for each other, i loved photographing you both and seeing the love your family and friends have for you!
