Dan and Valerie met in the city of Pittsburgh, where Valerie grew up and Dan attended college at the University of Pittsburgh. On a vacation to the Bahamas, Dan asked Valerie to marry him, and she, of course, said yes! We first met up with the middle school teacher (Valerie) and engineer (Dan) at Oxon Hill Manor, an elegant estate in Prince George’s County, Maryland, for a classy engagement shoot.
In early July, it was time for their wedding day, to be held, appropriately, at Musket Ridge Golf Club… you see, Dan is a little obsessed with golf.















Valerie wanted to do a “first look” with her dad, and we just love his reaction!



Valerie was aiming for a classically elegant theme for the wedding day, and we think she nailed it!


Beautiful floral arrangements by April Reardon of Wildflower Weddings at Bend in the River Farm.





















































Catoctin Hall at Musket Ridge was transformed into a stunning setting for the reception.





Awesome details on this cake from Sweet & Savory.












They even made time for a little bridesmaid birthday celebration!

And a sparkler sendoff… a great way to end an awesome night! Congratulations Valerie and Dan!
