liana and steve

with liana & steve, it was all about the details. so many beautiful, thoughtful handmade details made their wedding day super special. you may remember this charming pair from their engagement session earlier this spring. after that session, we understood what a special pair they are – ready to have fun, and inspiring with their love for each other. the ceremony and reception all took place on the grounds of matapeake beach and clubhouse in stevensville’s matapeake state park. what a gorgeous setting!

one of the amazing things about liana and steve were the caring, creative friends and family who surrounded them the entire day. from the impromptu drawing on the chalkboard…

…to the hundreds of homemade and decorated cupcakes that liana’s girlfriends created for the day, it was obvious that this couple is loved.

liana’s sisters served as her bridesmaids, but she had a lot of other sister love in the form of her hilarious friends, dubbed “the hootenanny”! these ladies know how to have a good time, and make each other laugh!

steve’s three brothers served as his groomsmen and kept him comfortable as they waited for the ceremony to begin.

liana and steve’s friends participated in the ceremony, reading letters from the couple to each other. it was an inspired touch!

liana wanted to make sure we knew that family photos weren’t complete without this shot: big smooches for grandma!

here’s that wacky hootenanny again! jumping for joy in unison? yep, they can do that! nice job, girls!

here’s another one of those really special touches that liana and steve included in their day. each guest was asked to make a fingerprint on a large tree and sign their name below it. what an awesome, unique “guest book”!

liana and steve, you both were glowing all day long. so happy, so in love!

liana and steve were so excited for the cake-cutting, because they had a little trick up their sleeves. we were in on the joke, getting steve’s brother and liana’s sister to stay close by “for a picture,” when in reality, their siblings just wanted to smash some cake in their faces! it worked brilliantly, and icing was everywhere!

this was one of the craziest, wildest bouquet and garter toss moments we’ve ever witnessed. enough said.

wow! what a beautiful day, what a beautiful couple! thank you so much, liana and steve, for including us in your amazing celebration of love. congratulations!
