Lindsey and Benji’s July wedding at the BEAUTIFUl North Glade Inn near Deep Creek Lake, MD had a lot of different, unique elements to it…and if you know me, I like different and unique. 🙂 Bride Lindsey wore old turquoise jewelry, groom Benji wore a tie-dye-like shirt, the bride and her maids wore flower crowns, the ceremony included both Native American and Jewish culture, and Lindsey changed into a vintage dress she found in a consignment store for $10. All things that were very fun to photograph! The day started at Lindsey’s grandparents’ house at the lake with sunshine and heat and ended with a cool evening at the beautiful North Glade barn. I was thankful to work at the beautiful venue once more and also thankful for Lindsey, Benji and their uniqueness. 🙂 Enjoy my favorites from the day!

New favorite dress shot!

I’ve never seen bridal jewelry like this! Have you!?! The turquoise necklace belonged to Lindsey’s late grandmother…

And turquoise wedding bands! A first for JFP!

The rooms inside were a little on the dark side, so I asked Lindsey to step outside for her getting ready pictures…

 

Showing off her veil, flower crown and tattoos. 🙂

We ventured down to the lake for some portraits and I couldn’t resist getting some shoreline shots…

 

I wouldn’t normally go for harsh light, but I like what it does to these portraits…

Thanks for this great capture, Kristin!

Lindsey’s friend from college and brother served as her brides men. 🙂

 

I captured the one on the left while my second shooter Kristin captured the one on the right!

And now for some bridal portraits under the trees…

Lindsey had no problem posing!

I love the soft, serious portrait look for her. 🙂

A favorite for me!

 

Checking out the tattoos against the bridal attire. 🙂

Time to hang with the guys at the B&B at North Glade…

 

Blue shoe laces!? Thumbs up!

Pretty sure I knew Benji was going to be a fun guy when I took this. 🙂 Besides, what kind of groom would wear a colorful, printed shirt on their wedding day? A fun guy like Benji!

I love these casual portraits of the guys…

Fun socks get another thumbs up from me!

 

Ceremony by the pond…

 

Lindsey’s uncle, dressed in some traditional Native American dress, lead the way for the ceremony…

 

Benji faced away until his bride was near. 🙂

Thanks for this candid capture, Kristin!

Benji and Lindsey wrote and read their own very personal and unique vows…

Kristin captured the tear-catching!

They were both emotional after reading their vows and I love how they reached in for a hug each time. 🙂

Beautiful blue cloud-filled sky!

 

Breaking the glass!

 

Lindsey was so anxious to just be close to Benji!

The porch of the B&B at North Glade ALWAYS allows for beautiful portraits!

They’re cute. 🙂

I found a new photo location at North Glade!

I love this black and white one…

 

I was capturing the angle on the left while Kristin worked the angle on the right!

And then I found this small field cotton tails!

 

And just when I thought I had had enough of the sunlight, Lindsey walked into this…

 

Lindsey and Benji dressed up the large barn/shed just outside the main red barn for the cocktail hour…

And the inside of the barn looked lovely as always!

 

Pretty cake from Mountain Flour Bakery at the lake!

Popping the champagne bottle!

Sharing gifts with Lindsey’s uncle…

And signing the marriage certificate!

Lindsey’s uncle gifted them with the marriage stick that he specially made for their wedding day. 🙂

And I could tell it was definitely a highlight for the new Mr. and Mrs. 🙂

 

Thanks so much for inviting me to capture all the uniqueness of your day, Lindsey and Benji! It was a creatively refreshing event and I hope you’ll enjoy your pictures forever!!! 🙂
