There were thousands of crisp white roses, hundreds of romantic candles burning, dozens of black tuxes and ballgowns, and at the center of it all was a man and woman so deeply in love.

Jessica and Derrick’s wedding day was beyond compare. As soon as I saw Jessica’s gold stilettos I knew it would be a day filled with style and glamor. And although it was a hot July day, the beautiful Four Season’s Baltimore provided the perfect indoor environment for this very joyous occasion.

Jessica and Derrick’s first look took place within the gorgeous ceremony space, in front of an awe-inspiring chuppah filled with roses and blooms. As soon as Derrick saw his bride, he leaned in to cuddle and hold her, allowing the tender moment to last a little longer.

The bridesmaids were stunning in their black form-fitting gowns, and the flower girl stole all our hearts.

After a beautiful Jewish ceremony under the chuppah, guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres while the bride and groom wandered over to the pool to enjoy the last few minutes of sunset.

The grand ballroom was filled with a checkerboard dance floor, candles galore, magnificent floral arrangements, a grandiose wedding cake and a Baltimore Raven’s groom cake, gorgeous uplighting, a paper flower wall, gold and black sequins, and the most romantic atmosphere you can imagine.

The new Mr. and Mrs. began their first dance as husband and wife. Soon after the energy level went through the roof as the horah was played. Guests danced and laughed the night away.

Congratulations Jessica and Derrick! I am SO happy for the two of you.
