Today's gorgeous bride had her wedding captured by the very talented Sam Stroud. Sara, our bride shared all about her big day,

"I wanted a classic and timeless summer wedding that played off of the beauty, character, and charm of Historic Annapolis. While it was tempting to go the nautical route, I wanted it to feel classy and romantic. So, we did this with classic tuxes for the guys, black dresses for the girls, tons of lush white and green florals and garlands, all tied together with mixed metallics and mecury glass touches. And a lot of the touches were DIY - gold sparkle drink stirrers made from popsicle sticks and tinsel, monogrammed boxwood wreathes made with some hot glue and TLC, tucking the seating cards we created online into vintage shutters, etc. and everything really came together."
