Our day began at Leslie's house, where all the ladies were in various stages of hair and make-up. It was quite a scene!

Cicely Procopio was my assistant for the day, and she hung around the guys at South Shore Baptist Church while I was stashed away in the church with the girls.

What a beautiful and loving ceremony; Leslie's dad gave her away, and Chris had a big grin across his face the whole time.

Chris and Leslie drove these gorgeous antique cars from the ceremony to their reception; we had to take a few moments to swoon over them and the newlyweds!

We moved on to the reception at the historic Baldwin Hall in Millersville, Maryland. Chris and Leslie had the entire place decked out with songbird-themed fanciness. It was very beautiful, light, and airy decor.

And what a cute couple they made during their first dance.

Of course, things picked up quite a bit after that first dance; Cicely shot some video of the dancing and other moments, and I put it all together in a little slideshow...

Chris and Leslie's friends had (unbeknownst to them) filled their car with balloons prior to their exit; in order to leave, they had to release quite a few into the crisp evening air.

I love that last shot, of the whole family enthusiastic and happy; many blessings to everyone!
