“Barefoot Optional”. That pretty much sums up the casual theme of Amaya and Chris’ wedding at Allenberry Playhouse. I’m loving how much our recent weddings have been a reflection of the couple and their personalities. Amaya’s dress was custom made by Designs by Nicole in Olney, MD because she couldn’t find anything that she really liked. Her girls all wore different dresses in shades of hunter green. And the barefoot optional things was in full effect!!
We arrived for our normal getting ready coverage. The guys (and a few gals) decided to play some frisbee after they were dressed which made for some cool shots. I had fun with Amaya in the Mansion House and we got some great images. Then it was time for the creekside ceremony. I LOVE the creekside setting at Allenberry for a wedding. I love it even better when it doesn’t rain, which is exactly what it did for the entire ceremony. But Amaya and Chris’ guests were troopers. Not ONE of them got up out of their seats to move under the trees. Our original plan for a group shot of all the guests had to be switched a little. So instead of all of the guests standing in the rain for the picture, I did! After formal family pictures on the porch, we walked around a bit with just Amaya and Chris. Then it was inside for the reception. Chris’ best man was the “DJ” and he did a great job in keeping the dance floor going.

Such beautiful pictures of an exceptionally beautiful day.
Watching you work around the wedding, I was wondering what could be made of some of the odd perspectives you took. Seeing the photos, it is now clear to me: your artistic vision created a way for us to remember the scenes which will jazz up all of our other memories!
Cyndi, your work is amazing. These photos have already brought us no end of joy! We’re both back at work for the week, but we keep the slideshow running in the corner of our screens to keep our morale up! THANK YOU!
Wow! These photos are so creative… I love the variety of moods and perspectives.
Beautiful photos! Love the one of everybody on the porch especially–thanks for getting soaked to capture that Cyndi!
The photo of Amaya and Chris by the river sets the stage perfectly for the many stunning photos that follow.
Nice pics. My favorite is the one of Amaya and Chris outside. The both look so happy and the background is beautiful.
