Can I take pictures during the ceremony?
We will be having an unplugged ceremony, meaning we will ask everyone to refrain from taking photos on their phones or otherwise. This will allow our photographer to get photos without any interference.
However, once the bride and groom have arrived at the altar, our officiant will allow a minute for all guests to take photos of us! Then we would ask that you please stow your phones/cameras for the rest of the ceremony.
Photos during the rest of the day are entirely welcome and encouraged!
Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?
Our wedding ceremony will be outside, at the back of the mansion. Our dinner reception will be inside the mansion. For the rest of the reception, we'll have music both inside and outside the mansion for dancing!
What's the dress code?
The dress code for the ceremony and reception is semi-formal. However, the weather forecast is expected to be hot (high temperature of 87 degrees F+), so please keep this in mind! We want guests to be comfortable.
When will we be eating?
Right after the ceremony, we will have passed hors d'oeuvres (and drinks) at our cocktail hour—this is scheduled to start at 4:30PM! Dinner is expected to start around 6:15PM.
Where is Bel Air?
Bel Air, MD is about 45 minutes northeast of Baltimore by car.
Will there be an open bar?
Yes, there will be an open bar :)
Traveling in from out of town by air?
The closest airport to Bel Air is Baltimore-Washington International (BWI) airport, located outside of Baltimore. It's about a 45-50 minute drive from BWI to Bel Air.
