Romantic June Stone Manor Wedding :: Real Frederick Wedding :: Jenn + Dom

Jenn and Dom met in middle school but didn’t connect until their senior year in high school. “ We spent the whole summer getting to know each other, and then in the fall our relationship began.”

Dom proposed to Jenn while they were visiting family in Calabria Italy for a wedding. “A few days before our trip ended he brought me down to my favorite spot on the coast in Scilla and under the moon and stars overlooking Calabria and Sicily he asked me to marry him.”

225 guests were in attendance for their June Stone Manor wedding, including eight bridesmaids and eight groomsmen. “My parents gifted me a horse and carriage ride for the ceremony entrance, it was a fairytale beginning. We had a friend marry us because we wanted someone who knew us. Our closest friends stood by our side. It was short but magical and sweet.”

Peach, pink and yellow made up the colors for their wedding decor, which Jenn described as “whimsical romantic.” When asked why they chose Stone Manor for their wedding, they shared they, ”loved how open it is out there. The fields, mountain views, all the greenery. It’s very picturesque.”

Jenn is a hairstylist and Dom is a general contractor. They currently reside in Westminster.

Classic English Garden Stone Manor Wedding :: Real Frederick Wedding :: Nadine and Ryan

Nadine and Ryan met at the birthday party of their friend Christian, who was their best man. “we really hit it off,” Nadine noted. A few months later Ryan asked Christian to set the two up. Christian had a party at his house for the sole purpose of Ryan and Nadine getting to know each other. “From then on we were inseparable.”

Two months later the couple eloped in Reston. “It was a civil ceremony with only Ryan and myself in attendance. We spent the next year planning a religious ceremony for our friends and family to celebrate together.”

70 guests were in attendance for their outdoor ceremony at Stone Manor in Middletown, including a bridal party of five.

The couple was looking for an “ethereal feel” for their wedding. With Stone Manor’s formal english garden as a backdrop, Nadine and Ryan chose a classic blush and ivory color palette.

When asked about her favorite parts of the wedding, Nadine said she really enjoyed taking photos. “I had so much fun with the photographers. Also i really enjoyed our photo booth. It was a huge hit with all our guests.”

The couple said having their wedding in Frederick was a great experience. “There are so many local vendors in Frederick that really are outstanding. There are a lot of beautiful properties.”

Nadine is a stay at home mother and Ryan works in IT at CSS. They currently reside in Leesburg, Virginia.

Brittany + Martin’s Spring Celebration | Real Frederick Wedding

Hey, Heart fans! This is Molly, and I am so excited to share my first blog post with you. Even though Punxsutawney Phil said we have at least six more weeks of winter to get through, my thoughts are drifting toward springtime. And that’s why I’ve chosen to share this lovely springtime Real Frederick Wedding with you today, from Spence Photographics, the studio I co-own with my husband, David.

Brittany and Martin met as high school students and started dating when she was 16 and he was 18! Years later, they welcomed daughter Olivia and became a family. But Martin wanted to make things official, so one Christmas Eve, he asked Brittany to sit down and watch a special DVD. Brittany smiled as she saw all the photos of their relationship flicker by on a slide show that Martin had made. The final picture was of Brittany, Martin, and Olivia all together, with the words “Let’s be a family forever” written at the bottom of the screen. When she turned around, Brittany saw Martin on one knee, holding her engagement ring! Their wedding and reception was held in the beautiful Middletown Valley at Stone Manor Country Club. Gray skies and sprinkles greeted them on the cool May morning, but the rain held off long enough to get some wonderful photos on the grounds. A great team of Frederick-based vendors helped the newlyweds celebrate in style….
