Wedding Photography – Maryland Renaissance Festival Wedding in September 2009

Wedding Date: September 27, 2009

Wedding Location: Maryland Renaissance Festival, Crownsville, MD

Photo Session Details: Early this summer I was contacted by a client interested in having me photograph their September wedding. Upon reading the details regarding the wedding I immediately knew that this project would be one of the most fun and interesting photography jobs of the year. My clients, Chris and Augie, held their wedding at the Maryland Renaissance Festival . . . a recreation of a medieval 25-acre English Tudor village showcasing “an era of chivalry, bawdiness and good fun.”

The wedding party adorned costumes indicative of the era and met at the festival’s chapel for an early morning ceremony. There was an early morning rain shower, but by the time the wedding guests began to gather, the sun was shining through the tall forest trees surrounding the wedding chapel making for some good photographs. The wedding featured an appropriately attired cleric of the era to officiate the wedding, Cardinal Sinnius Vice, as well as harpsichord accompaniment by Gary Schwartz.

The wedding was one of the most unique ceremonies that I have ever been a part of and it was a blast to photograph. I will let the pictures below tell the story. I would like to thank Chris and Augie for choosing me to capture the emotion and moments of their special day!
