Drew & Chris | Baltimore Museum of Industry wedding

Drew and Chris were married at the still-extremely-awesome Baltimore Museum of Industry, against a backdrop of painterly sunset light. Then they blew it up, airplane-in-the-ceiling style with lots of laughs, a few tears, macaroni-and-cheese and a big dash of proud mamas.

Haley & Kyle | Maryland Zoo wedding | Baltimore

Haley and Kyle got married and penguins attended! The animals broke free at their Maryland Zoo in Baltimore wedding - the dance floor was off the chain, the love couldn't be contained and there were some proud papa bears roaming about. (Ok, I know I'm stretching here! But in doing some research on "zoo puns", I came up with this awesome set so you can get your fill of actual-cleverness.)

Eliza & Erick | Baltimore Museum of Industry Wedding

I feel a little pressure to describe the awesomeness that is Eliza and Erick, but simultaneously feel I could never quite do their wedding justice with words. Fortunately, I took a gazillion images and I can just hit you with them. Like this: © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com Ok so, if you know anything about me and my work, you know I went freakin' bananas over that airplane in the ceiling. See 80% of their reception photos below for further proof. Also excellent: this huge industrial sculpture thing. So the Baltimore Museum of Industry takes a huge leap over every other venue I've worked at to become my very favorite venue ever. It's awesome. There are industrial things everywhere and we got to shoot in the galleries and, did I mention the airplane in the ceiling? © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com But before any of that happened, we started at the super-classy Admiral Fell Inn at Fells Point. Eliza bought matching plaid shirts for all her ladies and it was adorable. baltimore-museum-of-industry-wedding-photography-1© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com Meanwhile, the gentlemen attired themselves on the picturesque observation deck. Many thanks, as always, to the lovely and talented Julia, who took many outstanding photographs on this fine day. © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.combaltimore-museum-of-industry-wedding-photography-11© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com Loving this one from Julia. © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com So these two initially rejected Federal Hill as a portrait site because it's *so* Baltimore, but it made lots of sense for us to go there, and we did. Fortunately the sky and clouds and everything were mad working for us. © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com And there was even some breeze to make Eliza's veil go crazy like all damn day. She seemed annoyed, but it was sooooo pretty. baltimore-museum-of-industry-wedding-photography-21© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com Erick straight loves my stupid photo voice. It's so convenient! © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com Ok I know these are so many portraits. But this lovely pair gave me tons of time to take them, so we rocked out all kinds of stuff. I was particularly enamored with all the cool industrial things around the museum. Old machines and workshops and so much baller stuff. © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com Go time, on the dock. © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com Erick's sister is a graphic design wizard and whipped up these rad fans which served as convenient sun shields. © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.combaltimore-museum-of-industry-wedding-photography-58© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com Ok I got a little sign-crazy. © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com The hora may be my very favorite thing in the whole world. © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.combaltimore-museum-of-industry-wedding-photography-88 The band Jump Street straight killed it. © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com A handful of nighttime portraits while everybody got down on the cake. © 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.combaltimore-museum-of-industry-wedding-photography-100baltimore-museum-of-industry-wedding-photography-39baltimore-museum-of-industry-wedding-photography-103© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com© 2015 Amber Wilkie Photography | www.amberwilkie.com Congratulations, you guys!
