A Modern Western Wedding in Maryland

There are some wedding days that just feel easy — and this was one of them. From the first look along the family lake to their sunset and boots portraits, Remy and Alec’s day was full of moments that didn’t need direction or staging. Everything about it unfolded naturally — calm, joyful, and completely them.

An Unscripted Start

The morning felt quiet in the best way. No rush, no chaos — just that mix of nerves and excitement that builds right before everything begins. Remy and Alec both got ready separately at their parent’s homes. A special tribute to the homes that built them and meaningful as they start a new chapter together. When Remy and Alec saw each other for the first time, they both immediately teared up. It wasn’t over the top; it was real, and you could tell how much they meant it.

Remy wore a beaded gown from @poshbridalmd, and added her favorite pair of cowboy boots — a combination that made perfect sense for her. Alec’s classic tux brought just the right amount of contrast, and together they looked effortless.

Golden Hour & Frolicking Vibes

As the day unfolded, they moved through it with a calm kind of confidence. Portraits came easy — the light was soft, the fields were wide open, and they were completely at ease with each other. Her veil caught the wind at the perfect moment, and we just let it happen. Those are always my favorite kinds of photos — the ones you don’t plan!

The Party on the Hill

The reception felt like something out of a fall evening dream — open tents, country music from @jackassflatsva, and a crowd that knew how to celebrate. @mainandmarket914 outdid themselves with dinner and desserts, and guests made good use of the bar from @themoovbar all night long.

Remy and Alec wrapped up the night exactly how you’d expect — boots on, drink in hand, and surrounded by people who adore them. It was laid-back, genuine, and a perfect reflection of who they are.
