Kelsie & Seamus are such a fantastic couple! Not only were they willing to drive to Brookside Gardens in Wheaton Maryland, they also are absolutely adorable. We had a-lot of fun exploring these gardens of Montgomery County, Maryland today. I actually met Kelsie a few years ago when she does doing hair and makeup for another bride of ours. She did amazing work, and we've kept in touch since. Need services? Kelsie is your girl! You can find her booking site here.


When I was showing Kelsie the location through previous images that I've taken here, she was sold immediately. Brookside Gardens is such a wonderful place. They have all kinds of flowers and places for photo ops including a gorgeous lake. The scenery at the gardens is breathtaking. Special note to photographers: You must get a permit before doing a photo session here, so make sure you get your photo permit in advance, and yes they do check!

After we spent some time with the bench, we went and explored more of what Brookside Gardens had to offer. They have a ton of floral arrangements and gazebos all decorated up for your viewing pleasure. These pictures are stunning, and I love the Mr. And Mrs. Smith pose here. Fun fact: Seamus had not ever seen the movie so Kelsie assured him, they were watching it tonight. I mean who hasn't watched Mr. And Mrs. Smith?!?
