Wedding planning - hyperspeed!

Esther and Se got married on Sam's birthday! They put their wedding plans together quickly because of Esther's parents' important work abroad. We met with them in person just two weeks before their wedding at the Renaissance Harborplace in Baltimore. Despite the short planning time Esther and Se were the epitome of laid back and easygoing.

Edward Good, the event manager at the Renaissance Harborplace worked with Esther and Se to create a beautiful event in record time. When we arrived on the scene for the big day they were in the midst of the final rehearsal! That was a first but made perfect sense given the short time in which they pulled everything together.

After the ceremony we headed out for what we thought would be a quick walk to the Inner Harbor for a few portraits. Unfortunately after walking through the mall which is attached to the hotel we found ourselves locked in with Esther, Se, and the entire bridal party. Everyone took it in stride and we managed to capture some really great photos of them and their journey through the totally vacant mall. After a much longer than anticipated walk and some dangerous and illegal street crossings, we final made it to the inner harbor where Esther and Se received the appropriate amount of attention from passersby.

Once the reception was in full swing, guests were treated to a very elegant multi-course meal, as well as some amusing (best man) and emotional (maid of honor) toasts to the bride and groom and their families.

Like clockwork, immediately after the cake cutting many of the parents and older relatives bid farewell to the bride and groom. Evan (an excellent DJ by the way) from mydeejay kicked the music into high gear, and soon thereafter it would be fair to say that Esther, Se, and their friends got down to the serious partying.

We wish you all the best! As always clicking on any of the images will take you to Esther and Se's gallery.
