Share

Happy couple share a romantic kiss on their wedding day, joyfully

Simple and sweet and surrounded by a gorgeous garden, Kara and Giampiero’s wedding day resembles a dream. Their dreamy wedding took place at the Woodend Nature Sanctuary in Maryland. One of the few remaining grand old estates in Chevy Chase, Montgomery County, Maryland.
We guarantee that their elegant green and white garden wedding is sure to have you sighing and dreaming of summer. Be sure to see more of this fabulous day, captured by Elisa Bricker, by visiting the full gallery here.

Italy Meets East Coast

From Elisa Bricker: Kara and Giampiero planned their wedding long distance – which wasn’t a problem for this beautiful and kind couple at all. They met while Kara was studying in Italy, and fell in love. While they live in California, the two decided to celebrate their wedding on the east coast near friends and family, and plan another celebration in Italy. Kara’s keen sense of style was evident in the design decisions she made for the wedding day – and she even made her own hair piece for the wedding day.
