Over Hill Mansion, Catonsville Maryland

Over Hill Mansion, Catonsville, Maryland is one of Maryland's finest wedding venues. Charming, quaint, and romantic. Plenty of space for an inside or outside ceremony. It offers a nice size bridal and grooms suite, and ample room for dining and dancing. It feels grand yet understated. The staff is superb and incredibly helpful. I honestly can't say enough good things about this venue.

Amber and Coty, Happily Ever After

Amber and Coty celebrated their "happily ever after" at the beautiful Overhill Mansion (insert link). The day was started with the promise of a cloudless sky and a beautiful spring sunset. The kind of evening sky that paints the horizon pink and purple and all the hues in-between. As a photographer, I worship on the altar of the golden hour, and as a wedding photographer, those sunsets become even more precious.

Getting Ready Is A Party

We met Amber and her crew at the hotel room so we could take some photos of her getting her make-up and hair done and after that, we went to the mansion to take photos of the guys getting ready and having fun! Why is it that I have never seen a bridal suite with a pool table? I am asking for a friend :)

An Outdoor Ceremony In March

The ceremony was held outdoors and the setup was perfect for a smaller event like this. The staff of Overhill provide warm shelter for the guests to wait for things to get started and after the ceremony provide toasty libations for the guest, while they mingled.

Even though the temperature was a little chillier than we had hoped for, Amber was determined to walk down the aisle like it was the warmest summer day! Her smile alone was enough to warm up everyone around her.

"My adrenaline was in high gear, I didn't feel a thing," she told me later in the evening.

The ceremony was short and sweet and my most favorite moment was when Coty saw Amber walking down the aisle and he waved her towards him as to say "hurry, hurry, I can't wait to marry you!"

Perfect Moments

So, there those two were standing next to each other amongst their family and friends pledging their lives to each other. Everything was perfect, and just as they were kissing for the first time as husband and wife a gust of wind came and blew Amber's veil off. Honestly, I couldn't have scripted it like that; talk about perfect moments to capture during a wedding. The sun is setting, they are kissing, Cody is dipping his new wife just perfectly and whoosh, there goes the veil. What more could I possibly hope for?

Family Photo Time And Then We Party

After the ceremony, we had a little bit of time for family photos and we made time for some photos with Amber and Coty alone, and some with their beautiful daughter Elizabeth.

After that, it was time for the party! Overhill Mansion has a beautiful and very intimate party/dining room that is perfect for an intimate wedding like Amber and Coty's.
