Jess & Tom’s Spring Wedding at Woodend Sanctuary

Jess and Tom celebrated their love with a vibrant spring wedding at Woodend Sanctuary and Mansion in Chevy Chase, Maryland. With its natural beauty and historic charm, Woodend was the perfect setting for a day filled with love, laughter, and a unique blend of Mexican and Irish traditions.

Jess and Tom’s ceremony took place at 6:00 PM in the lush gardens of Woodend Sanctuary. Surrounded by vibrant orange, pink, and sage green florals, they exchanged vows under a clear blue sky. As the sun set, the garden turned into a magical setting, perfectly capturing the essence of a spring wedding.

If you’re looking for a venue that offers both natural beauty and elegant charm, Woodend Sanctuary and Mansion is an ideal choice. Its expansive gardens and stunning architecture provide countless photo opportunities. As your photographer, I make sure every meaningful moment is captured in this beautiful setting.

Blending Traditions

Jess and Tom beautifully combined their Mexican and Irish heritages throughout the day. Their first dance was to “Volver, Volver” by Chavela Vargas, filling the air with emotion and passion. The reception followed in the mansion’s elegant halls, adorned with bright orange, pink, and soft mauve decorations. Each table was arranged with sage green accents and photos of beloved family members who were no longer with them, adding a personal and sentimental touch.
