Baltimore Courthouse Elopement

Elise and Kiara were married at the circuit courthouse in Baltimore County with a few of their closest people beside them. The ceremony was short, but a perfect reflection of what they wanted; time together, celebrating one another.

We moved through the city sharing stories and laughing. Kiara is a wheelchair user, so we mapped an accessible route through Mount Vernon Place ahead of time, and the park was glowing that afternoon as we wound our way through it.

The park around the Washington Monument first, then the empty theater at Baltimore Center Stage. Elise had handmade the underskirt of her dress to match the color of Kiara’s and sewed the flowers onto it herself, so the flowers swooshed as we made our way in the afternoon sun.

The theater was especially lovely to be in. Echoing halls, book-lined rooms, Elise and Kiara dancing in and out of the shadows.

Just a courthouse, two brides, and a city. This is how their day went.


If you’re planning a Baltimore courthouse elopement, I’d love to hear from you.
