Nestled in the heart of rural Maryland, The Tannery Barn served as the breathtaking backdrop for Colleen & James’ timeless wedding celebration. Surrounded by rolling hills and golden light, their day was the perfect blend of upscale countryside romance and modern celebration. From the heartfelt vows to the joyful dance floor moments, it was an honor for the Costola Photography team to capture it all.
Expertly coordinated by Amavi Wedding Events, every detail of the day unfolded seamlessly—an effortless experience for the couple and a dream for their guests.
A Morning Full of Emotion and Beauty
Colleen got ready in the bridal suite at The Tannery Barn, surrounded by laughter, family, and a wave of joyful anticipation. Her stunning gown from Posh Bridal Maryland, designed by Martina Liana Bridal, featured an elegant silhouette with modern romantic details. Her bridal glow was flawlessly styled by Bridal Glow with Victoria O, complementing the soft, refined aesthetic of the day.
Meanwhile, James and his groomsmen suited up in classic styles from Men’s Wearhouse, adding a touch of sophisticated charm to the relaxed countryside setting.
Ceremony Among the Wildflowers
The outdoor ceremony took place in the sun-dappled courtyard of The Tannery Barn, framed by romantic floral installations by Blossom & Basket Boutique. Lush greenery, peach-toned roses, and textured seasonal blooms created an inviting altar for Colleen & James to exchange their vows. A sweeping draped entry and elegant chandeliers, provided by Victoria Clausen Floral Events, set the tone for a warm, inviting atmosphere.
Guests were comfortably transported to the venue via Lasting Impressions Limousine, allowing everyone to fully enjoy the celebration.
Cocktail Hour & Reception: Rustic Charm Meets Refined Detail
The reception space inside The Tannery Barn was transformed into a warm, vibrant haven, thanks to layered textures and thoughtful design. BBJ La Tavola linens dressed the tables in soft, elegant tones, accented by Select Event Group chargers that added a touch of modern polish. Farm-style tables and lounges from The Tannery Barn brought in rustic charm, creating a luxurious yet approachable setting.
Guests enjoyed a delicious custom menu catered by Simply Fresh Events, followed by the most exquisite cake by Stone House Cakery & Café—a perfect sweet ending to an unforgettable meal.
Throughout the evening, Crow Entertainment kept the dance floor full with energy, joy, and a carefully curated playlist that kept every generation dancing.
