A Riverfront Fall Wedding at Bohemia Overlook in North East, MD | Danielle + Bradie

Bohemia Overlook sits up on a hill above the Elk River in North East, Maryland, and in late October the light out there is ridiculous. Danielle and Bradie got married there on a clear fall day, in tan and sangria, with the water behind them in just about every photo.

A first look by the water

The whole day happened right there on the property, which I love. Danielle got ready up in the manor, and she could step out on the porch in her robe and look straight down at the river. Before she saw Bradie, both of their dads got a first look of their own inside the house.

Then Bradie waited out on the lawn, Danielle walked up behind him, and when he turned around he pretty much threw his arms in the air. After that the two of them took a few minutes alone to read the vows they wrote in those little books. No cameras, no vendors, just them. I love that they kept that part for themselves.

The wedding party was all sangria dresses and tan suits, and Belak Flowers did these gorgeous red, white and blush bouquets that popped against all of it. The guys came ready to have fun, as you can tell.

A ceremony on the river

The ceremony was out at the edge of the lawn under a white arbor, with the river right behind everyone. Danielle’s pastor married them, and the cheering on the way back up the aisle might have been the loudest part of the day.

Sunset, napkins and a full dance floor

Sunset came early, so right after cocktail hour we snuck out to the field behind the manor. Fifteen minutes of that light was all we needed.

The reception was in the tent, with gold chargers and candles everywhere, and The Bridal Bestie had every detail dialed in. They came in waving napkins, DJ Maybach got everybody together for one big group photo on the dance floor, and from there it was a party until the very end.

Danielle and Bradie, thank you so much for having me. You two were so easy to be around, and you made it really fun to just do my thing.

The Bridal Bestie also planned Shannon and Brian’s wedding at Warburton Stables, just down the road in Elkton. And if you’re looking at other Cecil County spots, check out Dominique and Kris’s backyard wedding on the Elk River.
