It’s important to me for my clients to enjoy their photo sessions. Part of creating a positive experience includes a beautiful backdrop and a serene setting free of distractions. To be honest, I like to have the place all to myself! So when I put out a request for private locations for my Southern Maryland fall mini sessions, I was thrilled that the owner of this gorgeous Leonardtown farm was willing to allow us to visit. Barns, ponds, fields, a tree lined driveway — every view was an amazing view and my equally amazing clients deserve nothing less! Thank you to my wonderful families that come back and see me year after year. I love seeing how you’ve grown!

Sotterley Plantation recently added a new wedding ceremony and reception site on their property — the Riverside Pavilion. The pavilion sits on a secluded, serene area of Sotterley’s land. Its name comes from its direct view overlooking the river. The pavilion can hold 150 people and includes a cottage where the bridal party can get ready.

The purpose of this styled shoot was to show brides how they could use this space for their own wedding. The wonderful vendors listed below added a few rustic touches to enhance the natural beauty of this peaceful location. If you’re outdoors kind of a girl, this is the perfect spot for you!

The following vendors contributed to this styled shoot: Sotterley Plantation, venue; Blondie’s Baking Company, cake; Floral Expessions, flowers; Maryland Country Caterers, linens and place settings; Lex Design Co., graphic design; Today’s Bride & Formal Wear, dress; and Jill Christine Design & Photography, photography.

It’s a lot of work to plan a wedding, but if you’re getting married in Southern Maryland, the Southern Maryland Wedding Guide is the place to start! This is the area’s ultimate wedding resource. It includes planning tools and advice, a guide to local wedding venues, articles on the latest wedding trends, and this most recent version includes a styled shoot at Sotterley Plantation that I had the privilege of working on with many other talented vendors!

You can download a copy of the guide here, and then flip to page 18 to see our feature showing off the new Riverside Pavilion at Sotterley! I’ll be sharing more of my favorites and a full list of the vendors who contributed to this styled shoot on the blog tomorrow.
