Cloisters Castle Wedding

Once Upon a Time…

Several weeks ago, Sasha & Jay brought a bit of Chicago to DC. This time around, Val & Alex brought some of California to their Cloisters Castle wedding, with details from The Sunshine State in abundance. Oh, and in case you didn’t notice: The happy couple were married in a castle. That’s not something you see every day.

The Cloisters Castle was built in 1932 and is located north of Baltimore in Lutherville, for those of you who want to check it out. Very cool place! But as awesome as the castle is, this day was about Alex & Val, who were able to to enjoy the day despite the heat (and the potential for some serious storms). From the laugh-inducing ceremony to the off-beat pie cutting, the day was a blast. Congrats to you both!
