Woodend Sanctuary & Mansion Wedding

Love at first bite!

Katye and I usually have a piece of cake at our weddings. It’s our thing. We taste, we discuss. We’ve highlighted the importance of good cake recently, so we’re happy to lead off with this photo from Emily and Dustin’s Woodend Sanctuary & Mansion wedding reception and their first dessert as a married couple. But first, let’s rewind.

This New York-based couple were married at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Rockville and continued on to Woodend Sanctuary & Mansion for their wedding reception in Chevy Chase. This venue is the perfect place for deer watching and beer drinking alike. One minute you’re cutting loose and dancing, and the next you’re on a quiet stroll around the rolling grounds. Congrats to Emily and Dustin – thanks for sharing your day with us (and your cake!)
