I recently had the honor of photographing the most intimate & quaint Ellicott City wedding at the Howard County Courthouse. As I drove to the courthouse along the winding roads leading into the historic district of the town, I thought about how special a location this was to get married! This sweet couple will have lovely memories of driving these historic streets during one of the most picturesque times of year. The leaves were turning and falling, there was the slightest bit of crisp in the air, and the rain cleared out just in time for it to be the perfect autumn day for a wedding!
There is something so special about getting married at the courthouse. It strikes me as so romantic! The tiny room tucked into the County Clerk’s office leaves only room for you & your fiance and the smallest group of close friends and family. They can all clearly hear you profess your love & devotion to each other, with no distractions. And celebrate with you immediately after you say your I Do’s.
This Ellicott City wedding at the Howard County Courthouse had all the love, romanticism, & warmth I just described, and then some. Bobby & Towoju were joined by close family & friends – who all looked stunning, I might add – who sat as witness to their nuptials. They excitedly greeted the bride upon her arrival, cheered when they were declared man & wife, and stood out in the chilly autumn air for their turn at having photos taken with the newlyweds. Now that is love & support!
Bobby & Towoju were introduced by a dear uncle and began their courtship, which segued into one of the sweetest, most thoughtful proposal stories this wedding photographer has heard! Bobby planned an entire day of special moments, reminiscing, pampering, and celebration, complete with red roses, spa services, champagne, and three – count them – THREE romantic meals, topped off with a gorgeous engagement ring. With a proposal like that, I knew this Ellicott City wedding would be one for the record books. And it was.
Congratulations and best wishes to Bobby & Towoju on your wedding! Thank you for letting me capture these special memories for you & your family.

[…] love a whirlwind romance for the same reason I love courthouse weddings: the romanticism! There is something irresistibly romantic about being so in love, so enthralled, […]
[…] They met through the introductory brochure at the beginning of graduate and law school. Searle was excited to see a fellow classmate was from his home town and reached out to connect thinking it would be good to have a road trip buddy when going home for holidays. They met up for dinner shortly thereafter, and as Searle put it, it was love at first sight! They’ve been inseparable ever since, straight up to last Friday and their Washington, D.C. courthouse wedding! […]
