Frances and Kerrigan’s wedding day couldn’t be contained to just one iconic Baltimore location. They split their day between the beautiful Whitehall Mill and Cinghiale - one of my favorite restaurants in Fells Point. I was so excited to see these two celebrate their love with all their family and friends.
Frances and Kerrigan’s Joy-filled Wedding in Baltimore
Their wedding day started with Frances and Kerrigan getting ready together at Hotel Indigo - the first of many untraditional things about their wedding that I absolutely loved. Kerrigan got dressed first in a stunning maroon suit and then stepped out of the room for Frances to put on her dress. After a sweet moment between Frances and her mom, Kerrigan came back and the two shared a sentimental “this is really happening” embrace. The giggles and love these two shared at that moment were contagious, and the perfect way to start their wedding day.
From the hotel, we all made our way to Whitehall Mill for portraits and the wedding ceremony. Everyone in Kerrigan and Frances’ wedding party was dressed to the nines and carried a bouquet - regardless of the side of the aisle or gender identity. It was clear that Frances and Kerrigan cared more about their love of each other and their friends than they did about wedding traditions, and it was such a breath of fresh air in an industry that can sometimes be weighed down by outdated and unnecessary traditions.
Frances and Kerrigan’s ceremony was beautiful and full of love and prayer. My favorite part was that they chose to serve Communion themselves - giving them the chance to greet every guest at the altar and share such a deeply special moment with them. They included prayer, song, and nods to the various religious beliefs belonging to members of their family.
After the ceremony, everyone headed over to Cinghiale in Fells Point. These two clearly prioritized good food and good drinks and it was truly a dinner to remember. Their friends and family were overjoyed to celebrate this union, and the room was tangibly filled with joy.
Kerrigan and Frances, thank you so much for including me on your wedding day. Your celebration was both nontraditional and timeless, and I’m so glad I could witness this celebration of your love!
