Steve and Leah had a small backyard wedding at a private residence on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, in Bozman. Despite the fact that it was September, we were all completely melting in the sun that day because it was so hot. That didn't slow anyone down from having an awesome time though! This was my first ever Jewish wedding, so it was really cool to see all of the various unique traditions that were carried on throughout the day!

We started the day with the bride, groom, and family portraits before all of the activities began.

Their dog, Perry, was a part of their big day too - loved that his little bowtie that matched the decor!

Guests arrived early to participate in the bride and groom's tish. Close family and friends shared heartfelt stories and advice aloud.

Just before the ceremony the bride, groom, and their witnesses went inside for the Ketubah signing with Rabbi Benjamin, and Badeken, where the groom veils his bride.

The chuppah poles were carried by both of their siblings, then the bride and groom were escorted down the aisle by both of their parents.
