Intimate Summer Wedding at the Inn at Mt. Ida, Ellicott City


As a documentary wedding photographer, I love capturing those genuine moments that make a wedding day unforgettable. Recently, I photographed an intimate wedding at the Inn at Mt. Ida in Ellicott City, Maryland, and it was pure magic.

The Inn at Mt. Ida, with its historic charm and stunning landscapes, offers a perfect setting for a wedding. From the serene Bride's Salon to the enchanting garden ceremony under ancient trees, every moment was a photographer’s dream. The reception in the rustic yet elegant dining room, complete with delicious on-site catering, was filled with joy and laughter.

The inn’s rich history and beautiful decor provided the perfect backdrop for capturing candid moments of love and connection. If you're looking for a venue that combines historic beauty with modern amenities, the Inn at Mt. Ida is a top choice. For more information, check out their website.
