Surrounded by lush greenery and soft roses, Kedric and Rochelle said “I do” in a romantic garden wedding in the heart of Charm City.
When looking back on their wedding, Kedric and Rochelle would describe the day as absolute “perfection.”
The modern architecture of their venue, the Sagamore Pendry Hotel in Baltimore, Maryland, set the scene for an evening of modern luxury and created a beautiful contrast between the delicate florals of the gardens around them.
Kedric and Rochelle couldn’t be more in love as they locked eyes during their first look. It was a magical moment captured beautifully by Christopher Jason Studios in the hotel’s foyer. The spotlight then transitioned from the bride and groom to their bridal party!
The bridesmaids looked beautiful in sleek black gowns and the groomsmen were extra polished in classic black suits and silk black ties accented with white boutonnières. The flower girl was a pop-of-pink in her whimsical tulle dress while the couple’s adorable son secured the rings as ring bearer wearing a modern white suit.
Following an intimate and romantic garden ceremony, the couple celebrated with their family and loved ones over a delicious dinner of mouth-watering lamb chops, juicy filet mignon, crave-worthy crab cakes, and fresh lobster. A night of dancing awaited them!

How we met…
Rochelle and Kedric met by coincidence through her job, and the medical mishap of a coworker. When her coworker needed an emergency surgery, Rochelle was charged with a hefty client list to manage and preserve, and Kedric’s restaurant became one of her new clients.
Unbeknownst to Kedric and Rochelle, their coincidental business relationship was really the beginning of a beautiful life together. They still joke that had it not been for the medical misfortune of Rochelle’s co-worker, Donna, they would have never met! Thank you Donna!
