The Grand Historic Venue is a beautiful and interesting space, built by the Freemasons as the Grand Lodge of the Maryland Masonic Temple back in 1866. For more than a hundred years, this building served as the Maryland Freemasons\u2019 headquarters. In 2005, it became the Tremont Grand. Modeled after the buildings of the French and Italian Renaissance, the building has a charm and warmth not often found in hotel-based venues. From the library area to the Corinthian Ballroom, the Marble Room to the marble staircase, the entire venue exudes a  classic atmosphere for a sweet wedding day. I had to make it a slideshow due to the beauty of the wedding, this is probably one of my favorite places to shoot in Baltimore. I&#8217;ve known Ify for a minute now since our college days and when she called me to shoot her wedding, I was extremely excited. Then I met sir Maybach Mel, an extreme gentleman. As you&#8217;ll observe, these two were made for the camera. Enjoy some of my favorite pictures from their amazing wedding!
