When you’re planning your big day, from the first look to the sparkler exit, you want a venue that creates an atmosphere that promotes the vibe of your wedding! This venue feels somehow both incredibly romantic and deeply personal. There are so many different backgrounds for portraits. And the architecture itself creates a natural environment for candids too. It is impossible not to feel the weight of the moment in a place this beautiful.
In the Heart of Baltimore…
One of the things I love most about photographing weddings at The Belvedere is how versatile the space is. The ballroom transforms seamlessly from ceremony to reception. With florals in deep jewel tones or in soft neutrals, the room carries each palette beautifully. Tall arrangements look stunning against the white columns. Candlelight warms the entire space and adds a soft, intimate feel to the evening hours.
The surrounding neighborhood is perfect for portraits too. The historic stone staircases and classic lamp posts just outside the building give couples a timeless backdrop, just steps away from the venue doors. Whether the wedding party is dressed in emerald velvet, black tie, or really any color palette,, the setting elevates the entire look. Indoors, the grand fireplace and carved details create another striking portrait location. The venue was built in 1903, and you can feel every bit of that history in the best way.
As the night continues, receptions at this venue always feel lively and full of joy. Guests gather beneath the chandeliers. Couples dance surrounded by warm light and meaningful details. Every moment feels intentional. And as the evening ends, the iconic exterior window shot is always a favorite. Couples step into the soft glow of the night and create an image that feels cinematic.
Why Couples Choose The Belvedere
This venue offers everything you need for a polished, seamless wedding experience. The staff is attentive. The flow of the day is smooth. The space feels grand without being overwhelming. Most importantly, it allows each couple to bring their own style to the day while still enjoying the charm of such a historic Baltimore landmark.

I always love returning here, and each celebration reminds me why The Belvedere holds such a special place in the heart of this city.
