A look back at the wedding day for Jessica & Abdo from Dave McIntosh Photographics, Baltimore wedding photography and videography.
Jessica and Abdo exchanged vows in a wedding celebration in front of 250 friends and family at the Columbus Center at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. Jess and her mother Diane planned the details of the event. ‘Downtown Diane’ knows Baltimore’s best vendors, and she assembled an all-star team of the best in Maryland to create a spectacular party.
Chef’s Expressions catered the reception. They had various stations to create custom cuisine, including a taco bar. The band Nightsong entertained and packed the dance floor all night. Preparations were at the nearby Pier 5 hotel. The weather did not cooperate. It rained all day, but that did not slow down the celebration. The Columbus Center has nice bright spaces for indoor photos and three levels with different areas.
Family and friends enjoyed celebrating with Jess and Abdo and we had a great time capturing the celebration in photos and video.
About the Columbus Center in Baltimore:
In 1998, the center’s largest tenant, the University System of Maryland, purchased the facility and assumed management responsibility.
In 2010, there was a reorganization which resulted in the creation of the Institute of Marine and Environmental Technology (IMET). IMET is a joint University System of Maryland research institute capitalizing on the strengths of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, the University of Maryland Baltimore County and the University of Maryland Baltimore. The Columbus Center facility is managed and operated by UMBC.
Today, the missions of exploration and collaboration continue. By drawing faculty and students from the University System of Maryland and scientists from around the world, IMET faculty conduct research into marine and coastal environments. Towson University’s Center for STEM Excellence also furthers this mission at the Columbus Center, by serving Maryland’s K-12 schools through outreach programs supporting science education.
