Hello from a dreary, cold Maryland day, that might I say, needs to be brightened a bit?? 

This weather is transporting me back to this beautiful Annapolis Waterfront Hotel wedding.  This time last year, we celebrated Ben & Jenny and I’m excited to share it with you, too.

You may recognize these two from their engagement session in New York City a few springs ago. Looking back at photos, gosh, I’m just reminded again what a delight they are.  Some couples may have been disappointed that their wedding had to make a few weather adjustments… but Ben & Jenny just embraced the coziness of the day and were delighted to be husband and wife.

Sara Reynolds and our team of vendors worked hard to transform the Waterfront to a beautiful celebration fitting for these two sweethearts.  They got married on the back terrace overlooking the water with beautiful cheers from their guests as they said “I do!”  Pretty Little Wedding Co added florals and rentals to transform the space.  Andrew from Film & Flourish had us all laughing and helped bring the fun.

There were many details that helped tell the story of this day. 

The couple added a fun seating chart with nods to the water and served as a keepsake for guests to take home.  But the main event? As a former dancer, Jenny and Ben choreographed their first dance complete with sparks at the important lifts.  It was a detail that had everyone cheering and felt like them.

Safe to say this Annapolis Waterfront Hotel wedding was one for the books.  It’s one I’m happy to be transported back to on this otherwise rainy day ;)

Happy Wednesday, y’all!

Wife, mama, wielder of light & joy, and capturer of moments.  I thrive off of conversation and genuine connection.  In between wrangling our kiddos, and hanging my husband, you'll find me dreaming up my next idea or creative endeavour.  It's these things that culminate to give my imagery a warmth and joy to them - the greatest compliment I could receive.

I was pretty nervous about being photographed and Lauren made everything fun and flexible. Honestly, I can't imagine the day without her and her team. They were wonderful and hearing from Lauren was always a genuine delight.
