Stephanie & Patrick

Stephanie and Patrick met in Japan! They live a far more glamorous life than I do and it was wonderful to be a part of their beautiful day in Annapolis before they headed off to Turkey on their awesome honeymoon!

Stephanie and her friends got ready at the Marriott Waterfront Annapolis. Her mom and Patrick's mom were also on hand to share in the excitement and anticipation.

Patrick and his groomsmen gathered in the lobby to wait for the trolley to the Naval Academy Chapel.

The girls also traveled via trolley and we arrived in plenty of time. The ceremony was a Catholic Mass which featured some excellent musical talent from the bride's friends and family. Afterwards we had some time for portraits at the Academy.

Then we headed back to the Marriott for cocktails with a view and toasts, dinner and dancing in the ballroom.

Angie & Jim

Angie and Jim had a fantastic wedding at two of the greatest venues in Annapolis. The historic William Paca House and Garden and the Annapolis Marriott Waterfront. Wedding Savvy coordinated the event and did a fantastic job, as did Kim Hansman and the staff of Pusser's. Angie got ready with close friends at the Marriott amid champagne toasts and a lot of laughter.

After Angie and Jim had a chance to see each other for the first time on their wedding day, we hopped on the trolley and headed to Galway Bay for Guinness and relaxation before the ceremony!

The ceremony was beautiful! It's such a picturesque location. Rainy weather held off until after family portraits and everyone was safely enjoying their cocktails at the Marriott. Dinner and dancing followed.

Lisa & Dave

Last weekend we were excited to photograph the wedding of a colleague, Lisa Romano of Bella Bridal. It is always especially flattering when we're hired by someone we've worked with on other clients' weddings! Lisa and her fiancee, Dave were married at the Marriott Waterfront in Annapolis. We were so lucky with the weather! It was warm and beautiful and Lisa was able to have her ceremony outside on the deck, overlooking the water.

In spite of an emotional start to the day, Lisa held it together admirably as she and her dad waited to walk down the aisle.

Of course Lisa did a beautiful job choosing decor and flowers for her wedding reception and the Marriott's ballroom looked extra special with her elegant black and white theme. Lisa not only had a beautiful wedding cake, but she also surprised Dave with an ice cream groom's cake - his favorite! A special couple who'd been married for 61 years received the bouquet after a very impressive anniversary dance and every else has a great time out on the dance floor until the very end of the evening!
