From the very first moment that I met Ellen and Chris in an Annapolis coffee shop, I knew that their wedding was going to be absolutely incredible. These two have a spirit and an energy that lifts everyone around them up. They are outgoing, compassionate, and thoughtful in all that they do.
These two started dating in Dental School and with perfect smiles and equally brilliant intellects – it was quickly apparent that they were the perfect match. Chris has a way of always making Ellen laugh and during the ceremony, he surprised her by taking the microphone and speaking a little from the heart.  And from these special moments to the beautiful flowers from Intrigue Designs, gorgeous vintage rentals from 2hands studios, Ellen’s gown from Garnish Boutique that took everyone’s breath away, and a setting overlooking the Chesapeake Bay – The entire day felt and looked like a fairytale!
Congratulations Ellen & Chris! It was an honor and a privilege to photograph this special day in your lives!

LOVE that ring shot. What did you put it on? I also LOVE her bouquet. Their first look was adorable, the bridal party and portraits are stunning as always. I also especially love how you dragged the shutter in the reception shots to give them a more fun party-like feel! So cool.
