Last weekend, I had the incredible honor and privilege of photographing Pilar & Danny’s Wedding at Port Annapolis Marina! It was a beautiful summer day on the water, filled with nautical details and emotional moments. Every single aspect of this day was created out of love, from the handmade oyster pillars to the chair on the aisle that reserved a seat for Pilar’s Father. And as the couple’s exchanged their vows overlooking the harbor, there was not a dry eye in the crowd. One of my favorite parts of the evening was right after dinner, as we headed to the docks at sunset and a sailor offered to let us photograph on the bow of his boat. It was this moment of sweet serendipity and the perfect opportunity for these two newlyweds to spend a few moments together!
Congratulations Pilar & Danny! I am so excited to be sharing a few of my favorites with you today!
