On Saturday, I had the incredible honor + privilege of photographing Kirsten & Jesse’s Elegant Nautical Wedding at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. From the soft array of gold and cream sequins to Kirsten’s spectacular Vera Wang gown – the details were absolutely breathtaking.
With Kirsten’s veil blowing in bay breeze and their hands held tightly together, these two sweethearts exchanged vows beneath the soft chime of golden chandeliers. Friends and family cheered as they kissed and danced their way back down the aisle. I have been excitedly anticipating this wedding since their Engagement Session at Jesse’s family estate in Southern Maryland a few months ago… and I still cannot believe how incredible this entire day was!
Congratulations newly weds! I am so incredibly excited to be sharing a few of my favorites on the blog today!
