At the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club on Saturday, Madeline & Tyson tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony filled with symbolism and personal touches. Their first reading was borrowed from the back of Tyson’s parents’ wedding program, the bride wore her grandmother’s necklace and her mother’s wedding garter, and even their officiant was a dear friend of Tyson’s from college! All the little details were crafted with intention in order to make this day truly their own!
The skies were soft and grey with snow flurries that surprised us all as we drove to the ceremony! There were so many moments that captured my heart… The first moment Madeline’s bridesmaids saw her in her gown, when the doors opened and she appeared before her friends and family at their ceremony, and the way Tyson looked at his bride as they danced together during the reception.
Congratulations newlyweds! It was such an honor to photograph your wedding day!
