Betsy and Mike exchanged their wedding vows in a lovely ceremony overlooking the Chesapeake Bay, on the grounds of the gorgeous Chesapeake Bay Beach Club. A fun filled reception with their numerous family members and friends was held in the venue’s Tavern Ballroom.

We got many of the couple’s portraits on the sandy beach following their ceremony and were also able to go back down on the beach again for more photos just following sunset.

I was in awe of the many breathtaking floral arrangements which adorned the numerous tables as well as the ceremony site. Gorgeous flowers, mostly in various shades of pink and white, seem to be everywhere, as well as in the bride’s and bridesmaids’ bouquets.

The dance floor was constantly packed, and it appeared that everyone stayed to see Betsy and Mike off for their two week honeymoon in Tahiti as they departed the reception via a fantastic sparkler exit!

Congratulations, Betsy and Mike! It was such an honor to photograph your wedding day!
