On a beautiful, sunny day in August, Julie and Frank tied the knot during their ceremony overlooking the bay at Chesapeake Bay Beach Club.

We started the day with bridal prep and groom prep photos in the Hilton Garden Inn in Grasonville, and then we headed outside for Julie and Frank’s first look followed by their bridal party photos. Because the couple chose to have a first look, they had time to socialize with their guests during cocktail hour, following their walk along the shore at Chesapeake Bay Beach Club and their portrait session.

After dinner in the Beach House Ballroom, Julie and Frank danced the night away with their many friends and family members in Tavern Bayside with music performed by the band Onyx of Washington Talent Agency. Band members joined guests out on the dance floor, and a few guests even performed with the band – playing the tambourine and drums and singing!

At the end of the night, the couple was sent off on their honeymoon in Barbados with an epic sparkler exit. Congratulations, Julie and Frank! It has been a pleasure working with you two and an honor to be your wedding photographer!
