Kristen and Sean were married on a hot summer day at the gorgeous Chesapeake Bay Foundation in Annapolis, Maryland.

Prior to their beach ceremony, Kristen and Sean shared an intimate first look on a pier. Sean shed a couple of tears as Kristen walked up behind him, and the two were filled with such joy and love upon seeing each other! Shortly after the two had some time to soak in all of the emotions, their wedding party joined them, and the beach was filled with laughter. Their friends were such a great group of people! So much fun was had all day with all of their many family members and friends who traveled from near and far to celebrate with them! Following dinner, everyone danced the night away on the deck of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation to music performed by Bachelor Boys Band.

I loved the color palette Kristen chose of blush pink and navy blues, which always look so good together – especially for nautical weddings! Her bridesmaids looked amazing in the blush pink Kennedy Blue bridesmaid dresses, and Kristen was absolutely stunning in her elegant Martina Liana wedding gown.

Kristen and Sean are from Philadelphia and live there with their two adorable pups! Sean proposed to Kristen on a walk with their dogs at the Spruce Street Harbor Park in Philly.

Congratulations, Kristen and Sean! It has been a pleasure getting to know you two, and it was an honor to be your wedding photographer!
