The lovely waterfront wedding of Emily and James at Celebrations at the Bay was an absolute pleasure to photograph. Not only did everything seem to run smoothly and as planned, the weather cooperated, and it turned out to be a lovely afternoon and evening. And, of course, James kept the wedding party and his bride laughing. I thought he would ever since their engagement session last year. Emily and James have known each other since middle school! They are such a sweet couple!

Emily and James chose the theme of being “Forever Anchored” to resonate throughout their entire wedding. Anchor details were evident everywhere, even down to the diamond anchor necklace worn by Emily and the golden anchor lapel pin worn by James.

Maher’s Florist arranged gorgeous rose bouquets for the bride and bridesmaids and for the wedding ceremony arch on the deck. Catering by Uptown provided an exceptional meal and service.

Congratulations Emily and James! I’m so happy for you both and I was so honored to be a part of your day!
