Wedding on the Chesapeake Bay

We first met Janice and Jason last year at our DC office to talk about their plans for a Kent Island wedding at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club. Janice had done a lot of research and we were extremely flattered to be hired to document their day!

The Beach House and the Tavern Bayside

Janice and Jason had a bit of a rough week leading up to their wedding – it involved flying back and forth from Hong Kong on short notice, but fortunately everyone was where they needed to be when Saturday morning arrived! We began photographing the bride and groom preparations in Annapolis before heading to the Beach Club for the final touches prior to the ceremony.

The waterfront ceremony was held on the lawn in front of the Beach House Ballroom. Guests looked out onto the Chesapeake Bay view as Janice and Jason exchanged vows and honored their parents with a song.

Paebaek

During the cocktail hour, Janice and Jason had a traditional Korean ceremony called the Paebaek for their close family members. They wore traditional Korean attire and their parents and other family enjoyed tossing chestnuts and dates into Janice’s apron which is said to indicate the number and gender of their future children!

Afterwards, Janice and Jason and their guests headed into the Beach House Ballroom for their dinner, some affectionate toasts, and of course, dancing.
