Chesapeake Bay Beach Club weddings are so much fun to photograph! We are lucky to photograph events there several times each year  and as you can imagine the venue is in huge demand due to its fantastic views of the Chesapeake Bay, especially at sunset.

Meghan and Rob were away at school during the entire time they were planning their event. Meghan still managed to create a charming DIY wedding! She redid some vintage suitcases with a custom fabric and incorporated them into the decor with the help of Sarah Campbell with Intrigue Design, who worked on the design concept for the event! The ceremony had a gorgeous rose petal pattern as the aisle decor and the bride’s brother performed a song for the couple and their guests.

Chesapeake Bay Beach Club

Meghan and Rob had their reception in the Beach House ballroom which was lit and decorated beautifully. Inside the bride and groom prepared a table with wedding photographs from several generations with the quote “Love runs in the family”. They set out a vintage typewriter for their guests to leave messages and words of wisdom. Vintage postcards were placed around the room in strategic locations. Evan with MyDeejay, one of the top DJs in the DC area, kept everyone on the dance floor!

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.

Amanda and Chris were married in a ceremony overlooking the Chesapeake Bay! Their guests were able to look right out to the water and the Bay Bridge as Amanda and Chris exchanged vows and rings. Then we headed down onto the beach and into the sawgrass for some portraits of the happy couple!

Tavern Room Reception

Amanda and Chris hired Great Expectations – Flowers by Inka to create lovely centerpieces for their tables. The Tavern room is very pretty, with lots of windows to enjoy the view and let the sunshine in!  Their guests enjoyed the great food and service presented by the Beach Club staff before the dancing began.

Katie and Mark were married in Rehoboth Beach on a gorgeous summer weekend! When Katie told me in our initial meeting that one of her biggest wants was to go to Funland with her groom and bridal party after the ceremony, I knew it was going to be a fabulous day! Funland was the perfect place because Katie had a smile on her face all day long. See below for evidence!
