Downtown Annapolis Wedding | Emma & Thomas

Emma & Thomas’ Annapolis wedding an was early spring Saturday warmed just enough by the sun. Everyone was laid back and clearly at ease- a feeling I love to witness at a wedding. It says so much about the couple and who they really are, and who they choose to surround themselves with.

Emma’s Wedding Attire

Emma got ready in her grandmother’s robe, and she looked like a freaking old Hollywood movie star. She selected all of her bridal attire from Anthropologie, including a chic pearl top that she added to her simple strapless gown as a special surprise for the ceremony.

First look & laid back wedding portraits

I won’t forget the way Emma & Thomas melted into each other on the lovely swing on the front porch, and the way that they were so so happy to see each other during their first look. I love this time on a wedding day, because the jitters fade away a bit and I get to watch two people just absolutely giddy to be spending such an amazing day together.

Wedding Ceremony at St. Mary’s Annapolis

Emma & Thomas had their ceremony at St. Mary’s in Annapolis, and an absolutely lovely tie in here to the gentle celestial theme they incorporated into their wedding is that St. Mary’s has a beautiful star covered ceiling. I photograph wedding ceremonies at St. Mary’s often, and I’m always struck by how beautiful it is!

A Backyard Reception at Home

Emma & Thomas had their reception in Emma’s parents waterfront Annapolis back yard- the most idyllic waterfront setting that pretty much looked like it was made to house this sweet little wedding tent. chose details in the blue family and also included subtle celestial details, like pins that the men wore, star charts for their guest book, and a few other star and moon details here and there. I just loved how the sunlight streamed into their tent illuminating their tablescapes beautifully during cocktail hour and the way that their family and friends cheered for them as we were on our way back to the reception after some sunset photos by the water.
