Sam & Brendan were married on a cool summer day at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation near Annapolis, Maryland and were blessed with the gorgeous sunset lighting by the bay during their ceremony.  I knew Sam & Brendan’s wedding day would be amazing after spending time with them at their engagement session earlier this year, and it was even better than I anticipated!  Their wedding was filled with many special details from their hand-crafted invitation to Sam’s hand-calligraphed signs; and the talented line up of their very own family members singing songs for them during the ceremony and cocktail hours.  To top all these, Sam’s very own talented band (Sam & her brother Zach!) played keyboard & guitar and sang Katy Perry’s "Teenage Dream", Journey’s "Don't Stop Believing", and Zach’s original creation of "Over the Top" which heated up the dance floor and kept the energy high all night!

Sam & Brendan’s wedding was truly a great celebration of family, friends, love and life! I am thankful to have been a part of such a genuinely lovely day.
