Beth & Sebastian

I had the honor of photographing Beth and Sebastian's wedding in late October in beautiful Annapolis, MD at the Quiet Waters Park. It was a lovely day - comfortable weather and diffused lighting (clouds) outside. The grounds of Quiet Waters Park are beautiful - we got some gorgeous shots. I could have spent a couple hours shooting on the grounds alone, but there was a ceremony scheduled... The next day was a severe storm with horizontal rain, so I'm glad the wedding was when it was.

They had family travel great distances to be there; Sebastian's grandparents came all the way from South America - I think they traveled the furthest. There were a lot of thoughtful touches throughout the ceremony and reception. One of the more unusual events at their reception was a tradition of Beth's family: they have someone dressed up as a gorilla run into the room and interact with the guests and they have an Elvis impersonator visit as well. Elvis just "performs" to the adoring women then leaves. Sebastian's parents also danced a traditional dance from Chile for the guests, which was quite lovely. They planned well for their wedding, involving many of their family and it was a beautiful wedding. I'm posting just 4 of the images from the day.
