She told me at the end of the day that she remembered what I said in my office about being flexible with weather and having fun, that made my night!  This wedding was incredible, when I met with Gabi and Diana at the studio and we talked about their wedding vision, I wanted on board!  They were getting married here with friends then going back home and getting married later in September. One thing I always tell my couples, let me stress about the weather and make a plan, we will have fun and get great photos no matter what we have to do around Mother Nature.  My equipment is built to withstand some rain and I don't mind getting wet or dirty to keep them dry and get some great photos.  The morning of this wedding it was windy, like tropical storm 35-40mph wind.  I arrived to the venue a little early and we made a plan to work around the wind and whatever else would be sent our way that afternoon.  I remembered the tunnel from a wedding I did a couple of years ago and made it a point to utilize the tunnel for no wind for some of the portraits, what I didn't count on was the buckets of rain that would be falling while we were under it!  We made it under the tunnel just in time for the rain to fall and took what we needed to before heading back and finishing under the cover of the front of the venue, these guys were amazing and rocked every bit of these photos.  The love they shared was magnetic between them and back to my camera.  We rocked the evening with a first dance and sparklers at sunset.  The one amazing thing about rain is that more times than not it will give you a sunset that doesn't disappoint and this night the skies were artistically incredible.  Thank you so much Gabi and Diana for having me be a part of your special day, we wish you a lifetime of happiness.

What a fun sunset beach wedding at the inlet in Ocean City, MD.  The bride entered the beach just as the sun was setting over the cloud bank to the right, it made for a picturesque soft backdrop behind friends and family as they said their nuptials by the water.  We made our way through the Ocean City Inlet beach for nighttime portraits before joining friends and family back at Sunset Grille for dinner.  The couple exchanged wedding cake and snuck out for a few images at the Fishing Pier under the nostalgic view of the the Fishing boats creating the perfect archway for them.  Congratulations Jessica & Lenny, we wish you a lifetime of happiness!
