Wedding: Christina + Chris

Posted November 17, 2010 to wedding by: .

From their engagement session at Maryland Eastern Shore, to their wedding, I had fun photographing them. 🙂

They sure are a nice, fun, energetic, and awesome couple… 😀

For the wedding, they hired me to do a full day wedding photography. It was over 12 hour wedding coverage.

Here are the images from the beginning of the day, early in the morning.  Christina, getting ready, getting her hair and make up done.

Thanks to my assistant/second photographer, Ken, I got simultaneous coverage of the groom getting ready as well. 🙂

Here is Chris and his father.

The ceremony was at St. Christopher’s Church at Kent Island, Maryland.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a priest help putting boutonnieres. Father Jennings helped all the guys including the bride and groom’s fathers, the best men, the groomsman and of course the groom as well. 🙂

The wedding reception was at Baywood Clubhouse at Baywood Greens in Delaware. It was quite a drive from Kent Island to Long Neck, Delaware.

The ballroom is ready for the guests. 🙂
