Sacred Heart Church Wedding Ceremony: Chelsea + Michael, Part 1

If you haven’t seen Chelsea and Michael’s engagement photo session on Kent Island, go check them out! You can also learn how they started their relationship.

I was so excited when the big day finally came. I knew that it’s going to be a beautiful wedding! I was so happy to be a part of it and be able to document the story. 🙂

This is one of my favorite shot from the day, which was taken after the ceremony.

But let’s rewind a bit to see what’s going on during the getting ready.

Chelsea, her parents, the Matron of Honor and the Bridesmaids were getting ready at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront Hotel.

After the make up and hair do by the team from Amie Decker Beauty, Chelsea opened the gift from Michael.
