After their lovely engagement photo session at the Gettysburg <\/a>, finally, the most anticipated time had arrived for me to photograph Ilana\u00a0and Andrew’s Wedding day at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club.<\/p>\n

For Ilana, her dream wedding would be somewhere on the beach, as it always bring a sense of tranquility, pleasure, and romance… everything a wedding should be. The Club was the first place the couple had visited. It overlooked the Chesapeake Bay and the famous Bay Bridge, and offered just what Andrew and llana were looking for – a classic and cultural Maryland wedding.\u00a0They\u00a0fell in love with the venue immediately without looking elsewhere!<\/p>\n

Early on, Ilana\u00a0had chosen the date, May 23rd, without realizing that the venue comes before any arrangement. The Chesapeake Bay Beach Club books up far in advance, and the couple had only\u00a0started looking for a place in August. At first they were told that\u00a0most dates were already booked up for the upcoming summer. Then, just their luck,\u00a0The Club informed that a cancellation had just occurred for the 23rd of May. Ilana knew right then that she was meant to have her wedding at this beautiful venue and she couldn\u2019t have picked a better time\u00a0or place, for it was a perfect day with not a single cloud in the sky.<\/p>\n\"Bride\n

Ilana chose a beautiful wedding gown by Justin Alexander, from Amanda Ritchey Bridal.<\/p>\n\"Wedding\n

My Flower Box Events was the florist to style\u00a0the ceremony site and the reception\u00a0tables, and of course to provide beautiful bouquets for the Bride and her bridesmaids.<\/p>\n\"Wedding\n\"Mother\n\"Garter\n\"Bride\n

Andrew and Ilana decided to do the first look, to meet each other before the ceremony.<\/p>\n\"Groom\n\"Bride\n\"Bride\n\"Bride\n\"Bride\n

At the spur of the moment, The Father of the Bride also wanted to have a first look at\u00a0his daughter before she walks down the aisle.<\/p>\n\"Father\n\"Father\n

Alluring\u00a0flower arrangements by the florists from My Flower Box Events accentuated the custom-made chuppah.<\/p>\n\"Flower\n\"Custom\n\"Small\n

The very talented Ilana made a lot of these decors with her own hands! Look at these cute sailboats with the guest names for the table assignments. The beautiful flower centerpiece from My Flower Box Events completed everything into perfection.<\/p>\n\"Beautiful\n\"Mother\n\"Tavern\n\"Bride\n

During the procession, as Ilana walked down the aisle escorted by the Father of the Bride, Andrew sang “Marry Me” from Train, accompanied by music from Chesapeake Strings. It was a surprise for a lot of people. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\"Groom\n\"Bride\n\"Bridesmaids\n\"Bride\n\"Bride\n\"Bride\n\"Bride\n

One of the best features of the gorgeous venue of The Chesapeake Bay Beach Club is\u00a0the stunning view of the Chesapeake Bay with the Bay Bridge in the background.<\/p>\n\"Bride\n\"Custom\n

The Mr & Mrs Ames lettering were also made by Ilana at Intersign National.<\/p>\n\"Lettering\n\"Guests\n\"Bride\n

The Bride and Groom with their whole wedding party!<\/p>\n\"Bride\n\"Bride\n\"Ilana\n\"Silhouette\n

Ilana and Andrew were also lucky to be blessed with such a perfect weather, sharing the chance with everyone to\u00a0watch the sun setting over the horizon from this venue.<\/p>\n\"Groom\n\"Bride\n\"Large\n\"Three-tier\n

The gorgeous three-tier cake from Sugar Bakers Cakes with the cute cake topper from Trina\u2019s Clay Creations. \u00a0I love how the custom-made cake toppers resembled not only the couple’s faces but also their beloved pets. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\"Custom\n

During the Horah dance, Andrew and Ilana were sat on the chair and lifted up high for a few minutes. It sure was fun!<\/p>\n\"During\n\"During\n\"During\n

To me,\u00a0the little boat made by the Bride served as\u00a0a great prop for the Bride and Groom’s engagement and wedding rings. I also found\u00a0the perfect background for the the sailboat, depicting how Andrew and Ilana shall sail through and weather the storms together throughout their lives.<\/p>\n\"Bride\n\"Bride\n

They ended the perfect night with sparklers!<\/p>\n\"Bride\n

Congratulations Ilana and Andrew!<\/p>\n

May you live happily ever after! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
