The Tidewater Inn Wedding: Aimee + Brian

After their romantic engagement photo session in Annapolis, finally, the most anticipated time had arrived for me to photograph Aimee and Brian’s Wedding day.

The couple searched through several places in the greater Chesapeake Bay area before settling on their choice. They wanted a venue which would focus on them and not run multiple weddings a day, with rooms available either on-site or nearby since many of their guests were coming from out of state. They found their preference at Tidewater Inn, which was equipped with enough rooms and also endowed with inherent beauty of a uniquely “Maryland” vibe with no requirement for additional work or decorations. Additionally, Easton itself is a quaint small town they both enjoyed exploring. Aimee and Brian knew right away that it was the perfect setting.

I had no idea whether Aimee and Brian actually planned to smash the cake at each other, but the guests definitely encouraged them to do so.
