Nothing is more important than family. That's why we have weddings to begin with, it's the joining together of two families to form a brand new one. I love capturing such an exciting day, the start of a new legacy.

Seth and Christine met each other as midshipmen at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis Maryland. Their homes were far away for many years and a new family of friends, fellow midshipmen, grew up out of their time at the Academy. Now on their wedding day, it was these multiple families that came together to celebrate the start of Seth and Christine's new family. To make it all even more special, it was Memorial day! What a perfect way to celebrate Memorial day, photograph the wedding of two Naval Academy graduates, each on their way into the armed forces.

One of my favorite parts of the day included the time with Christine and her bridesmaids, who are all Naval Academy graduates and strong ones at that! I'm not sure how many groups of bridesmaids could hold themselves in a pull-up position for a photo together (see below). This was a wonderful group of ladies who care deeply for each other.  

The wedding was held at Trinity United Methodist Church in Annapolis, a beautiful church with a high wood ceiling, lots of windows, and a classic exterior. Seth and Christine are pretty carefree and easygoing, going so far as to chose pizza and pie for the reception! That was a first for me, and hopefully not a last.

Enjoy my favorites from their day below!
