To say that they belong together is an understatement in its most extreme form. They were made for each other- Abbeigh for Jamie, Jamie for Abbeigh. From that first date at a high school dance to the cruise during which Jamie asked Abbeigh to be his wife, they’ve always fit together like a perfectly-designed jigsaw puzzle. He utterly adores her, showering her with affection, never bothering to care if his Naval Academy friends razz him for it. And she delights in him in a way that’s nothing short of inspiring- not able to perfect her “model face” during their e-session because she couldn’t stop smiling. So when they each prepared in their separate suites to meet one another at the end of the aisle, there were no hints of anxiety. Just excitement. Sheer joy. Utter bewilderment that the day they’d finally be married was HERE.

Jamie & Abbeigh, I can’t express how much of a blessing it is to me to be your wedding photographer. Your love is precious and I am so honored that I’ve had a chance to witness it twice over the past year! Your engagement session caused me to be smitten with you, and your wedding day stole my heart. Thank you, a hundred times over, for letting me into your love and for the honor of documenting your wedding day.

We began at the Governor Calvert House in Annapolis…

Jamie wrote Abbeigh a letter (in their wedding colors, no less) for her to read on the morning of their wedding. This is one of my favorite parts of being a wedding photographer- having the honor of witnessing precious moments like this.

All of Abbeigh’s gorgeous bridesmaids were her sisters! AND their last name was Bennett. I was in Pride & Prejudice heaven- “A Miss Bennett, a Miss Bennett, a Miss Bennett, and … a Miss Bennett.

There was a trolley on hand to transport wedding guests to the reception!

I loved their red velvet cupcakes that doubled as place cards!

Jamie’s groomsmen/friends decided that the newlyweds needed their own rendition of “Total Eclipse of the Heart.” Well done, gentlemen, WELL. DONE.
