The Wedding of Jen and David

Dad giving away his "little girl".
Crazy with happiness, Jen smiled, giggle and laughed through much of the ceremony.
Spring weddings can be tempermental. You never know what you're going to get. Jen and David had planned a beach wedding in Ocean City, Maryland but it was not to be. Instead, the couple was married on the 22nd floor of the Golden Sands Club. A beautiful skylit room overlooking the beach, which was windy, cold and rainy. But the mood inside was warm and joyous. I took so many photos I really loved, I had to pare it down to these few as my favorites. 
     The unique thing for me was being able to an after wedding shoot. We agreed to that months before the wedding not knowing how important it would be as we had little room inside the venue and it was a nasty storm outside during the day of the wedding. So, the day after, Jen and David re-dressed in their wedding attire and we proceeded to have FUN! photographing on the beach and the boardwalk. It turned out to be a beautiful day with equally beautiful images. 
Thank you to my assistant Nancy for hoisting lights, reflectors, and flashlights to create unique images. Thank you to Jen and David for your willingness to try anything and for your great enthusiasm and courage to run in that cold water! :)
I love this photo! Jen hugs her new father-in-law as they watch the mother/son dance, tears sparkling in Dad's eyes. The circle of life moves foward.

The couples final dance on the 22nd floor of the Golden Sands hotel in Ocean City. A beautiful room overlooking the beach.

A day after shoot at the arcade, Trimper's Rides and Amusements, on the boardwalk of Ocean City. A big shout out to the manager who kept the carousel still for this shoot. This carousel if the oldest continuously running one in the USA.

Fun photos in front of the ticket booth at Trimper's on the boardwalk.

The wind and the weather cooperated for this gorgeous moment.
