Deanna and Tom were one of my first 2021 couples to book! Back then, it seemed like their wedding was ages away. We actually ended up doing two engagement sessions – one in 2019 at the Christmas Tree farm where they got engaged, and a second in 2020 in their home town of Federal Hill! I had a blast doing these two sessions with them because I really got to know them as a couple. They are incredibly kind, ridiculously funny, and always have the biggest smiles on their faces. I knew their wedding was going to be amazing – and it was! Deanna & Tom chose a beautiful color palette for their pastel Herrington on the Bay wedding. The main colors were light blue, blush and ivory with elegant details and tropical touches – perfect for this Southern Maryland waterfront venue!

Deanna’s gold details were so elegant and I love the palm tree socks that Tom & the groomsmen wore!

Deanna surprised Tom with a little pre-wedding gift…a Smirnoff Ice!

Deanna and Tom’s wedding ceremony took place overlooking the bay under palm trees! This venue instantly transports me to the tropics with its beautiful resort vibe.

The beautiful white tented Polynesian ballroom was decorated with blush linens, florals, gold accents and wood details.

After the bride and groom’s first dance, we went out for some sunset photos on the beach!

The light on the pier was incredible, and those pastel cotton candy skies were a photographer’s dream!

Then, they headed back to the reception where they partied all night long!
