Weddings

There is no better time to blog about a wedding in Puerto Rico then when we are smack dab in the middle of winter!  The chill in the air makes me reflect back to the wonderful wedding we captured in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico.  Courtney met me at a wedding show and the connection was almost instant.  Our personalities clicked and as her destination wedding came to life,  so did the reality of Hamilton Photography becoming destination wedding photographers.    The wedding took place at The Rio Mar Beach Resort and Spa.  The gorgeous beaches and vibrant palm trees made for fantastic backgrounds.  Courtney and Eric had the most romantic wedding setting possible.  They were such a sweet couple and you know they were well loved because many people came to celebrate with them (as far as California!).  There are millions of photos I want to post but I realize it would overload my blog so here are a few of my favorites and I might blog some more as we progress into the winter.  For now, enjoy these and just think "warm thoughts".

It was another great day for a wedding in Baltimore , and Hamilton Photography had the pleasure of shooting Beth and Scott's big day! The ceremony was at the historic Old Otterbein Methodist Church and then we were off to Federal Hill for some fun outdoor formals.Beth, Scott, and all their friends had a blast and I think we captured most of the fun.The reception was at the Radisson Plaza Lord Baltimore in downtown and the ballroom looked grand and stunning as usual.And of course the usual suspect from Absolute Entertainment was rocking the house down , Jason Wallace.

Eastern Shore weddings are great.  There is so much natural beauty surrounding the special day.  I had never worked at Matapeake State Park before and I have to say I was impressed! Since i shot this wedding, I've taken two families there for portraits...there are so many different parts to the ground.  It is gorgeous.  It is smack dab in between the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club and Silver Swan.  It is a more casual atmosphere but Shaina and Jeff created elegance with the space.   They were a great couple who truly enjoyed every every moment of their wedding day.  A big shout out to Joanna from Amie Decker Beauty, she did an amazing job with the make up.  Beat2Beat kept the dance floor going with some great music.  Congratulations to Shaina and Jeff!

Jaclyn and Kyle had my favorite kind of wedding day ... 'all about Annapolis'.  You can't get more Annapolis when you wed at the USNA and have your reception at the Marriott Waterfront in the heart of it all!   I have said it before and I will say it again, the Naval Academy campus is one of my favorite places to photograph a newly wed couple.  There are so many great spots that it never gets old!  Kyle and the other officers were great to work with.  They really liked to have fun which makes my job more fun.  Jaclyn looked gorgeous and I loved her bright blue shoes which showed off her personality!  The Marriott staff is great!  If you are looking for a place that has a charming waterfront, great photograph opportunities and a staff that knows what they are doing, check out the Marriott waterfront...they rock!!  Congratulations to Jaclyn and Kyle ... enjoy married life :)
