We started at the Governor Calvert House, where both the bride and groom got ready for the day.
The bride, looking absolutely lovely.
The couple chose to see each other before the ceremony for photos.
Stephen wore a tie clip with a functioning slide rule that belonged to his late father. And how gorgeous are the dahlias and roses in Courtney’s bouquet?
Instead of a bus or a a limo or a shuttle, the couple, their wedding party and their families were whisked around Annapolis on a genuine trolley, complete with a clangy trolley bell!
Stephen’s mother seemed overcome with emotion from the first notes of Ave Maria during the processional.
My wonderful assistant, Lindsay, shot the next image on the right from the back of the aisle.
The deacon asks the couple’s guests how many of them had been wondering whether Stephen would trim his hair for the wedding.
Married!
After a few quick family photos in the church, we all jumped back on the trolley for some more casual fun photos around Annapolis with the couple’s family and friends.
We kept running into former students of Courtney, who worked in Anne Arundel County schools.
After a dapper portrait of the groom, his friends and brother pulled out the costume beards they had brought as a tribute to the groom’s former look. Hilarity ensued.
A few portraits of the newlyweds.
Rachel asked for a couple of photos with her seersucker-sporting boyfriend. I happily obliged.
A few photos from cocktail hour.
And lots and lots of merriment. Courtney + Stephen, we could not have had more fun with you, your friends and your families. Many, many congratulations to you both!
