Justin & Lauren | Chesapeake Bay Beach Club Wedding

Posted on Jul 23, 2015 in Weddings | 4 Comments

bride and groom on the beachI’m still working my way through some of my favorite second shooting weddings, from last year, and this wedding at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club certainly stands out as a favorite. Lauren, from Lauren C Photography asked me to come along and work with her for the day and we had so. much. fun. Not only is Lauren an amazingly talented photographer, but she is a blast to work with. Top it off with Lauren & Justin being two of the sweetest, energetic couples, and you have a recipe for a great wedding.

As soon as I arrived with Justin and his guys, it was like being greeted by an old friend. Justin is the type of guy that makes you feel immediately comfortable and at ease, which made photographing him and his buddies more like hanging out with friends, than a day at work. nautical wedding socks Chesapeake Bay Beach Club wedding Jennifer Smutek-103 Chesapeake Bay Beach Club wedding Jennifer Smutek-105 Vans on your wedding day outdoor wedding in maryland Jennifer Smutek-107 Chesapeake Bay Beach Club wedding Jennifer Smutek-109Justin wore a picture of his pop in his jacket pocket.

But hold on a minute, because, no. No, it’s not. In all the years I’ve been photographing weddings, this is the first time that I’ve seen a groom accidentally feed himself the cake, rather than his bride. But no worries Justin, you are not alone! One of my grooms ending up doing the same thing this past winter! But, nothing beats the documented evidence of Justin’s cake faux pax…Chesapeake Bay Beach Club wedding Jennifer Smutek-189 Chesapeake Bay Beach Club wedding Jennifer Smutek-190 Chesapeake Bay Beach Club wedding Jennifer Smutek-194 Chesapeake Bay Beach Club wedding Jennifer Smutek-197sunset at the chesapeake bay beach club
