Ryan + Jen Driver | Celebrations at the Bay | Nautical Wedding
Although there was a storm going through right next to us, Ryan + Jen’s wedding at Celebration’s at the Bay in Pasadena, Maryland was beyond perfect! We got a lot of wind, saw lighting, heard thunder, and even had a few rain drops come down but that did not stop us from still having the ceremony outside on the dock. We had a super special appearance from a double rainbow over the water behind the ceremony location! Better yet, the event that was happening on the other half of the venue canceled so we had the whole venue to ourselves for portraits!
Ryan + Jen are fun-loving, caring, and so very much in love with each other; this is everything I hope for in my couples! After the ceremony, I took them aside with their family and wedding party! You could feel all of the love surrounding Ryan + Jen as they had their family and friends standing next to them. After the family portraits were finished, I had some alone time with the newlyweds and photographed their first portraits as husband and wife! We had the beautiful view of the water in the background. We even got to go down on the docks towards the end of the portraits before they made their grand entrance into the reception.
All in all, it was truly a perfect day even with the dark clouds over the water. Together, Ryan + Jen completely compliment one another and they deserve nothing but the best! I am so beyond happy that I got to witness the beginning of the next chapter in their lives together. I hope this adventure gets better each and every day. Cheers to many, many decades of love and happiness!
xoxo,
Jade

Is there anything better than a maternity session on the beach…? (Hint: the answer is no…. lol) I vividly remember the day that Anna told me she was pregnant. I was just leaving base in Germany and pulled over since she was calling me on video. To say I was in disbelief is an […]

COVID-19 has definitely changed a lot this year in so many ways from how we style and celebrate milestones to how we socialize with friends and family. This past week Chandler asked me for some ideas of how to capture her birthday which just so happened to be the last day of her lock in […]

A little backstory before product photography came into my life… I started really getting into photographing other people when we were in Florida in 2015. We then moved to Maryland in December of 2015 and that is when my business grew. I had regular clients, weddings, second shot a lot of weddings, and finally began […]

I remember how terribly inconsistent I was with poses during an engagement session back when I started photography and my oh my.. Do you remember Anna? Back in July of 2016 I was invited to a styled shoot by a friend 30 minutes before it started. I ended up getting stuck in traffic on […]

One thing I have learned from this quarantine (as a family photographer) is that there is always more work that can be done to work on your craft. Even if that does not include shooting. I am going back through older sessions and came across this session with my best friend Natalie of Natalie Grace […]

If you are stationed in Germany, you have most likely been to Burg Lichtenberg at least a handful of times. This is one of my favorite castles to go to for family sessions. The kids love to run around and play and the adults can really take in the scenery around Burg Lichtenberg. Going to this […]
