Andrea and Josh | Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum Wedding

Andrea and Josh’s wedding was so full of life and love and energy from start to finish.

They got married to the backdrop of sailboats on the Chesapeake Bay at the St Michael’s Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. Their reception was by far the most insane dance party we’ve ever documented which could not be captured anymore perfectly than Andrea crowd surfing at the end of the night.
