Anna and Brad’s Ocean City Yacht Club wedding was the perfect blend of coastal elegance and vibrant summer style. This bayside venue is always a joy to photograph, with its nautical architecture, sweeping water views, and timeless ballroom space. Their wedding day brought together joyful energy, colorful details, and heartfelt moments that felt true to who they are as a couple.
The morning began in the Ocean City Yacht Club bridal suite, where Anna slipped into her glittery floral appliqué gown. She paired it with soft waves in her hair and a romantic makeup look that was timeless yet playful. Once she was ready, Anna stepped outside for a first look with Brad. The front of the venue, with its blue coastal siding and garden spaces, created a refined and colorful backdrop for their portraits.
Their bridal party joined in soon after, bringing even more style and personality to the day. Bridesmaids wore a mix of non-traditional dresses in shades of blue, while the groomsmen coordinated in dark suits. A classic red convertible became the perfect photo spot, adding a fun, retro pop of color to the portraits and creating some of the most iconic images of the day.
The ceremony took place inside the yacht club, where vibrant floral arrangements framed the space with color and texture. The intimate setting, paired with their joyful vows, made the moment feel both personal and romantic. Afterward, we slipped away with Anna and Brad for couples’ portraits along the dock. With the bay in the background, the photos felt effortlessly coastal and full of summer energy.
As guests made their way into the ballroom, the reception came alive with personality. Tables were adorned with multi-colored floral centerpieces, vintage glass candle holders, and layered shades of blue in the napkins and table runners. These details paired beautifully with the nautical elegance of the yacht club, creating a chic yet inviting atmosphere for dinner and dancing.
Later in the evening, Anna changed into a second look that included Hawaiian leis- a nod to her time living in Hawaii. She and Brad paused at the bar to cheers their drinks together, giving us the chance to capture some of our favorite moody late-night photos. From the colorful florals to the vibrant portraits to the joyful energy on the dance floor, this Ocean City Yacht Club wedding was a true celebration of love and life by the water.
