St. Michaels, MD Wedding Welcome Party

July 22, 2025

Preston and Will spoiled their guests all weekend long for their St. Michaels, MD wedding at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum and really, I think everyone should do this! It made the entire weekend feel absolutely luxurious, so much time for family and friends, and the perfect way to ease into a full day wedding. And really, is there any better way to welcome out-of-towners to St. Michaels than with a crab feed and a photographer constantly watching her back that she doesn’t walk backwards off the dock? I think not.

We snagged a few almost-married portraits on the walk from The Crab Claw over to the The Galley, and if you’re at all on the fence about making your Night Before extra special, I hope you’ll take a few notes from these two.

ABOUT BRITTANY

After 13 years and over 250 weddings, I've created a wedding experience that is completely unfussy and truly irresistible.

Exceptional, gorgeous photography doesn’t have to be so serious; it can be playful and celebratory. Wanna know what lights me up? Unscripted, in-between moments on fast-paced wedding days and salty cocktail hour snacks. It’s been a thrill to see my work featured in magazines and online, but I’m proudest of all the brides who turned into friends.
