Engagement Photos - Ocean City, MD - Kelly & Jeff

I’m photographing Kelly & Jeff’s upcoming wedding at the beautiful & amazing Dunes Manor in Ocean City, MD, and they had asked me to do their engagement photos in Ocean City, MD as well. Since they were confident we were going to get quite a few beach shots at the wedding itself, they wanted something little different for the engagement photos. As it turns out, Northside Park in Ocean City, MD is a great location to do engagement photos. The reasons for this are two-fold: really beautiful scenery, and no sand & wind elements to worry about since it’s bayside & not directly on the ocean. We lucked out with the light & no crowds of people. We took a walk around the perimeter of the park, and anywhere we found a great background/location and set up my light stand & we took the photos. These were all shot these right before the sun was setting, and I love the way these came out….see a few of my favorites below!

Ocean City, MD Wedding Photographer

Ocean City, MD wedding at Dunes Manor Hotel!

Where do I begin to describe this amazing Ocean City, MD wedding? Shari and Paul had their wedding right on the beach in-front of the beautiful Dunes Manor Hotel in Ocean City, MD. I can’t recommend this OC hotel enough, the staircase leading up to the main lobby is amazing, and in terms of hotels and the overall “wedding experience”, I always find this hotel & the staff to be top-notch and very accommodating.

This wedding came up very last minute due to a local photographer & friend having a family emergency, so I had only a few days to prepare and luckily it all worked out in the end and I think we ended up with some gorgeous photos that tell the whole story below.

Not only is the venue and the hotel absolutely gorgeous, but the beach right in-front of it wasn’t too bad either! This was a HOT Saturday wedding, likely 92 degrees in fairly full Sun(!) - but that didn’t stop this couple from having an awesome time.

Here’s some favorite shots below from this recent wedding.

Love this wide-angle shot of Shari & Paul at their Ocean City, MD wedding this past July! :)

Looking for an Ocean City, MD wedding photographer?

Hi there,

So if you’re looking for an Ocean City, MD wedding photographer you’ve come to the right place. My goal as a wedding photographer is to capture your special day from beginning to end, and I love capturing memories for the bride & groom to last a lifetime. Here’s some personal favorite ‘bride-getting-ready’ photos I posted below that shed light on the “beginning” of your wedding day.

Not every bride (or groom for that matter!) wants to capture the ‘getting-ready’ portion of the day for a variety of reasons - because of potential schedule shifts, underlying stress, the underlying real-life need to ‘get ready for the big day’ without worrying about getting photos done etc. All of these reasons make absolute perfect sense too! :) But with that being said, I do think a series of ‘bride-getting-ready’ shots will definitely capture an important “preparation” of your big day that is undeniable.

Most bride-getting-ready shoots will often only take me only 30-45 minutes to do, and the memories and the moments definitely last forever! Here’s a few of my favorite select shots below of bride-getting-ready shots:

For the bride-getting-ready shots, I try not to use flash (if possible) and I love shooting right by any window that’s available. This adds a lot of natural light to the room, and the results often speak for themselves! Most hotels right in the Ocean City, MD are located right on the beach, so there’s no shortage of sunlight to work with.

Sometimes if you’re lucky, the bridal suite will have space outside that will make for some compelling shots to “get ready” in, luckily at Savanna & Tim’s recent wedding in Ocean City, MD there was no shortage of amazing spots to capture her getting ready. The view was spectacular here, and it definitely added to the magic of the day!
