Annapolis Maritime Museum Wedding | Courtney & Jesse | Annapolis Wedding Photographer

A classic nautical summer wedding at the Annapolis Maritime Museum photographed by Maryland wedding photographer Christa Rae Photography

The Annapolis Maritime Museum was the setting for Courtney and Jesse’s late summer waterfront wedding ceremony and reception at Back Creek and overlooking the Chesapeake Bay.

Their wedding was full of beautiful classic and nautical details, and their reception was filled with so many fun moments. Courtney was absolutely stunning in her high-low cut dress – which was so unique!

Courtney and Jesse met each other eleven years ago at an employee meeting of a company for which she had just been hired and he had just turned in his two week notice of resignation. Two weeks later, Jesse took Courtney to an Orioles game, and the rest is history! They are a fun loving couple who enjoy spending time with their large group of friends, as can be seen in the photos which follow.

Congratulations, Courtney and Jesse! It was an honor to photograph your wedding and I truly enjoyed getting to know you two and capture your love!
