A Spring Annapolis Wedding at the Naval Academy and Annapolis Yacht Club | Lindsay & Robert

Annapolis Naval Academy and Yacht Club Wedding photographed by Heather Ryan Photography

Picture this: a charming couple, both pilots with a passion for adventure, and a love that defies gravity. Lindsay & Robert's journey culminated in a breathtaking spring wedding in Annapolis, MD.

The Naval Academy provided a majestic backdrop for the nuptials, with its stately architecture and rich history echoing the couple's own journey of dedication and honor. Following the ceremony, guests made their way to the Annapolis Yacht Club for a beautiful waterfront reception. 

Every aspect of the wedding was meticulously planned, with attention to detail that reflected the couple's personality and style. From the whimsical cake topper featuring them wearing their respective flight gear to the fun blue VW bus they jumped in following their sparkler exit. The florals, expertly arranged by family friend Linda Sandborne, added a touch of natural beauty to the evening.

I had the privilege of capturing every moment of this extraordinary day and with Rivion Film behind the video lens, every moment was documented both in photo and video, ensuring that the memories of this day will live on for generations to come. 

The bride's gown, a stunning creation by Justin Alexander, was nothing short of exquisite. With its timeless A-line silhouette, it was the epitome of elegance and grace. And the pièce de résistance? A gorgeous bow adorning the back, adding a touch of whimsy to a classic design. 

The firing of the cannon and lowering of the American flag at the Annapolis Yacht Club is always a personal favorite of mine. It is a tradition at the AYC, a symbol of honor and respect. L+R also allowed plenty of time for photos and we utilized Bancroft Hall, the Superintendent's Garden, as well as the docks at the Yacht Club.

In the end, this spring 2023 wedding at the Naval Academy was more than just a celebration of love – it was a testament to the power of dreams, the beauty of tradition, and the joy of finding your co-pilot in life. It was an honor to be a part of such a special occasion, and I am grateful for the opportunity to document their love. 

xo, Heather
