Chesapeake Bay Beach Club Wedding – Andrea and Sean
Love, Stories Documented, Wedding //
Ahh! Andrea and Sean’s Chesapeake Bay Beach Club Wedding is one that we will certainly never forget! As we arrived to meet up with Andrea and the girls, we received a call from Erin, the coordinator at the Beach Club. She told us there was an accident on the Bay Bridge and it was closed west bound. Ohh goodness. You never know what traffic will be like on the bridge (the only way to get between Annapolis and the Eastern Shore!) when all lanes are open… but, an accident with one way closed is sure to cause traffic challenges in both directions. Erin was just giving us the heads up so that we could be ready for flexibility! ;) (So grateful for their courtesy in contacting everyone immediately!!!)
Gratefully, we were with Andrea and Sean at this point and we could just go about our schedule as planned! (YAY for schedules with cushion room so that we can be flexible when unexpected things like this happen!) We went about the schedule as planned and as soon as we were ready to start the ceremony, we received word that many of Andrea and Sean’s guests were still stuck in traffic… including the Cantor! Big changes had to be made to the schedule at this point! Everything was delayed. The cocktail hour was bumped up before the Ceremony… Andrea and Sean did a first look that they had originally not planned for… and just before the introductions at the reception, the remaining few guests who had been in traffic for over 4 hours had arrived! Wahooo!
What a crazy day! And one that required incredible flexibility from everyone involved! Andrea and Sean handled it all with so much poise! Andrea is the bride that emailed us the week before their wedding with the good news that we were able to push the formal events of the reception back 5 minutes so that we could get pictures at sunset. ;) They were so organized with a minute by minute, thoroughly thought out, schedule of their dream day (you all know how much we LOVE that!). But you can imagine how hard this was for Andrea’s (self-proclaimed) type-A ness! ;) ! Ultimately, Andrea and Sean’s detailed planning allowed all of us to be more flexible when the unexpected happened! We were not stressed going in… so why would we stress now?!? ;) Instead of stressing, we were able to go with the flow as the day was meant to be! Andrea and Sean’s wedding day did not necessarily go as the timeline had planned, but we are totally confident their wedding day was exactly how it was supposed to be… a celebration of marriage, full of so much love and so much joy!
Andrea and Sean… thank you for your AMAZING smiles that set the mood for everyone on your special day! Thank you for being flexible and going with it… even when that seemed like the hardest thing to do in the world! ;) (I feel like you can check off one of your first big lessons in marriage… be flexible, even when it seems like the hardest thing to do in the world. You’ve got that down! ;) ) Your wedding was incredibly special and we are so honored to have been able to capture it! We are wishing you a lifetime of so much love and so much joy! 
Thank you so much to all of the wedding professionals, who also can check flexibility off their list of traits to celebrate! ;)
