Today marks an exciting new beginning in my life and in the world of the Annapolis wedding industry! This project is something that my grandmother was incredibly excited for and I can only imagine how proud she would have been to see it take flight today! The launch of Bayside Bride marks more than just a new venture for me, but rather a triumphant new beginning in a time of hardship… It’s about following an idea, turning it into a dream, and watching it blossom through hard work and enthusiasm.

And be sure to show your support by liking us on Facebook and following us on Twitter as well!

None of this would have been possible without the support of my business partner, Krista, and the support of the entire wedding community! Bayside Bride is aimed at assisting Annapolis brides in planning their dream weddings while also featuring a few of the amazing vendors in this area! Today marks our official launch and we’re opening the website with images from our styled shoot last month!
Creating a vision for a styled photo shoot is a lot of fun! It’s an amazing feeling to have creative control over bringing a concept to life! Krista and I would especially want to thank Angela of Behind the Veil for doing makeup, Liu Liu Salon and Spa for hair, Starboard Clothing Co. for providing Cody’s bow-ties, Intrigue Design & Decor for a variety of stunning floral arrangements, Allison Barnhill Designs for our adorable “Sail Away” sign, and Rebecca who both modeled and provided the beautiful Stella and Dot jewelry! Every one of these contributing vendors were phenomenal to work with and I personally recommend them to each and every one of my brides planning an Annapolis wedding or designing their engagement session!
