Where do I even begin? Jordan & Arthur’s wedding was AMAZING! I laughed, I cried, and I got to yell “OPA!!!!” (I’ve always wanted to do that haha).

You may remember from their engagement session at the Virginia Aquarium that they love all things nautical. From the colors to the centerpieces, Jordan did a FABULOUS job at bringing her vision to life.

A huge THANK YOU to my friend & second shooter Elizabeth of Elizabeth Henson Photos! You are a rockstar.

I’m so excited to share their special day with you! Be sure to check out the vendors at the bottom 🙂

Jordan’s great grandfather (who has has since passed away) was an Army officer in the 1940’s. The beautiful gold button wrapped around her bouquet is from his uniform. <3

Jordan and Arthur attended Mass Maritime where a ‘ring ceremony’ (dipping the class ring into the water of the seven seas) is a right of passage. Jordan says it’s seen as being ‘married and loyal to the ocean’. They decided to incorporate this tradition at their wedding by dipping their rings in water from 5 places that have been a part of their journey together! Their family combined the water before the lovebirds dipped the rings and it was absolutely beautiful.

OPA!!!!
