Maryland Wedding Photographer

This Kent Island Resort wedding was captured by Michelle Whitley in July 2023. Michelle is a Kent Island Resort and Maryland wedding photographer available for weddings and portraits throughout the Chesapeake Bay, Eastern Shore, and beyond.

If you’re dreaming of a romantic waterfront wedding in Maryland, Jillian and Max’s summer wedding at Kent Island Resort in Stevensville is sure to inspire you! With breathtaking waterfront views, a dreamy white tent reception, and stunning golden-hour portraits, their wedding was the perfect mix of elegant and laid-back.

As a Maryland wedding photographer, capturing love stories like Jillian and Max’s at this incredible venue is always a dream. From their emotional first look to their dance floor moments, every detail of their day was picture-perfect.

Summer Waterfront Ceremony

Jillian and Max’s wedding day started with them getting ready in Kent Island Resort’s charming suites. Jillian’s plunge appliqué gown and soft, natural bridal look were stunning. Max and his groomsmen looked sharp in classic black suits.

Their outdoor ceremony overlooking the Thompson Creek was a showstopper. It consisted of a floral arch framing the shoreline, and golden sunlight filtering through the trees. As a Maryland wedding photographer, moments like Jillian walking down the aisle and Max’s reaction make waterfront weddings so special.

A Bright & Refreshing Tented Reception

After the ceremony, guests enjoyed a relaxed cocktail hour with signature drinks and delicious Maryland seafood. The reception took place under a beautiful white tent, decorated with string lights, lush florals, and soft candlelight. Jillian and Max’s first dance was magical and unexpected. Once the dance floor opened up, guests kept the energy high all night long.

As the evening wrapped up, everyone left with full hearts and amazing memories from a truly unforgettable wedding day.
