Yulia and Nicholas were married at the Naval Academy Chapel in Annapolis, Maryland.  Nicholas just graduated from the Naval Academy and will soon be reporting for duty in San Diego, California so marrying his love on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend before they headed off seemed only fitting.  Yulia looked like a Russian princess as she floated down the aisle while 40 of their closest friends and relatives (many of whom had flown in from Russia) watched.  After the ceremony, we took photos in the gorgeous Buchanan House Gardens and around the Naval Academy.  We then headed over to the Ogle Alumni House for dinner, drinks, and toasts.  Following the reception, Yulia and Nicholas asked if I would stay an extra hour to take night photos of them along the Annapolis Waterfront.  Of course, I said yes! I am in love with the romance that comes along with night photos and photographing these two was so very easy!! Seriously? Look at them.

I’m so very happy I could be a part of Yulia and Nicholas’s wedding day and I wish them much luck in the future and with their move!
