Dan and Lauren got ready together in their home before <a href=”https://www.nessakphotography.com/miami-art-deco-wedding-pictures/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>taking a boat to their ceremony</a> — a small dock in their neighborhood. Friends and family were shuttled in on a school bus, bundled up happily in the crisp Maryland November air.

Everyone made their way to the reception at <a href=”https://amaritime.org” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>Maritime Museum</a> to bask in the glow of fish tanks, nibble on food, and read about mollusk history as it was written on the walls. Dan made his way around the room methodically, talking to all of the guests while Lauren rode the dessert cart bike around the reception as friends and family cheered on.  Her dress swished around as she made her way through the crowd and he could be find laughing with old friends.
