Maryland Nautical & Historic Capital

Annapolis MD Wedding Photographer & Videographer

Capturing coastal nautical romance, historic brick alleys, and Chesapeake Bay golden hour sunsets for couples celebrating in America’s sailing capital.

The Annapolis Charm

Colonial Brick & Coastal Chesapeake Light

Annapolis holds a timeless maritime romance unlike anywhere else in the mid-Atlantic. From the historic 18th-century gardens of William Paca House to the stately copper dome of the US Naval Academy Chapel and the lively docks of Ego Alley, Annapolis offers a vibrant blend of maritime heritage and refined luxury.

Our photography approach here embraces the reflective water, coastal breezes, and warm golden hour light off the Severn River and Chesapeake Bay. We know how to coordinate couple portraits along private wooden piers, navigate the vibrant historic brick alleys of Pinkney Street, and capture dynamic sunset drone footage across the marina.

Zero Travel Fees: Adore Moments travels freely throughout Annapolis, Severna Park, Edgewater, and Kent Island without any travel or lodging fees.
