Documentary Wedding Photographer in DC | Romantic Coastal Wedding at Rehoboth Beach Country Club
If you’ve recently gotten engaged and are dreaming of a romantic wedding that blends elegance with laid-back coastal charm, let me introduce you to one of the most stunning venues on the East Coast: Rehoboth Beach Country Club. As a documentary-style wedding photographer serving DC, Maryland, and Virginia, I had the privilege of photographing an unforgettable wedding at this bayside gem—and I’m still swooning over every candid moment.

Why Rehoboth Beach Country Club Is a Hidden Gem for DMV Couples
Just a short drive from the DC metro area, Rehoboth Beach Country Club offers panoramic water views, manicured greens, and a timeless coastal backdrop that makes every photo feel like a magazine spread. Whether you’re planning a full destination wedding weekend or a quiet getaway celebration, this venue feels like an escape without being too far from home.
The couple I photographed tied the knot with the bay glistening behind them, surrounded by close family and friends. From heartfelt toasts on the terrace to golden hour portraits by the water, every part of the day felt intimate, relaxed, and joyfully unscripted.
Capturing Real Moments, Not Posed Perfection
As a candid, documentary-style photographer, I focus on the real moments—the laughter during getting ready, the quiet nerves before the ceremony, the tears during the first look, and the dance floor joy late into the night. At this Rehoboth wedding, the unscripted emotion was constant, and those raw, beautiful interactions are exactly what I aim to preserve in my work.
Your wedding photos should look and feel like you. Not overly posed or curated—but natural, warm, and timeless. Whether you’re getting married in the heart of DC or along the Maryland or Delaware coast, I bring the same intentional, storytelling approach to every wedding.
Planning a Wedding from DC to the Coast? Here’s Why It Works
Couples from the DMV often choose to escape the city for a more relaxed wedding atmosphere—while still wanting the elevated experience. Rehoboth Beach offers just that. Many of my clients live in DC, Northern Virginia, or Baltimore but find the beach provides the perfect backdrop for a meaningful celebration with fewer distractions.
And as a local-to-you photographer, I understand the rhythm of DMV weddings—whether we’re photographing in a Georgetown brownstone or a country club by the bay, I bring a grounded presence and years of experience capturing weddings throughout the region.
