Hidden View Farm Wedding in Annapolis Maryland

March 9, 2023

Is there anything more quintessential “summer” than the sound of cicadas? Luckily for this couple, their wedding day coincided with the cicadas’ return to Maryland. One decided to make a go for it as a wedding crasher hitch-hiking on the bride’s dress!

These two Naval Officers met abroad while and were swept into a whirlwind romance during their time at the Naval Academy, so what better place to ring in this new chapter than back to the place that started it all? They returned to Annapolis for their wedding in the USNA Chapel and celebrated with family and friends at Hidden View Farm where David and his team did not disappoint with the stunning grounds making every guest feel like they’re in a storybook secret garden from the moment you enter the space.

The other unexpected guest? A white peacock who obliged the couple with a quick selfie!
