Black Greek Inspired Wedding with an AKA Bride and Alpha Groom at Herrington on the Bay

Kirstyn and Yves, a beautiful couple who met during their college years and shared a deep connection through their pledge to Black Greek sorority and fraternity, decided to make their wedding day a true reflection of their love story. They chose the stunning Herrington on the Bay in North Beach, Maryland, as the backdrop for their special day, and the result was nothing short of magical.

Kirstyn, a proud AKA, walked down the aisle in a traditional white dress, radiating elegance and grace. Her ten bridesmaids, however, wore pink satin dresses, paying tribute to the AKA bride on her big day. To complete their look, they carried vibrant bouquets featuring pink and red florals with green ivy gracefully cascading from the sides.

Yves, the groom, represented his Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity influence by donning a sharp burgundy red suit, and his groomsmen followed suit. It was a nod to his cherished fraternity and added a touch of personal significance to the occasion.

Under the warm, sunny sky, Kirstyn and Yves exchanged heartfelt vows, sealing their commitment with a symbolic jump over the broom. The ceremony was a beautiful blend of tradition and love, honoring their family heritage.As the sun began to set, we captured breathtaking sunset portraits of the newlyweds, capturing the golden hues of the moment. It was a time for them to bask in the joy of being newlyweds before the festivities continued.

During the reception, the couple's Greek life connections came to life in a series of memorable moments. Yves and his Alpha brothers serenaded Kirstyn, and Kirstyn's Alpha Kappa Alpha sorors encircled her to reciprocate the love. It was a heartwarming display of unity and camaraderie.

But the real showstopper came when Kirstyn and Yves, along with their fellow sorority and fraternity members, performed a lively stroll, with guests cheering them on from the sidelines. It was a celebration of their shared journey and the bonds they had formed throughout their college years.

As the night continued, the couple danced the night away, surrounded by the love and support of their friends and family. And just when they thought the evening couldn't get any more magical, they were surprised with a dazzling display of fireworks over the water—a breathtaking moment they'll cherish forever.

It was a day filled with tradition, unity, and joyful celebration, a testament to the power of love and the importance of honoring one's roots.
