Fishing Bay Yacht Club Virginia Wedding Sam + Yuning

Sam & Yuning’s Dream Wedding at Fishing Bay Yacht Club

As a Virginia wedding photographer, I had the incredible opportunity to capture the beautiful union of Sam and Yuning’s Fishing Bay Yacht Club Virginia Wedding. Their wedding not only showcased their love for each other but also highlighted the breathtaking scenery of the yacht club, making it a perfect backdrop for a memorable day.

How They Met: A Serendipitous Beginning

Sam and Yuning’s love story began on the very first day of graduate school. Sitting next to each other at orientation, they quickly bonded over shared interests and a mutual appreciation for life’s little joys. Their connection blossomed into a beautiful relationship that’s enriched by their favorite activities—dining at Asian restaurants, playing board games with friends, and traveling the world together.

A Proposal to Remember

Sam’s proposal was nothing short of magical. Set against the stunning backdrop of Lake Moraine in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada, he chose the perfect moment: the sunrise over the mountains. As the sunlight illuminated the lake’s unique blue hue, Sam proposed in Chinese, and Yuning joyfully accepted. Although the video didn’t capture the moment due to a forgotten button press, the couple has beautiful photos with the lake in the background, immortalizing the experience.

Wedding Colors and Themes

Their wedding colors—sage green, dusty pink, with touches of navy blue and red—reflect their personalities and love story.  With a strong family connection to Deltaville, where many of Sam’s relatives have tied the knot, it was vital for him to host their ceremony at Fishing Bay Yacht Club. Yuning was thrilled with the idea of saying their vows overlooking the serene water.

Why Fishing Bay Yacht Club?

Fishing Bay Yacht Club is an exquisite sailing club located on Stove Point in Deltaville, Virginia, offering water frontage on both Fishing Bay and Jackson Creek. This well-protected bay is part of the Piankatank River, and the venue provides easy access to the Chesapeake Bay. With Sam’s grandmother as a member and a rich family history of weddings at the club, it became the perfect choice for their special day.

Choosing the Right Photographers

When it came to selecting their wedding photographer, Sam and Yuning knew they wanted a style that was bright, airy, and timeless. They believed these qualities would capture the essence of their love and the beautiful moments of their wedding day, creating images that would never go out of style.
