Amazing experience! Wish I could do it again!

We just got married by Captain Iris this past Sunday :) We were very nervous about how the sail would go, without having a rehearsal dinner or anything ;) but Captain Iris explained the process and it was smooth sailing there on out!! Her matter of fact mannerisms cracked us up as well in the best way, it was so genuine :) The write-up of “our story”, the readings, and entire “under sail” ceremony was perfect!!! The first mate was wonderful also! They worked so well together and the way Captain Iris steered the boat while sailing was a sight! Thank you so much for making this long awaited event better than we even expected!

Selina went above and beyond to see that our wedding was fantastic

We chose the Selina because St Michaels is our favorite lil town on the Eastern Shore. Captain Iris and her crew took care of us and made sure we received everything That the very reasonable price of the wedding package offered. I highly recommend the Selina as a venue for a small wedding group!

The Perfect Elopement!

My husband and I had a private ceremony aboard the Selina II and it could not have been more perfect! The crew was outstanding and helpful (especially since we had a bit of rain). Everything was beautiful and it was clear that they knew what to do to make the experience memorable. Reverend Bonnie did a perfect job officiating, it was as if she’d known us for years! I would highly recommend if you are considering a small ceremony or elopement!

I had the pleasure of working with Captain Iris for an elopement aboard the Sail Selina II and she did such a great job! Not only did she captain the ship, she performed a sweet ceremony while under sail. This was the perfect way to celebrate an intimate marriage ceremony!

I was invited aboard the Selina II for two beautiful September weddings. It was an event that I will never forget. Captain Iris Clarke mixes a splash of nautical teachings, and a dash of humor, with spiritual observations as she takes you along the Miles river aboard the magical ship that is the Selina II. Her wedding services are inspirational and she truly brings out the joy of that very moment. By the time we were back at the dock, I felt as if she was a dear friend I had known all my life. As a photographer, you can not beat the scenery - I could not ask for a better backdrop than the St. Michael's harbor, the open water, and most importantly the Selina II herself. I've been on a few boats but none quite as photogenic. I'm hoping to return this sailing season to photograph more weddings.
