I had a wonderful time yesterday evening at the Milwaukee Yacht Club photographing their 139th annual Commissioning Ceremony. The Commissioning Ceremony is the opening of the Yacht Club and marks the beginning of the boating season. The Commodore and officers were brought to the dock by boat and the proceedings began. The deceased members from the past year were recognized and a wreath was laid in the water in memory of these members. The American Flag was raised and the National Anthem played. Then the club cannon was fired. I have never been to an event such at this and it was an amazing experience with a bunch of amazing people….. and lets not forget the very, very beautiful evening. To the yacht club members, you should have received a card from Kimberly Ann Photography with the dates the images from the ceremony will be posted on-line and instructions on how to view them. If you did not, please contact Kimberly at info@kimberlyannphotography.com or call 262-492-3893. They will be available beginning June 7th, 2010. But, in the meantime, enjoy a little sneak peek of a few images from the ceremony. Also, please feel free to click on the “add a comment” below this post and leave me a comment. Thank-you, Kimberly
I was glancing and noticed our friend in the line up to open (member) the yacht club and on the yacht. Too funny. Beautiful club. 🙂 Happy summer. Great photos as always!!
