Nancy + Ryan’s Eastern Shore Wedding at The Oaks | 11.2.19

Nancy and Ryan’s sweet wedding had the blessing of sunny skies, a lovely, meaningful ceremony and lots of love and support from their family and friends. I loved how her two sisters and mom kept her calm and focused as they all got dressed in the bridal cottage at The Oaks Waterfront Inn. Cute, flowery robes, a gift from Nancy, brought a burst of color to the overall palette and the additional gifts of sparkly earrings for the bridesmaids were so pretty with their flowing dresses.

After the ceremony, and the limo ride back to The Oaks from the church, there was plenty of time for family photos and, of course, wedding party antics. We got our best light of the afternoon later in the day and took advantage of it and the long dock at the venue for some fun shots. Then it was into the ballroom for the grand introductions, which were marked by some funny entrances by the bridal party. Everyone cheered the smiling bride and groom when they entered the ballroom and went immediately into their first dance as husband and wife.

Allison + Brandon | Waterfront Wedding at The Oaks | 7.13.19

Fun and more fun- love and more love! This charming wedding at The Oaks Waterfront Inn in Royal Oak, MD hit all the right notes. From Allison’s lovely, lacy dress to her gorgeous flower arrangements and bouquet, to cute and fancy “guy” socks, the wedding was perfect! There was even an artist who painted a “reception” portrait for the lucky couple, a surprise well-appreciated, I’m sure, a gift from one of their thoughtful guests. Allison and Brandon will have sweet memories of all the wonderful, light-hearted, tender and funny moments from their waterfront wedding. And Brandon’s brother deserves a shout-out for having one of the funniest and coolest Best Man speeches ever, in my humble opinion! Congratulations Allison and Brandon on your fabulous wedding!

Hillary + Doug | St. Michaels Wedding | June 16, 2018

Smiles. That’s what stands out to me about Hillary and Doug’s wedding. That and their so obvious joy at becoming husband and wife. It was a family affair from the start as they chose Doug’s parent’s home on the Eastern Shore as their wedding location. It’s a place, I’m sure, that already has many wonderful memories for him and now he can add his wonderful wedding to his list. The festivities began at their Friday night rehearsal dinner at The Inn at Perry Cabin, a Shore landmark if there ever was one. The waterfront lawn was a fitting backdrop for family and friends to begin the wedding weekend celebration. Saturday, Hillary got ready in a suite at the Inn, eventually arriving at Doug’s Bozman house, ready to become Mrs. Naeve. The look when he saw her coming down the aisle, the looks, the smiles when her dad mixed humor and fond memories into his reception speech, the smiles at their toasts…it all made for a lovely, intimate wedding and it was crowned by a fun and lively post-dinner dance party. Congratulations Hillary and Doug! I’m so happy to have been a small part of your day!
