Deborah and Sam loved seeing their families watch them make a life commitment to each other. While enjoying a wonderful, comfortable evening on the Miles River at The Inn at Perry Cabin, they basked in the love and support of those closest to them. After a meaningful ceremony, they walked along the shoreline, hand in hand, enjoying the sweet “newness” of being husband and wife.
Jennifer and Brian wanted a small wedding. But, they didn’t want one in just any venue. So, they had their little wedding at a big, gracious, renowned Inn – The Inn at Perry Cabin in St. Michaels, MD. Jennifer had asked me to be sure and photograph her with her 2 sisters, as they had a tradition of getting whichever one of them was the bride in her wedding gown while the other two were in casual clothes. With the Miles River kindly serving as background, we got that shot! While their famiies looked on, video cameras rolling and catching every second, they repeated their vows and concluded with a symbolic joining of their families by mixing colored sand in a specially made picture frame containing a picture of themselves. After dancing on the patio, the group was invited in to a luscious spread in the Miles Room at the Inn.
Ashley and Johnny’s lovely wedding at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club reflected their style to a “T”: casual and fun with beautiful details and the love of family and friends. Ashley made everything – the place cards, candle holders, and table cards, all had touched her hand. The place cards were photos she had shot at Terrapin Nature Park after carefully drawing “1” “2” “3”, and so on, in the sand. Each picture was then displayed on wooden easels at their respective tables. Shells were everywhere, even woven into the colorful bouquets by Shirley Windsor of Seasonal Flowers. With the scenic Bay Bridge in the background, vows were taken and the celebration began. Shells once again graced another important detail, the wedding cake, created by Julie Haines of Julie Bakes. I was touched by the heartfelt toasts from their friends and family which brought tears to their eyes as well. At sunset, Johnny and Ashley walked hand in hand along the snug little beach in front of the beach club and listened to the gulls overhead and watched the colors change from pink to orange, to blue.
