What a couple! What a wedding at The Oaks! It goes to show you that a wedding can be all anyone would hope forAND be peaceful and calm. AND FUN! We loved working with Virginia and Tommy- they are a class act. And their whole wedding party were the same. I loved that Virginia was so conscious of recycling that she bought her wedding dress second hand and her shoes on Poshmark! I loved that Tommy couldn’t find his underwear on his wedding day- don’t know how that ultimately was resolved!! In all cases, things just seemed to flow nicely. Sunny skies cooperated and stayed around, it wasn’t too hot, the musicians from the band provided a great background through the ceremony, cocktail hour and, of course, the reception. Virginia added some nice fashion drama by changing into a more dance-friendly outfit after the dinner hour and to tie it all together, surprise fireworks lit up the night after dark! How cool is that?!!

Kelsey + Wes | September 8, 2018 | St. Michaels Wedding

Kelsey and Wes didn’t let a little rain dampen their enjoyment of their St. Michaels wedding day. In fact, from what I could see, pretty much nothing could have succeeded in that category! The day was defined by laughter, a few tears and the simple joy of becoming husband and wife.

My memories start with Kelsey’s dress- she killed it! Seriously, nothing could have looked better on her! Tears all ’round when she  got into her dress!

And Wes in his Joe Banks suit….so handsome! He and the guys had fun playing to the camera during their group shots- and with those fun, white sunglasses, (as great a prop as ever was), they made what can sometimes be a rather predictable group of photos, tons of fun.

At the Miles River Yacht Club, I have to admit, the rain came. But with the cute little waterside Isabelle’s Bar, we found some cover as well as a great backdrop. Their first look, as you can see, was another spot for love and laughter.

After a tented ceremony beside the Miles River, the group warmed up in the Yacht Club ballroom, stylish décor and tiny lights setting the celebratory mood. Kelsey used shells for her table assignments and added a special flourish of a heart drawn in sand on the tabletop with the couple’s initials drawn into it. Sweet!

Rounding out with a yummy dinner, wonderful toasts that had everyone in stitches, and lots of dancing, the celebration ended on a high not as Kelsey and Wes left in a decorated rickshaw after a sparkler send-off.

Namita + Nick | St. Michaels Wedding on the Patriot | 06.09.18

What a wedding! What a blending of two wonderful families! Even a few raindrops couldn’t dampen the celebration for these two lovebirds. Namita and Nick were one of the sweetest couples we’ve worked with, and their pure joy at becoming husband and wife was such a treat. With the Patriot as a nautical backdrop and after saying their vows, everyone enjoyed a delicious Garden and Garnish dinner, they danced the night away along with family and friends. Congratulations Namita and Nick!
