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!

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!

Julie + Edward • September 17, 2016 • Elegant Garden Eastern Shore Wedding

Down a mile-long gravel lane, past the browning late-summer cornfields, I saw a tent top in the distance, popping up above a soy bean field. This tableau so perfectly illustrates why I love garden weddings on the Eastern Shore, and, consequently, why I loved Julie and Edward’s September wedding.

My favorite trifecta of elements were there- location, style and emotion. When you throw in a boatload of love, how could it not be the bees knees of fun?! So, Julie and Edward, my star couple, more than held their own in all this, in fact, they seemed to me to ride a big wave of love right into the moon-lit night.

I loved how sweet Edward was with her, how he stole glances throughout the night at his lady love. I like to think that he loved seeing her smile, her obvious joy in her wedding day and her commitment to him.

And Julie, with a great family supporting her, I loved how she glowed. Can that really have happened or did I imagine it? I believe I know the truth! As most brides know, when you finally get to your wedding day, all the planning is over and blessed relief has set in. I felt that Julie let go of all that “stuff” completely and so totally enjoyed her day that each and every moment was reflected in her expressions. Needless, to say, I loved working with them both!
