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.

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?!!
