I love a good love story! And Edna and Michael embody the very best of any good love story- the prince and princess find each other and fall in love. Ok, I know that may be a little silly but isn’t it wonderful to find inspiration in two people who choose to spend their lives together? Maybe it’s just me, but seeing the love and joy on Edna and Mike’s faces as they went through each part of their wedding day made me feel head-over-heels great! From Edna’s lacey blush pink wedding dress to Mike’s ever-present smile, to their family and friends’ warm hugs and congratulations, it was a wonderful wedding day!

The Tidewater Inn provided a lovely canvas for the affair, overseen by the creative eye of planner extraordinaire Kari Rider. Tables adorned with gorgeous floral arrangements greeted and wowed guests. A stunner of a dessert table starring a multi-tiered cake surrounded by yummy treats by master chocolatier JuneBsweet was the focal point of the room. I say that the desserts were the focal point, but really the stars of the show were Edna and Mike- as happy a couple as I’ll ever see. Congratulations to you both!

It was such fun to shoot Brooke and Joey’s elegantly sophisticated wedding! While I’ve known Brooke’s mother and sister from days gone by(the Country School!), I had not known Brooke before she asked me to be her wedding photographer. What a great person, and, what a wonderful groom she has in Joey! They were fabulous to work with, always ready for anything. The Tidewater Inn looked lovely and once again reminded me that you don’t have to have water views to have a PERFECT wedding! In fact, there’s something so classy about an in-town wedding, especially if the town is Easton. St. Mark’s Church hosted their ceremony; I can’t even count the number of big smiles and hugs! Surrounded and supported by lovely friends and family, their whole day was an event that I’m sure they’ll cherish always. What a great way to begin their lives together!

{ Melissa + Kyle • 10/25/14 • The Tidewater Inn • Eastern Shore Wedding }

I have been lucky, lucky this year to do several weddings for people whom I know personally. That is an added treat- having known the bride or groom way before they fell in love and became a married lady or gentleman!! I guess what I mean is that it gives me a depth of familiarity to work from that I hope tells their story in a super meaningful manner. This was true with Melissa. It was so special to be a part of this wonderful time in her life, and, of course, her family’s, too. And meeting Kyle was great- his love for Melissa shines through every moment. I loved knowing that they met at The Tidewater Inn which was a big reason why they selected it as their wedding venue- many fun memories and a beautiful setting.

I have been so excited to show them this little peek inside their wedding photos and hope they will get a great idea of what’s to come when they see everything! Seeing the photos helps me relive all the special moments from October 25th- Melissa’s lovely dress, the smiles from her mom Lise and sister Allison as they all got into their wedding finery. Sweet moments with Melissa and her veil in the bridal suite, her Dad John’s socks with their heartfelt message. A ceremony in the Gold Room Garden Room with its fall-inspired decorations, a lovely roaring fireplace and brilliant aisle-lining lanterns. The tears and the looks Melissa and Kyle gave each other as they said their vows. Rock, paper, scissors to see who went first!

As the day moved along, and the reception featuring great variety food and a full dance floor was in full swing, they and their guests celebrated into the night. I did get Melissa and Kyle outside for a few “town” shots that I hope they’ll love. Oh and can’t finish without mentioning the fun nod to Halloween- masks and silly glasses and wax teeth were handed out later in the evening and really had the guests hamming it up!

I am so happy to send this little story of their day to them! Thanks so much for being the best and easiest going couple to work with. I loved every minute of it!
