Geni and Jason threw one amazing wedding celebration this past weekend in Easton, Maryland at The Tidewater Inn! These two have known each other since the 1st grade but it wasn’t until they were seniors that they started dating. Just being around Geni and Jason, you can tell they are the perfect match for each other. They chose the Gold Ballroom for their reception and the tent outside for their ceremony. Burgundy and gray details were used including vases filled with cranberries, lace table runners, burgundy bridesmaid dresses and ties, and my favorite, Geni’s burgundy ModCloth shoes! We explored the streets of downtown Easton for some pictures of the newlyweds and bridal party. After the ceremony, the reception started with a sweet first dance followed by some awesome dance moves from all of their guests!

April and Brett’s beachy, bayside wedding took place last weekend at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club in Stevensville, Maryland. These two have a huge love for the beach and chose the perfect spot for their wedding, the Beach House space. Beachy details were seen everywhere including starfish, wooden buoys, lanterns, pink sunglasses for all of the guests, nautical rope, and my favorite, a huge wooden crab guestbook! The bridesmaids all wore the prettiest hot pink dresses with open backs by Camilyn Beth and the groomsmen looked handsome in their gray Calvin Klein suits. The day started out with a sweet first look on the dock at a private home in Stevensville. We headed to the beach club next for some bridal party and newlywed pictures and I just loved the tall grasses! The bayside ceremony was filled with the most beautiful light and a neat unity ceremony with the tying of the 3 nautical cords. The reception was full of energy while everyone danced the night away!

Two best friends, Anna Marie and Ryan, tied the knot this week at one of their favorite spots, the Inn at Perry Cabin in St. Michaels, Maryland. Their vows were said overlooking the bay with only 2 close friends in attendance. They will celebrate later today back in their hometown of Morgantown, West Virginia with all of their family and friends! I just loved the lace detail on Anna Marie’s dress and these two couldn’t be any sweeter together!

Caitlin and Will’s sweet bike themed, military wedding took place last weekend in St. Michaels, Maryland. Vows were said at the beautiful Christ Church right in the heart of downtown followed by an open air, bayside reception at Harbourtowne. Both Caitlin and Will are active in the military and it was on a Navy ship in Kuwait that they met! With busy schedules, they tried to meet at least once a month and now these two finally get to be together full time! These two love bicycling and tandem bikes in particular. The bridal party all got together and bought them a new tandem bike which was used as they getaway vehicle at the end of the night! We also made a quick stop to the Inn at Perry Cabin where Will proposed and we found another tandem bike for some cute newlywed pictures. I loved Will’s Marine Corp uniform and the sword arch that was performed outside of the church following the ceremony. Another fun moment was the bridal party all kicking off their shoes to play a little beach volleyball at Harbourtowne! Congratulations Caitlin and Will and enjoy your new life together!

Kelsey and Nick said I Do in one of the most beautiful catholic churches I have seen, the St. John the Apostle Catholic Church in Leesburg, Virginia followed by an open air patio reception at Rose Hill Manor. It all started at Virginia Tech where these two went to college and met. Nick always wanted to be married in a catholic church and once he saw St. John, he was immediately set on having their ceremony there! I just loved how bright and airy this church was with light blue walls and a tall cathedral ceiling. Kelsey really wanted moments captured and this was right up my alley! My favorite moment hands down was Nick’s reaction when seeing Kelsey walk down the aisle! After some homemade apple pie moonshine was passed around, it made for some awesome dance shots too!
