Melissa & Jeff | Chesapeake Bay Beach Club Wedding

May 2, 2012 | Posted in Weddings

There are few words to describe the excitement and overwhelming joy that we shared in together as two soul mates said their vows overlooking the Chesapeake Bay! Melissa and Jeff’s Wedding was absolutely incredible! We began the day with the girls at the Hilton Garden Inn in Kent Narrows and soon after made our way to the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club for the outdoor ceremony and reception!

The day started with quiet anticipation and ended in laughter and cheers – with more memories captured than I could possibly share in a single blog post!  Much gratitude is owed to my talented second shooter, Krista A. Jones, and the entire staff at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club for making this wedding truly a spectacular celebration!

Without further ado, a few of my favorites from Melissa & Jeff’s Wedding!

I was absolutely blown away by the gorgeous details that Melissa made for her reception. Bottles wrapped in twine, painted picture frame table numbers, accents of burlap with lace, and favors placed on each guests’s seat. The stunning flowers were designed by Julie at Little House of Flowers and fit Melissa’s vision of Country Chic perfectly!
