An incredible evening at the Clarion in Ocean City, MD.   The couple was married on the beach amidst friends and family.  The bride's mom and sister did the flowers for the grand affair and Alison with Alison to the Altar helped bring the bride's vision to life with beautiful hues of blush and Burgundy incorporating some of the most beautiful flower arrangements I have seen yet.  The couple enjoyed a few intimate minutes back on the beach just past sunset before rejoining the party and celebrating with their first dance and family dance incorporating their children.  Congratulations Arthur & Melanie, we wish you a lifetime of happiness!

Such a beautiful wedding venue.  The girls got ready in the cottage just behind the house where they enjoyed a private space surrounded by a lush garden of green leaves and exotic flowers.  The back of the house gave a picturesque backdrop for the first look with dad and portraits with the bride's ladies.

The ceremony was held near the trees overlooking the beautiful pond and greenhouse.  My favorite part of the ceremony was when the grandparents came forward and read words of advice to the couple before dropping cards into their box containing messages from loved ones.  The ceremony concluded and the couple took photos with family under the tree before joining their bridal party in front of the water and finally concluding portraits alone near the greenhouse and backyard gardens.

The party picked up back at the barn where guests enjoyed stationed meals prepared by the deliciously charming Liquid Assets Catering Company and enough dancing to raise the roof.  The couple snuck outside for a quick post sunset portrait and rejoined the soiree partying like rockstars.  Congratulations Matt & Lauren, we wish you a lifetime of happiness!
