When Kevin contacted me about photographing his upcoming wedding I was so excited!  The couple was going to be married in the brand new Coastal Community Church building and celebrating afterwards at a private residence in Bishopville, MD.   I learned that they were only the third couple to ever be married at the new property.  There was a bubble exit celebration as they exited the church and got ready to go to the reception held at a friend's private home in Bishopville, MD.  There were a lot of personal touches around the reception including the groom's helmet and gorgeous sunflower arrangements.  Guests danced and partied to the musical stylings of DJ Spinz and their kids got to enjoy the outdoor bouncy house in the shape of a Firehouse.  Congratulations Kevin & Tracy, we wish you a lifetime of happiness.

I couldn't wait for Elissa and Bill's wedding at the Dunes Manor Hotel.  Having met them in the studio and spent some time with Elissa, I was very excited for their wedding plans.  The bride had a hankie tucked away that was made from her mother's wedding gown and a penny in her shoe for good fortune.  The ceremony was originally to be held on the deck of the Hotel but high winds moved us indoors for an indoor light and airy ceremony by the foggy sea.  After the ceremony and portraits, guests partied hard in the ballroom kicking things off with a very cool dance train of all the ladies taking turns dancing through circle on the dance floor.  One of my favorite touches of the reception in addition to the cake that was just dreamy and beautiful was the wedding day portraits of both the bride and groom's parents next to the cake.  What a special unique touch to their cake table!  Bill surprised Elissa with quite a nice dance to Genuine's "Pony" for the garter toss before we snuck out for a few nighttime images in front of the sunset and the Ocean.  Congratulations Elissa and Bill, we wish you a lifetime of happiness together!
