I’m a country girl at heart. I love small towns, country music and home cooked meals, which is why I couldn’t help but love every detail of Melissa and Joe’s wedding. From the fireball tucked in the girls’ cowboy boots to a first dance song by George Strait, this wedding was country to the core. So put on a song with a little twang, sit back and enjoy a glimpse of Melissa and Joe’s wedding.

Many talented vendors contributed to this day including: Mary’s Hope on Church Cove, ceremony venue; Bay District Volunteer Fire Department, reception venue; Rita B’s Catering, catering; Crow Entertainment, DJ, photo booth and uplighting; Simply Cakelicious, cake; Zinnia Films, videographer; Bokay’s Florist, flowers; Waldorf Printing and Engraving, invitations; It’s a Celebration, decorating; Illusions II, hair; Casey Browning, make up; J.O. Spice Company, favors; and Jill Christine Design & Photography, photography.

In addition to dancing with her dad, Melissa danced with her grandfather to Grandpa (Tell Me ’bout the Good Ole Days) by The Judds. It was such a sweet moment.

Mary’s Hope on Church Cove Wedding

It’s been said that rain on your wedding day is a sign of good luck. I’ve uttered these same words a time or two to my own brides over the years to help ease their anxiety about uncertain weather. But regardless of what we might say, if you have your heart set on outdoor photos, the rain can seem more like an unlucky break.

Since this was the case for Tiara and Josh, who married last September on a very rainy day, they decided to do it again! After nine months of marriage, they suited back up in their wedding attire for the outdoor photos they wanted. Since I don’t know many brides who get to wear their wedding dress twice in less than a year, I suppose you could say that Tiara’s pretty lucky after all!

I thought it might be nice to post something a little different today. It’s not every day that I get to work with our furry friends, which is why it was fun to photograph Bandit. With just the right amount of snacks, he did great! He’s such a lucky dog to have a wonderful owner and I’m so glad they’ll have these pictures of him to enjoy.

A gorgeous waterfront view, cocktails by the pool, a talented band with guests that knew how to dance (the old fashioned way), and bow ties of course, made for an elegant, classic wedding. Sunny skies graced us during the ceremony, while rain poured down later in the evening. But under the tent, you hardly noticed as Kate and Matt enjoyed the moment and danced the night away.

The following vendors contributed to this beautiful Southern Maryland waterfront wedding: Maryland Country Caterers, catering; The Original Moonlighters, band: Ingrid Anderson, flowers; and Elite Beatz, tent. The wedding was held at the family’s home.
