Everyone was hustling around The Great Oak Manor trying to get ready, and HE wanted to come in the room…IN THE ROOM?! The girls gasped as they tried to figure out why he wanted to come in the room where she was getting ready. Don’t you know you’re not supposed to see the bride before she walks down the aisle, the girls said. He knodded, I know, but I need to tell her something.
Karen scrambled into the nearby powder room around the corner. She stood behind the wall nervously giggling while trying to contain the bottom tulle part of her dress making sure he couldn’t see any part of it. Chad made his way in the room and peeked around the first doorway with his eyes closed. Karen…I just wanted to tell you that I love you. As if the smile on her face wasn’t beaming brightly enough, she lit up and took a big deep breath, I love you too Chad, see you SOON!
Karen and Chad, thank you so much for waiting so patiently for this post. You two are an amazing couple with energy like I have never seen before. It seems as if your love beams out every blink and inch of smile, because it just can’t be contained inside. I feel so blessed to have been able to photograph your wedding, and witness not just the beginning of your lives as husband and wife, but a continuation of your devoted love. Thank you to all your wonderful friends and family for making it such an awesome day. Love, Megan Beth
Karen’s dress was so elegant and sophisticated.
No peeking.
Wow, work it girl!
Karen, you look absolutely stunning.
Karen and Chad did some major researching and timeline planning to make time for their own little photo shoots. They found this old rustic barn down the street in Chestertown, and it made the perfect backdrop for some amazing images.
The donkey and goat DID NOT want to miss out on the photo sesh with the gorgeous bride and bridesmaides.
Chad looked quite handsome as well!
I had an idea…I asked Chad what he thought… and really, how awesome is this?!
Then we headed to the Chestertown Marina with the groomsmen.
The cermony took place on the back lawn of The Great Oak Manor, which sits on the Chesapeake Bay in Chestertown, Maryland. With breathtaking views of the bay and the sun setting, it was a perfect spot.
This bridal party was seriously SO MUCH FUN.
One of my favorites from the day!
There are so many amazing little nooks and corners around the Great Oak Manor to shoot.
This is my top favorite reception detail image. Ever. Golden sun on the mason jars, gah, I love it.
Really though, it’s all in the details, and they rocked them.
The lighting was amazing, made for a perfect first dance.
