Animal lovers rejoice… there is so much puppy love tucked inside this nautical Maryland affair coordinated by Rebecca Thomas Events. Held at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, it boasts water views, a cameo by some really gorgeous boats and the prettiest tented celebration captured by Lauren R Swann Photography. Head to the gallery for so much more!
As much as this wonderful couples was at the forefront of the day, their sweet pup Denny shared the spotlight, too! He greeted guests to his parents’ wedding on their way to find their seats, and even took a comfy little snooze as they exchanged vows!
There were also nods to Denny in the groomsmen’s bow ties, and the escort display. As such an important part of their lives together, it only made sense for him to have his paw prints throughout the day, too!
Greg and Melanie are one of the most gracious and kind couples I’ve ever met. They love each other so clearly! One of my favorite moments of the day was watching Greg as Melanie made her way down the aisle.
He couldn’t help but let a few tears fall, and his brother (their wonderful officiant) leaned over to see if she got him ;) It was such a sweet moment and such a testament to the connection these two have. The ceremony photos and all of the moments in between are the perfect showcase of that!
Plus, I think we can all agree that Melanie has incredible taste — her gown is literally a stunner! Especially paired with her veil and her grandmother’s vintage ring. She got to have a tiny piece with her of a woman that meant so much to her on her wedding day. All throughout the day, Melanie planned details coordinated to the tee and made her guests feel so special! She even surprised Greg with a surprise sail for he and the guys before the wedding, so they could all arrive by boat!!
To say this day was perfection is a bit of an understatement. Without a single thing out of place, Greg and Melanie’s chic and relaxed wedding by the bay is an easy favorite.
