From Megan Harris Photography… When I first got on the phone with Jessica she had just gotten engaged 2 weeks prior with Ryan taking her to Montreal as a surprise “engagement moon”. It was an absolutely perfect trip since Jessica describes herself as a huge Francophile. When she talked about her perfect wedding to me she mentioned a minimal, chic, and fun event for them to celebrate their love with all their closest family and friends, but it must end with fireworks! When creating their inspiration packet to kick off the planning process, the words used at the top were “Casual Luxe, Romantic, Minimal Modern, Greenery”, and I think the final result was just that! 





The color palette was to be neutrals, greenery, black, and mixed metals. The ceremony overlooked the Chesapeake Bay with a minimal yet modern floral design for the “altar”, the perfect place for these two to say their “I dos”. Moving on to the cocktail hour, the guests were able to enjoy drinks and hors d’oeuvre on the lawn while admiring Great Oak Manor and the waterfront view. As we headed into the perfectly designed tent, the couple shared their first dance and poured the top glass of a champagne tower to really kicked off the evening!





Everything from the elegant tablescape design, decor elements, baby’s breath floral cloud over the dance floor, and more created a perfect aesthetic for their wedding day. And of course, the evening ended with an epic fireworks show for everyone to enjoy over the Chesapeake Bay!
