chesapeake inn wedding – jenn + colin

an elegant riverfront reception

“Darling You and Me,
We can take the world.”

– johnnyswim

Jenn & Colin are married! I had the ultimate pleasure of meeting the pair a few years back when they were guests at a wedding I was photographing, and since then, I’ve been lucky enough to photograph them at many more weddings in 5 different states – culminating with their own! Jenn & Colin’s day was perfectly “them,” effortlessly melding cool, classic elegance with warmth and fun. Jenn wore many items of sentimental significance, from her family’s heirloom pearls and jewelry designed by her best friend to the lace bolero jacket her mother wore for her wedding. Their cake was even made by one of her maids of honor – complete with their sweet golden retriever Lucy making a cameo! The cool, crisp November air of the Chesapeake perfectly complemented the bridal party’s sleek all-black look, and Colin’s reception shoes tied the posh-meets-party vibe together seamlessly. Jenn & Colin, it has been such a joyful journey with you over the past few years, and I’m forever grateful that our paths have crossed! Here’s to many starry nights in your beautiful future as husband and wife!
