waterside Wedding with elegant and classic details


When Roxanne and Nate told me some of the details they had planned for their wedding I knew it would be classic, simple, and elegant. From her strapless silk wedding gown to her bouquet of white peonies to the venue they chose, every detail was absolute perfection. When the day finally rolled around the only thing that wasn't perfect was the weather, but we were able to take advantage of various spaces at The Lesner Inn to stay dry and still capture gorgeous portraits!


I spent the first hour of the day with Roxanne at her oceanfront hotel to photograph details. It was an actual dream for me because she had everything ready for me and every detail item was stunning. Even the way they chose to incorporate their cats, Poe and Neptune, into their wedding day details was so classy - Roxanne had little charms made with their cats' faces and names and then attached the charms to her bouquet.

The rain and mist kept us from having the typical stunning backdrop of the waterside venue, but that didn't take away from the beauty of Roxanne and Nathaniel's ceremony. Roxanne's brother was their officiant and Nathaniel's brother provided the music. I love when family and friends have important roles in a wedding ceremony aside from being part of the bridal party because it makes it so much more personalized and usually leads to more laughter (and occasionally tears of happiness)!

After the ceremony we headed upstairs to the sunset deck for portraits while Roxanne and Nathaniel's guests enjoyed cocktail hour. Luckily the rain stopped before we went upstairs so we only had to avoid a couple wet spots on the deck while we moved around for photos. When we wrapped those up we all went back downstairs to have some incredible food and celebrate the beautiful couple!

Congratulations to Roxanne and Nate!


Congratulations on your beautiful and classic waterside wedding, Roxanne and Nathaniel! Wishing you a lifetime of love, adventures, and cats! Thank you for trusting me to photograph your special day.
