It started raining the day before Molly + Joe’s wedding, and it just kept raining for 48 hrs straight… which meant a few more tented walls than expected and a first look under cover thanks to the upper balcony at the Kent Island Resort. Despite this, their faces and embraces say it all.

Molly and Joe both have families that are so incredibly kind, warm, loving and thoughtful. It’s no surprise that their wedding day was full of so much classic beauty and genuine joy! Enjoy these early favorites from their wedding at the Kent Island Resort; this historic manor house provided a perfect backdrop of both countryside charm and understated elegance.

7 UNFORGETTABLE DETAILS AND MOMENTS FROM M+J’S KENT ISLAND RESORT WEDDING:

1. The invitation design with the sweetest details: a blue heron on the reply card and a map of the Chesapeake Bay as the inner envelope liner

2. Molly’s family dogs joined at the waterfront home where she got ready in the morning — they were gentle giants that added such a calming presence and lots of smiles!

3. Their portraits in the rain are some of my favorites of all-time. Why? They were so willing to embrace it and do whatever it takes to get great photos; we also had lots of time to be creative inside the beautiful front room of the manor!

4. Molly’s brother was her man of honor and Joe’s dad was his best man… the actual sweetest. Who says your ‘wedding party’ has to be traditional?

5. The seating chart was an enormous display of oysters and names that said “hope you have a great shucking time” 😉

6. The dance floor was packed all night… Polaris put on quite the performance!

7. The tent from Eastern Shore Tents was unlike any I’ve seen before… it had clear sides and the most beautiful wood structure above, draped with sheer white fabric and perfectly modern yet romantic chandeliers adding sparkle to the space as it got dark.

Congratulations again, newlyweds!! I’m so excited to see what lies ahead for you both as doctors and overall wonderful humans! So grateful and honored to continue to be a part of your family’s celebrations…

Naomi
