Megan and David’s summer wedding at The Barn at Bay Horse Inn was so elegantly curated. The day was filled with laughter, love, and a touch of sophistication that perfectly suited their classic black tie look. As I arrived at the venue, I was instantly captivated by its bright and airy charm, surrounded by lush greenery and landscaping that provided a stunning backdrop for the day’s festivities. The bride was an absolute vision in her satin off-the-shoulder gown, with dramatic train and sweetheart neckline that added a romantic touch to her look. Her bouquet, mostly neutral with just the right hint of blush, complemented her look effortlessly.

The wedding party was equally stunning, with the bridesmaids in deep green dresses that beautifully contrasted the black suits worn by the groomsmen. The combination was both timeless and modern, adding to the sophisticated feel of the day.

As the sun began to set, the entire property seemed to glow with the warmth of the summer evening, and it was clear that Megan and David’s friends new how to get down! From the handwritten vows to the joyful first dance to the sparkler exit, every moment was filled with absolute joy radiating from the couple and their family and friends.

To the newlyweds, Mr & Mrs Beardmore,

It has been an honor to capture this season of your lives! Your joy and warmth is so contagious and it’s clear that everyone in your circle (including me!) is rooting for you and your marriage. I smiled the entire time working through your previews and I hope they bring you as much joy as they have to me! Enjoy some of my favorites from your day and soak in that Hawaiian sun for me!

    Courtney and her assistant were absolutely wonderful! As Mother of the Bride, both these young ladies went out of their way to capture the special moments surrounding Megan and David’s wedding day. They moved about the venue without notice. We could not have chosen anyone better. Thank you ladies for capturing many beautiful moments and the kindness and patience you displayed. You’re the best!
