A North Shore Wedding Celebration {chelsea & greg}

Chelsea and Greg’s affection for literature was the springboard to inspiration that every wedding needs. Maybe it’s the romance of letting your mind transport to new places or perhaps the endless possibilities of new paths you can reach within written word that captivates us. Regardless of what the reasons are, who doesn’t love a great story filled with glorious detail!? Chelsea took her vision and teamed up with the creative talent of  Sash & Bow to make her love of all things books and birdies memorable for every guest {just look at the hand created birdie place cards}.

Enjoy, and when you’re looking for a little inspiration to guide your wedding plans, look within. Where do you shop? What colors fill your closet? What is your go-to brand for fabulous home decor? Where do you enjoy hanging out with the love of your life? What savory and sweets do you crave most? The answers to these questions will surely guide you to the perfect celebration for the union of two.


Chelsea was such a beautiful bride. It’s an incredible feeling to step into your wedding dress the day of your wedding knowing THIS IS IT!


The handsome groom:

Pulling off a serious look isn’t as easy as it looks!

Greg was so giddy to see his bride walk down the aisle. The look he flashed his brother and best man says it all!

And talk about an emotional wedding! Chelsea’s brother was so happy for her!

I think Chelsea got a little excited herself 🙂

One of my favorites from the ceremony.

A welcome kiss from Greg’s mother.

Hands.

A fun little wedding party photo including a cool summer breeze.


And start the details. Chelsea’s English Major played a big role in directing their wedding theme. She had a photo booth for her guests (a must have!) and had them type up a little well wishes card for their Guest Book.

North Shore Golf Course always does an amazing job of presenting a wedding. The lighting is superb, food amazing and Mike makes you feel like family.



Chelsea’s beloved cake topper birds… adorable!

And my favorite part of the day… spending a little romantic time with the newly wed couple and creating their works of art.








If you have your photographer around at sunset PLEASE make it a point to go enjoy your sunset. It’s the most beautiful time of day and will be a bit of alone time for you to enjoy. You will not regret it.



I love photographing First Dances, especially at North Shore. So romantic and everything a wedding should be.
