Jess & Donny’s Sunny Wedding on the Beach | Lewes and Rehoboth DE Wedding Photographer
How do I even begin?! Last month I had the best reason to find myself on the beach in Lewes DE on one of the most beautiful days of the summer… Jess & Donny’s wedding! What an absolutely incredible day! They shared their vows in an intimate, short and sweet ceremony on the beach & even had the cutest “confetti” of mini beach balls for the guests to throw! It won’t take long to see what a happy couple these two are – they love to laugh and smile and it is incredibly contagious! I was cracking up laughing with the guys before hand – everyone was so welcoming and excited for this wonderful day :) I am SO thrilled to be sharing this beautiful wedding with you all!
Ha! I like to imagine that all best men feel this way about holding the rings ;)
Such a great reaction to first seeing Jess! :)
Officially husband & wife! LOVE the mini beach balls (even if a few smacked you two a bit haha!)
OH MY GOODNESS. Jess, you are SO stunning! What a beautiful smile and laugh! I just love these portraits we grabbed! :)
Definitely one of the most fun and energetic bridal parties! Love this group! Check out this backflip action!!!
So happy we could take photos of the girls by the water, I love these!
& now, for some of my very favorite photos of Jess & Donny. There are a LOT! Everything about these two, especially on the beach, just screams romance :)
Seriously I think I’m speechless. Just too perfect.
We took a short drive over to Irish Eyes Restaurant, where the reception was held on the top floor with some beautiful views of the sun setting over the water! I couldn’t get enough of this place!
& How adorable are all the coral details, the seating chart, the cake – so great!
Entrances are not complete without more gymnastics! ;)
If you look closely you can see one of Donny’s groomsmen signaling the hug! :)
Okay I told you I loved this porch and view, so grateful to sneak these two away for a bit to catch this absolutely perfect sunset.
Their toasts were incredibly sweet and heart felt. Donny’s brother and best man gave such a moving speech… while their mother had passed away when they were kids, he wanted to remind each other that they are lucky because they both now have someone (their wives) that helps to complete them. Definitely not a dry eye in the place (including my own)… So touched by so much love and support.
To start things back up on the dance floor, these two played a hilarious game of Shoe-ly Weds! Answering questions about who does what via their shoes!
Yep! That’s me sneaking into a photo! :) Oh hey there past brides & grooms! Or as I affectionately refer to this image, me hanging out with the Joneses! <3 So grateful to this bunch for connecting me to Jess & Donny!
Ah, Everyone clearly had such an amazing time! I absolutely loved being a part of it all – thank you two for allowing me to capture & celebrate such a fantastic day! Congratulations Jess & Donny!!
