I first met Melissa, a vibrant spirit with gorgeous flowing brunette locks, over a year ago at her sister’s wedding.

And now it’s Melissa’s turn to say I DO this year to her best friend, Steve. They will be getting married at The Inn at Perry Cabin in St. Michaels, Maryland.

Because their wedding is along the beautiful Chesapeake Bay, they also wanted a nautical setting for their engagement session. So we met in Lewes, Delaware, for their engagement session, strolling along historic 2nd Street and the picturesque canal. We then ventured down to Lewes Beach during sunset.

These two fit like a favorite pair of comfortable jeans. The way Melissa snuggles into Steve; he is her safe place. You can tell they truly admire and adore each other.

I can’t wait for September to roll around to photograph these two again! Congratulations Melissa and Steve!
