Erin & Michael | East Coast Elegance at Laurel Hall

Erin and Michael’s wedding day was the perfect blend of timeless tradition and breezy East Coast charm. The day began in the most sentimental way — Erin getting ready at her parents’ home, surrounded by her bridal party. When I stopped by to check in on Erin that morning, I was greeted with laughter, anticipation, and the gentle rhythm of hair and makeup artistry filling the rooms — setting the tone for a celebration that would be both heartfelt and joy-filled.

Their ceremony at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church was a beautiful and traditional Catholic Mass, filled with reverence and celebration . The couple’s young niece and nephew took on the important roles of flower girl and ring bearer, adding the sweetest touch to the processional. Following the Mass, the couple shared a quiet, heartfelt moment together in the church’s courtyard garden, where they read private vows — an intimate promise just between the two of them before the celebration began.

Guests then made their way to Laurel Hall for an unforgettable evening under the May sky.

With a vision inspired by the classic elegance of the East Coast, Erin worked closely with her mom, Mary Claire, to bring every detail to life. Crisp blue-and-white accents, lush hydrangeas, and thoughtful monogrammed touches by Interprintations set a refined yet welcoming scene. Proceeding cocktail hour, Erin and Michael made a lively entrance with members of The Living Proof Band leading the way — tambourines in hand for each guest to join the fun.

Dinner was served al fresco on the terrace, where guests dined at tables adorned with soft candlelight, silver & rattan accents, and delicate blue patterned linens. As the sun set, the patio glowed with string lights, and the celebration continued well into the night with the Living Proof Band keeping the dance floor full inside. Every beautiful moment was captured with artistry and grace by Kassidy Ilayne Studios, ensuring Erin and Michael’s joyful day will be treasured for years to come.

Erin, Michael, and Mary Claire — thank you for trusting me with such a meaningful and special day. It was a privilege to play a role in bringing your vision to life and to witness the love and happiness that surrounded you at every turn… and every tambourine tap.
