The hour may be early, but the golden light of morning makes a sunrise beach elopement as magical as it gets! Sarah Aaron Photography and Jessica Jenelle Events were up before dawn to put the finishing touches on this intimate and artistic intimate wedding inspiration at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, with stunning beach-inspired flowers by House of Redman and an airy off the shoulder wedding dress by Madison James! The dusty blue and airy white color scheme was inspired by the sea, sky, and sand, and organic elements from seed pods to palm fronds added a touch of nature to the stunning decor!
