Set on the Eastern Shore of Maryland on the banks of the Wye River, Lyndsey and John hosted a romantic and organic Wedding celebration that was filled with dreamy nautical beauty. This stunning couple, from New Jersey, chose to say “I Do” at Lyndsey’s summer home… and it was filled with style and charm.

Lyndsey’s ladies wore dreamy sea tones, and the gentlemen wore navy blue.  The divine florals from Seaberry Farms featured Cafe’ Au Lait Dahlias… that were to die for! Of course the groom looked remarkable in his blue suite, but Lynsey’s illusion back gown was the show stopper with it’s graceful white sequence detailing.

Watching Lyndsey and John in this epic moment of their love story was such a joy and an honor. Their wedding day was overflowing with the excitement of surrounding family and friends. But no doubt the pinnacle of the day was when the brand new Mr & Mrs Budesa boarded the Harmony and whisked away for a few intimate moments on the water. The “Just Married” boat ride took them out to the Bennett Point Lighthouse just as the sun was setting. It was incredibly lovely, but Lyndsey and Johns love completely eclipsed its glory.

Congratulations John & Lyndsey… May your marriage flourish for a lifetime!!!

{From the Bride} John and I met about 5 years ago when I started working at the same company as him. Fast forward 2 years to June 2012 and a trip to Atlantic City with work friends. A little flirting and liquid courage led to our first kiss; our first date followed a few days later. After 2 spectacular dates, I came up with a handful of ridiculous reason why it would never work and decided I wasn’t quite ready for all the amazingness John had to offer (what was I thinking??). Its a good thing he’s patient! Months later at a Christmas party my then roommate convinced me I was crazy and that I needed to give him another chance. John claims he knew I was the one from our very first date and waited patiently until I was ready. December 29, 2012 was our “second first date” and we’ve been happily in love ever since. John and I compliment each other so perfectly that we both knew very early on the we were meant for each other. I was ready for an engagement a year into our relationship but in true John fashion he took his time and waited for the perfect moment to propose. On December 16, 2015 in front of my family John got down on one knee at 4000+ ft. elevation at the top of a mountain and asked me to marry him. It was magical, perfect and everything I could have asked for. We could not be more excited for our life together!
