Chic Glamour on the Miles for Courtney & Mike’s Wedding Weekend | Part 1

March 9, 2026

Shelby Darling Photography has brought us another stunning wedding weekend, and we are so excited to share this two-part double feature of Courtney & Mike’s chic waterfront celebration on the Miles River.

Kicking off the weekend in style, Courtney looked nothing less than fabulous in a truly alluring white satin dress with a pearl embodied statement purse. Dapper at her side, Mike made his first appearance as almost-husband in a neutral but ever-snazzy sport coat to beautifully compliment his bride’s soigné moment as they approached the big moment.

Courtney and Mike welcomed family friends with a picturesque evening on the riverside, graced with perfect weather and views of blues and boats. The soon to be newlyweds and their guests shared hugs and laughter as the festivities began for a weekend filled with so much love, and the most ravishing wedding details.

My journey with My Eastern Shore Wedding began back in my high school and college years as a creative intern, where I absolutely fell in love with the boundless creativity the wedding industry offers. Over the years, I moved into roles as a community manager and Media Director, and each position deepened my appreciation for the artistry and joy that weddings bring. Now, as the Owner and Editor in Chief, I feel so honored to keep celebrating the beauty of the Eastern Shore, both as my home and as a stunning wedding venue. It's a joy to inspire others as they plan their dream days. For me, the true beauty of this work lies in being part of those moments of pure happiness and helping create lasting memories for couples on their special day.
