After all, that side of the Chesapeake Bay is gorgeous and fills up every summer with tourists looking to enjoy the natural beauty. A lot of the most sought-after Eastern Shore wedding locations are close to the water \u2013 for obvious reasons! But it\u2019s also not hard to find awesome venues farther inland. A great example is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wardmuseum.org\/about-the-museum\/facility-rentals\/adult-workshops-opportunities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art<\/a> in Salisbury MD. We recently had the pleasure to document Thea and Danny\u2019s marriage celebrations at that Eastern Shore wedding location. And we loved how unique it was! The Ward Museum seamlessly marries a quirky vibe with the natural beauty of the Eastern Shore. That made it a perfect fit for Thea and Danny, and the perfect backdrop for unforgettable wedding photos!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art: A Unique Eastern Shore Wedding Location<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what is it that makes the Ward Museum such a special wedding venue? Partly, it\u2019s the location\u2019s history and reason for being. As the name suggests, the museum preserves and promotes wildfowl art. More specifically, it initially came into existence in 1968 to recognize the work of Lem and Steve Ward. These brothers were famous wildfowl decoy carvers, Eastern Shore institutions and the museum\u2019s namesakes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the beginning, the Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art lived on the campus of nearby Salisbury University. Eventually, though, the museum grew too large for its \u201chouse.\u201d And in 1992, it moved to a new facility on the banks of Schumaker Pond.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what do you get when you combine a facility dedicated to celebrating a very unique part of the Eastern Shore\u2019s history with a woodsy setting whose natural beauty rivals that of any wedding venue in the DMV? A one-of-a-kind location that is going to give your marriage celebration a look and feel like no one else\u2019s!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting Ready for an Eastern Shore Wedding in Salisbury MD<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re pretty sure that untraditional mix is what attracted Thea and Danny to the Ward Museum. We had gotten to know the couple several months before. They came to DC for an engagement session at <a href=\"https:\/\/gardens.si.edu\/gardens\/haupt-garden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Enid A. Haupt<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sifacilities.si.edu\/garden\/mary-livingston-ripley-garden\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mary Livingston Ripley Gardens<\/a> near the Smithsonian Castle. And even in that short time, we could tell that they were not people who do things that others think they should. Thea and Danny are true to themselves, and not surprisingly, their wedding (and wedding venue) were a reflection of who they are and what makes their relationship unique.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though most of their wedding took place at the Ward Museum, Thea and Danny\u2019s day actually started elsewhere. The bride got ready at their house in Salisbury, whereas the groom prepped for the wedding at a friend\u2019s home not far away. Accompanying Thea and Danny were just their siblings and closest friends. That made the atmosphere at both locations intimate and comfortable. The bride in particular laughed and joked constantly with the women who kept her company as she had her hair and makeup done.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The highlight of that part of Thea and Danny\u2019s day for us, though, was getting to take pictures of their three adorable cats. We\u2019re cat parents ourselves, so when the couple told us to make sure to get lots of shots of theirs, you know we didn\u2019t hesitate! And even in just the couple of hours we were there, we got the full range of cat experiences. One investigated everything the makeup artist was doing. Another eyed everyone nervously and skittered away at the first movement. And the last slept peacefully in a sunbeam the entire time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4218\"

and Wedding Portraits by Schumaker Pond<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shortly after the bride and groom arrived at the Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art, they shared a lovely first look on a deck looking out over Schumaker Pond. That body of water is the central feature of the property on which the wedding venue sits. It is absolutely gorgeous, particularly in the autumn. The trees on its banks change color, and their reflections in the pond are stunning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Naturally, we made great use of that beautiful setting when we took wedding portraits of Thea and Danny. We brought them on a lap around Schumaker Pond along a lovely trail through the trees. From time to time, we stopped to take pictures of the couple. We started with some very romantic closeup shots of them by the water\u2019s edge. Then we brought them to a spot where the path came very close to the pond. This was a perfect place for a wider shot of Thea and Danny with the trees and water around them. (And of some cute geese as well!) Finally, when we got around to the far side of Schumaker Pond, we created some gorgeous portraits of them with the Ward Museum in the background.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"

Museum of Wildfowl Art Wedding Ceremony<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once Thea and Danny\u2019s wedding portraits and family formals were complete, all of the guests took their seats on the expansive lawn between the Ward Museum and the pond. That was the site of the couple\u2019s wedding ceremony. And they could not have asked for a more beautiful setting for it!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The exchange of vows and rings was relatively short. But it was very sweet, often funny and surprisingly emotional. The couple talked about what drew them together in the beginning. But more importantly, they talked about what sustains their love for each other. As a married couple ourselves, we very much appreciated their perspective on the mature love of nuptial life. Thea pointed out that just like good Texas barbecue, \u201clow and slow\u201d is always best.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our favorite photos from the wedding ceremony, though, weren\u2019t of the couple. At least not specifically of them. Both the parents of the bride and the parents of the groom got emotional at various points during the ceremony. And we managed to capture images of them wiping away tears, sometimes with the couple in the foreground. We\u2019re particularly proud, though, of the ones we got of Danny\u2019s father. The groom had specifically asked us to get pictures of his dad showing emotion, and we were thrilled to be able to deliver some to him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

400;\">Wedding Reception on Maryland\u2019s Eastern Shore<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After an outdoor cocktail hour that very much felt like a gathering of good friends, the wedding reconvened inside the Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art. The site of Thea and Danny\u2019s reception was the John A. Luetkemeyer and Thomas F. Mullan Jr. Legacy Center. This unique room is a fantastic spot for a post-ceremony wedding celebration. At 2200 square feet, it offers plenty of space for a good dozen dinner tables while still leaving room for a nice dance floor. It is also equipped with two 80-inch screens and a sound system with wireless microphones. The real selling point, though, is the view out of the massive windows that make up one wall. You get a great look at Schumaker Pond, the trees all around and on some evenings, gorgeous sunsets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a brief welcome speech and dinner, the couple took a lap around the room to chat a bit with their guests. Then they went out of the room and made their \u201cgrand entrance\u201d into the Legacy Center. Thea and Danny went straight out into the middle of the room for their first dance. We knew that the newlyweds were accomplished swing dancers from their engagement session, when we got lots of awesome pictures of them showing off their moves. So we weren\u2019t surprised that their first dance was quite the show.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What we didn\u2019t expect, though, was for the entire dance floor to fill up with couples who could have been professional dancers. It turned out that many of the guests were part of the same dance class that Thea and Danny took. So we can say without hyperbole that this was one of the best collections of dancers we\u2019ve ever photographed!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full
