Lisa & Scott | Wedding at Chatham Bars Inn

Lisa and Scott were married on July 14th and I am excited to say that we now share an anniversary! Their intimate ceremony and reception, took place at the beautiful Chatham Bars Inn, and over the course of their day, they had many different types of weather! The day started out sunny and hot, and by the end of the evening, we had experienced some cloudiness, sprinkling, and downpours – that weren’t even in the forecast!  Regardless of the unforeseen weather, nothing could dampen the celebration!chatham-bars-inn-wedding-cape-cod-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography14287 chatham-bars-inn-wedding-cape-cod-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography14288chatham-bars-inn-wedding-cape-cod-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography14289 chatham-bars-inn-wedding-cape-cod-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography14290 chatham-bars-inn-wedding-cape-cod-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography14291 chatham-bars-inn-wedding-cape-cod-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography14292chatham-bars-inn-wedding-cape-cod-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography14294 While the girls were inside the house getting ready, the guys were outside in the garage working on how to tie a bow-tie – it is trickier than you may think;)!chatham-bars-inn-wedding-cape-cod-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography14295 chatham-bars-inn-wedding-cape-cod-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography14296 chatham-bars-inn-wedding-cape-cod-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography14297 chatham-bars-inn-wedding-cape-cod-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography14298 Lisa’s daughter is only 5 and such a big helper (and hugger:)…very cute! chatham-bars-inn-wedding-cape-cod-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography14299 chatham-bars-inn-wedding-cape-cod-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography14300 chatham-bars-inn-wedding-cape-cod-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography14301 chatham-bars-inn-wedding-cape-cod-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography14302 chatham-bars-inn-wedding-cape-cod-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography14303 chatham-bars-inn-wedding-cape-cod-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography14304 chatham-bars-inn-wedding-cape-cod-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography14305 chatham-bars-inn-wedding-cape-cod-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography14306 As I left the house, I couldn’t help but snap a photo of Scott wrapping up in the garage!chatham-bars-inn-wedding-cape-cod-wedding-photographer-heather-chick-photography14308When I arrived at the Boat House, it was already looking great!

Bride/Groom Questions

What was the most memorable moment of your day?

Definitely seeing each other for the first time! (Lisa) All of my nerves disappeared and I was totally relaxed.

What was your favorite detail?

I love that we had a color scheme that played throughout. For example, my Mom made the navy/white table runners, which matched the ribbon on the cake. We then added mint green, pinks and blues.

Any advice for future brides/grooms?

Make sure you stop and take the time to see every detail that you planned. It is the best, but shortest day of your life!

Funniest memory from your wedding day?

Attempting to make it to the boat dock 3 times, and each time the sky opened! Luckily we made it and i’m sure the pictures are awesome!

If you could do it all over, would you change anything?
Married Scott sooner 😉

Where did you go on your honeymoon?

We had a week in the Cape with our family and friends but our honeymoon is in the fall.
