Longwood Gardens Summer Engagement

Jessica + Christopher

Summer Longwood Gardens Engagement Session

Longwood, PA

08.15.2019

Jessica & Christopher decided to do a late summer engagement session at Longwood Gardens which makes for the prettiest romantic background for your engagement photos! We LOVE doing engagement sessions with couples as a way to get to know them and we know from feedback from other couples that having the experience gives them so much confidence for their wedding day. This session was extra special as both myself and my associate photographer Michelle were there.

Checkout how fabulous Jessica’s gown is. We especially love it when couples dress up for their sessions. It’s like a trial run for your wedding day. We are thrilled to be working with Jessica & Christopher for their big celebration at Greenville Country Club in 2020!

Hotel DuPont Wedding

Brett + Matt

Hotel DuPont Wedding

Wilmington, Delaware

08.10.2019

Brett and Matt were married on a perfect summer day in the elegant and classy Hotel DuPont. We love all beautiful floral designs created by RAM Floral. Brett and Matt’s ceremony was held in the charming du Barry room under a gorgeous chuppa. We love using the front entry way into the hotel for formals, where it’s bright and has a timeless appeal, there’s always a breeze and it’s shady to keep guest cool. The reception was in the stunning Gold Ballroom, which is a guest favorite. It never grows old hearing the guest sigh out loud and ooh and ah in response to the beauty of the space when they open the doors to the ballroom. The Hotel DuPont is the perfect place for elegant summer wedding.

Winterthur Summer Garden Wedding

Monica + Andrew

Winterthur Museum & Garden Wedding

Winterthur, Delaware

06.20.2019

Monica and Andrew were married on the hottest day of the year in the our favorite garden at Winterthur Museum and Garden. We love the stone wall in this enchanting sunken garden, nestled next to the Reflecting Pool. It makes for the perfect space as a backdrop for a wedding ceremony. Check out how beautiful everyone looked even though it was a pressure cooker day of a day. We love a wedding at Winterthur no matter what kind of weather it is!

Monica and her bridesmaids wore gorgeous Hayley Paige gowns from Jennifer’s Bridal. We love a pale pink gown, always the perfect choice for a summer garden wedding. How beautiful are the floral designs in the soft feminine pale colors by Anne Ottley Floral Design? Our other favorite thing about Monica and Andrew’s day was how much fun the two of them had, they were both had huge smiles and were on the verge of laughing out loud all day long.

Amanda + Ryan

Concord Country Club Wedding

Glen Mills, PA

Amanda and Ryan were married on a stormy Saturday at the beautiful Concord Country Club. We loved that there was a huge rain storm which abruptly stopped and the sun popped out just in time for Amanda to walk down the aisle and have the perfect outdoor ceremony. We were so thrilled that the weather turned out to be perfect and just in the nick of time. Yay, Christine from Concord Country Club for making the outdoor ceremony happen!

Manasi and Chris were married in two ceremonies on a perfect spring Saturday in the most enchanting Delaware garden at Winterthur Museum and Gardens and a Christian Church ceremony. We loved all the beautiful Indian traditions, the grooms entrance being carried, the drumming, and all the bright beautiful colors. Manasi and Chris’ Hindu ceremony took place in the Sunken Garden at Winterthur and their cocktail hour was at the Relecting Pool. We love all things at Winterthur which makes for the perfect backdrop for a wedding ceremony and receptions. Check out how pretty the reception was under the stars and twinkly lights on the patio!
