Hilarious and Rainy – New Hope Wedding

November 9, 2018

MEGHAN + JASON’S \ RAINY AND EMOTIONAL WEDDING

Hotel du Village in New Hope, PA.

This wedding was amazing and hilarious. Yes! It was raining, however we had tons of fun exploring the Hotel du Village. Puddle hopping, poem readings, special dances and adventurous spirits made this wedding a beautiful and emotional day.

Meghan and Jason are truly unique people.

Jason is a man, who fills the world of puns and hilarious sarcasm. With this in mind and photographing their engagement session, I learned that Jason is a hysterical! Listening to their wedding speeches you’ll learn that everyone who knows Jason, loves him. He brings life to everything; as a talented musician, friend, and now husband.

Meghan is a brilliant woman, who works as a speech therapist; encouraging people to live and embrace their disabilities, as if they have none. It’s truly amazing! In the same way, she has taken aspects of her own life and made them something to strengthen her and others around her. She is a loving, unique, and strong woman. Truly, Jason is a lucky man!

You’ll see throughout these photos: how unique and hilarious these two people are! “They love each other s’more everyday!”

Meghan and Jason were now dressed and there was finally a break in the clouds. We were going to run outside for their first look however, the moment she stepped out the door, the rain began to pour. In conclusion, we decided to stay indoor and it was perfect! We found this quaint and quiet little nook for them to embrace each other. I love these moments.

Alas! We found a small moment with little rainy. You may not be able to tell from these shots, but this was quite an adventure! Lots of dress holding and jumping over puddles and running around. Meghan and Jason had fun though because they were able to snuggle in and chat together, before their vows!

Meghan and her father shared a beautiful first look.

It’s apparent how close Meghan and her father are. Her mother was able to witness a beautiful first look between them. As a result, I think everyone teared up a bit at these moments.

You can’t forget the Bridal Party!

These guys were troopers for this day. We stayed in mostly all the same place for their photos, but they made it epic. We had tons of fun setting up different types of shots and making candid moments even though we were in tight spaces. It was perfect and super unique! So, thanks for being awesome!

Now off the get married!

Her father walked her down the aisle and placed Meghan’s hands in Jason’s. As can be seen, everyone cried and laughed during these their ceremony. It was beautiful and filled with so many intimate and personal details. Go ahead check it out!

Officially married! Woo hoo! Now…

Above all else, Let’s Party! So many great memories at this reception! Laughs, Poem readings, special dances, and speeches that would have brought even the “Cake To TIERS!” Grandma was a hilarious highlight on this day. As a result, even I was cracking up laughing from her. Meghan danced with her mom after reading a poem to her. All the mothers and daughters danced to none-other-than the Gilmore Girls theme song! It was perfect! Everyone had a great time that’s for sure!

Congratulations! Without reservation, you had a beautiful and hilarious wedding day and I loved being apart of it. Thank you so much for letting me be apart of your wedding! It was an honor to be there and witness your day unfold. In conclusion: enjoy your wedding photos! Cannot wait to see where your lives go.

Fun Philadelphia Bartram’s Garden Wedding

Sept 1, 2018

MICHELLE + DANNY’S \ FUN AND AUTHENTIC WEDDING

Bartram’s Garden in Philadelphia

This wedding was amazing.

Michelle and Danny have such a beautiful and unique relationship.

Just being in their presence you are filled with excitement and a thirst for adventure. They met each other overseas, how fun! As a result, they spent years dating enjoying life together. Dancing. Dancing is a huge part of their relationship, because that plays a role in how they met.

Now, they are getting married and couldn’t be more excited.

Michelle and Danny wanted the focus of their day to be truly authentic. To embrace the love of all their everyone there and have a ton ridiculous dancing. Literally all their desires came true. Here is some proof of the day. Enjoy!

Having a good time with the ladies, while on the other side of the hotel, Danny was getting ready with some guys.

They did their FIRST LOOK in a small alleyway.

They did their first look in a small alleyway close to the Marriot Hotel in Philadelphia. Was a crowded day with events going on and somehow just for their first look, the people ceased. Was a beautiful and fun moment to witness.

We perused a little bit of Center City before we went to the Gardens.

We passed about five weddings who took over Broad Street, Philadelphia. The beautiful Broad Street City Center Shot, we kept driving and hoping we would find an open median. Finally we found one and it was great. We found one and a few other cute spots around the area as well. What a beautiful day this was!

BARTRAMS GARDEN is stunning and such a great place to have a wedding.

Not only is it beautiful but the staff and food is always amazing and super friendly! Now ahead we have some great Bridal party photos. These guys were HILARIOUS!! Not your typical wedding day, but that is what makes it epic and amazing!

After the bridal party had their fun, things got a little more serious. WOW!!!

What a gorgeous ketubah they had! All their closest family huddled around with their closer friends who were their signers and they got “Jewish married!” I laughed hysterically when someone at the end said, congrats, “Your officially Jewish Married!”

A BEAUTIFUL AND EMOTIONAL MOMENT!

This wasn’t the only emotionally beautiful moments during this wedding, now we venture on to their ceremony and dear Lord did I ball my eyes out during their wedding ceremony!

JEWISH AND LEGALLY MARRIED!

Now they are both Jewish Married and Legally Married and ahhhh bliss!!! They are clearly in love and it was so much fun to be with them for a few moments after they said their “I do’s!”

Now lets let the party begin!!!!

This wedding was filled with fun, hilarious, candid and tons of personality…but, their reception was something else. I’m just going to put one word to it, and that is: Epic! They were incredible dancers and didn’t stop all night long, groomsmen rapping their toast, and a incredible Hora Dance!

Now, I learned of this really cool tradition at this wedding.

When both the bride and groom are the last to be married off in their family both the parents are honored. The mothers get flower crowns and their mothers and fathers both get thrown in the air in celebration! This is amazing, you’ll see!

Congratulations you guys! Thank you so much for letting me be apart of your wedding! It was so much fun, such an honor to be there!

Rachael + Bobby’s Rustic Wedding Day in Lancaster, PA

August 3, 2018

RACHAEL + BOBBY \ RUSTIC WEDDING

Cork Factory Hotel

Ohh my goodness, was this wedding just perfect!! Rachael and Bobby went on their first date at a cute, little coffee shop in South Jersey and ever since, it’s been great. They spent a ton of time apart, not that they wanted to, but because life and distance made it happen. Now on this day, they would never have to be far away from each other again. You can tell from these photos how much they just wanted to be married. How precious and beautiful these moments were for them. Every part of their wedding day was perfect. Starting out with a epic, adventure hike on a farm in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and ending with a rain storm outside at the stunning, rustic venue of The Cork Factory Hotel. I just loved this wedding, loved this place, and I love this couple!

Three words make up this day: Gorgeous, Candid, Genuine.

Walked into a room of happy, laid-back, and beautiful women.

In another building was this awesome hotel room that Bobby was getting ready in.

Now we went on an adventure to a farm. We had no idea where we were driving, and the adventure was pretty epic. We stumbled upon this place and were blown away by all the horses, bulls, and goats.

They then headed back to their wedding venue that was covered in industrial decor, rustic candles, and beautiful lighting and fireplaces. The outside was covered in brick, and we got some photos outside before the storm was about to approach.

These guys are clearly hilarious. Now on a serious note, lets go get them married!

I love the moments right before she walks down the aisle. So much emotions and thoughts have gone into this day, and now it is about to begin.

Ahhhh, officially married! It happened! It was beautiful!

This bride and groom did an amazing job at prepping for this wedding. I mean, just look at these details! Now enjoy the party…

Clearly a beautiful day here. Congratulations you two. I felt so honored to have been a part of your wedding day and trusted with these beautiful memories.

These guys had an epic and beautiful wedding day. Check it out and you’ll see how hilarious, candid and genuine they are.

They were married on a gorgeous day filled with so many hilarious guests and dance moves. Everyone clapped as she walked down the aisle, they cheered as they danced their first dance, and they laughed and cried as they exchanged their vows.

They had the most beautiful Invitation Suite. If you look a little closer, you’ll see their engagement photo where they climbed a tree at Longwood Gardens!

Now down the hall was Scott hanging out with his groomsmen getting ready. They had yummy food and some seriously big windows to gaze outside from. My second shooter Sarah rocked this and Scott looks pretty dang awesome!

And now they finally got to see each other. There first look was amazing with some peering bridesmaids!

They exchanged gifts and cards right before they walked down the aisle. We decided to do it like this and clearly it was hilarious!

Now to go and get married! Was a beautiful ceremony. Even their guests clapped for them as they walked down the aisle.

Dad had some last minute thoughts to give away as he is giving away.

And of course an epic wedding needs to be finished with some sparklers.
