heather — Mon, 01 Jul 2013 15:04:16 +0000

We were so happy to be a part of Allison & Tom’s wedding. Their family & friends were so kind, loving & supportive the whole day. They got married at West Chester United Methodist Church in West Chester, PA. From there we went to West Chester University for some fun portraits. It was another hot day but we had so much fun with everyone it didn’t matter! They were just so happy to be around each other & everyone was beaming. Soon we were all headed to the beautiful Kings Mills in Media, PA for the reception. We loved every minute from the speeches to Tom’s Aunt’s traditional performance of “New York, New York.” Allison even threw the bouquet with her lacrosse stick for an added bonus! We know there will be nothing but happiness in the future for Allison & Tom. We wish them all the best!

After battling high temperatures & a summer storm for their engagement session in Philadelphia, & then an amazingly cute rehearsal dinner party, we were pretty excited for Ashley & Justin’s wedding day. We knew we would be surrounded by good people & that the day would be memorable! Everybody was getting ready at the church in Media so we started there before the ceremony began. Before we knew it they were running down the aisle after their first kiss as husband & wife. Then the festivities began at The Merion Tribute House. We did a bunch of portraits on their beautiful outdoor grounds before heading into the reception. They had the cutest cake from Ann’s Cake Pan with a silver pumpkin on top! After their first dance a delicious dinner was served & then Silver Sound DJ Dan Breslin was ready to open the floor for dancing! After they cut the cake, Ashley got up in the balcony to throw her bouquet for an extra fun touch. It was a great evening no one there will soon forget. Best Wishes to Ashley & Justin!

Lauren & Ray’s Wedding at the Stone Barn, Kennett Square Wedding Photography

We love outdoor ceremonies so we were certainly excited for Lauren & Ray’s fall wedding at The Stone Barn. It was a perfect day for it too! We started with Lauren & the girls getting ready at her parent’s house & then headed over early to meet with Ray & the boys for their shots. We had the opportunity to get some first look shots of the bride & groom before the ceremony which we love to do in such a beautiful setting. After that we were able to fit in some portraits around the gorgeous mill. The ceremony took place just as the sun was setting & they had their very own bagpipe player to accompany them as they walked down the aisle. The sun lowered in the sky and the fall leaves were glowing as they said their vows. We were able to get some great sunset shots after the ceremony & then they joined their cocktail hour to set the night off. They spent weeks brewing 3 different flavors of their own beer as favors which the guests loved along with the photo booth that was set up as well. DJ Na:tev from White Label DJs definitely put an original spin on the night as everyone happily danced & sang along. Best wishes to Lauren & Ray as they begin their life together!

Mike & Alba’s Wedding at the Tyler Arboretum, Delaware County Wedding Photography

heather — Fri, 14 Sep 2012 20:31:22 +0000

Alba & Mike were such a sweet couple and we had a great time shooting them on their wedding day. Everything was held at Tyler Arboretum in Media, PA. This is a great location set among 650 acres of beautiful landscape featuring flowers, meadows, trees, gardens & streams. The ceremony was set to be in the Magnolia Grove, but because of the morning rain they had it in their amazing tent behind the Stone Bank Barn. Alba is of Mexican descent so there was definitely a Mexican flare to the whole day & night. We always love an excuse to put our Spanish to good use & this wedding was no exception. Alba even hired Mariachis for the ceremony & cocktail hour! Their first dance was definitely spicy & their signature drink was called the Paloma, which means dove in Spanish. They had custom white wedding banners hanging from the ceiling of the dining tent along with the traditional colorful banners inside for dancing. One of the cutest touches was the Novia & Novio (Bride & Groom) signs that hung from their chairs during the reception. We of course had to use them for some end of the night photos! The DJ played both U.S. & Latin hits to keep the night going as everyone danced into the night. Felicidades to Mike & Alba!

We had a great time shooting Courtney & Reed’s engagement photos so we were super excited for their wedding. We started with getting ready shots in Kennett Square, PA before heading to the ceremony at the Christian Life Center in New London, PA. After the beautiful ceremony we all headed to The Mill at The Stone Barn for the reception. We got to use their beautiful grounds for some more great shots during cocktail hour and then Tom Barrett Disc Jockeys got the party started. They had a great wedding cake by The Master’s Baker as well as a groom’s cake that really looked like a football helmet! The party went on into the night & the whole room was filled with love & laughter. We wish Courtney & Reed all the best as they start their new life together.

Jackie & PJ’s Wedding at the Penn Oaks Country Club in West Chester, PA

We had a blast shooting Jackie & PJ’s wedding. Since Jackie was all over the place getting ready, we started with the ceremony at St. Pius X church in Broomall, PA. The ceremony was beautiful & there was even a violinist that Jackie’s Mom had there as a surprise. After some quick portraits at the church we all headed to Penn Oaks Golf Club in West Chester, PA. Even though there was a massive down pour during the time we were supposed to do outdoor portraits, we still got some great shots & everyone kept on smiling. The reception was full of more fun, & when it stopped raining we got more portraits of the happy couple. We think rain really is good luck on your wedding day & we wish Jackie & PJ all the best!

Samantha & Jeff’s Wedding at The Rockwood Carriage House, Wilmington Delaware Wedding Photography

heather — Sun, 24 Jun 2012 22:27:07 +0000

We had a great time shooting Samantha & Jeff’s wedding. We got to the church in Wilmington super early for getting ready shots & even though we were stuck in the balcony for the ceremony due to the church’s rules, we still got some great shots of the two saying I do. After that we all headed over to Rockwood Carriage House in Wilmington, DE. We used the beautiful grounds for group shots & gorgeous portraits of the newly weds. Inside the carriage house was beautifully decorated with tons of amazing flowers. Most of the other cute details were DIYed by Samantha herself! The reception kicked right off with the help of the DJs from 4Most Sound. They even had a Karaoke version of “Don’t Stop Believing” so two of the bridesmaids could sing their own version written especially for the bride & groom. It was a fairy tale night & these two will truly live happily ever after.

We first met Stephanie & CJ at John & Serena’s wedding last year. We were thrilled to get an email from them about their wedding because we truly love working with referrals! The day started at Stephanie’s mom’s house where the girls were getting ready and then we headed over to Columbia Station in Phoenixville for the ceremony and reception. The outdoor ceremony was beautiful and they couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day. Columbia Station was just as beautiful inside and the night went perfectly. We were happy to get them out by the train tracks just as a train was passing by too. All the best to Stephanie & CJ in the future!

Linda & Andy met almost a year ago to the day of their wedding. How sweet! We had a great time shooting their engagement session in Everhart Park in West Chester, so we could not wait for the wedding day. We started at Linda’s sister’s house for the bridal preparation shots & then we headed to the church for the ceremony. After they said their “I Do’s” we headed to Loch Nairn Golf Club for their beautiful reception. Tom Barrett DJs kept the night flowing & everyone on the dance floor was having a great time. It was a perfect evening for a perfect couple. Best wishes to Linda & Andy!
