Annie + Keith: Wedding in St. Helena with Julie Cheshire

Wedding

I still can’t get over last weekend’s wedding between Annie & Keith. I spent the day in wine country with Julie of Julie Cheshire Photography photographing this absolutely adorable couple.


We started the day at Harvest Inn in St. Helena where the guys and the girls were getting ready. Harvest Inn is absolutely beautiful and reminiscent of some hidden New England treasure with its brick buildings and little shaded paths everywhere.

I absolutely loved Annie’s flowers. The girls had bright yellow calla lilies with a humble green leaf wrap around the stems. Annie’s bouquet was made of green-tipped white callas with a trio of leaf wraps down the stems. I really loved the simplicity.


Her dress fit her like a glove. It was ivory chiffon with white lace appliqués all over it. The color difference really came out when she was outside in natural light. It looked perfect on her.



Oh, and the guys’ ensembles was so great. They all wore khaki Banana Republic suits, white shirts, and brown Converse chucks given to them as a surprise the night before by Keith. They looked so good!


Though Keith was quite nervous, the ceremony at Tra Vigne went off without a hitch. It was presided over by a family friend which made it all the more personal.





I had never been to a wedding at Tra Vigne before but loved the feel of it all. It’s a restaurant that had given the outdoor patio space to Annie and Keith. There were twinkling lights in the trees and white daisies, yellow rose petals, and yellow calla lilies everywhere.



It was such a beautiful wedding and Annie and Keith were nothing short of sweet and cute. They danced their first dance together to “Losing You” by John Butler Trio.

It was such a great day! Thanks, guys!

There are things in this life I
would rather not sacrifice.
You girl I cannot live without
and you know there’s no doubt that
All I mind’s losing you.
John Butler Trio “Losing You”

Rachael + Dan: Catholic Wedding at the Jersey Shore
I had so missed beach weddings. Northern California has their vineyards but the east coast has lovely beaches within reach. Take Dan and Rachael's wedding, for example. I headed down to the Jersey shore in the fall for a truly beautiful union between these two. Dan and Rachael are awesome. They just have fun together. It's so obvious. They looks, the quips, the everything. They were a fantastic couple to photograph. It wasn't until that day that I realized I actually went to grade school with the groom. What a small world!This wedding was the perfect combination of playful and preppy. I loved the navy blue silk bridesmaid dresses wi ...

Philadelphia Wedding Photographer | Glen Foerd Mansion | Jen + Joe
We had a few days of strange 80+ degree days and then came the day for Jen and Joe’s wedding and Glen Foerd Mansion. It was chilly and damp, which really only made the grand estate feel more proper somehow. The beautiful venue on the Delaware River was vibrant with green and overflowing with history and charm. It’s a place Jen has known practically her whole life.Despite coordinating a wedding and four very little ones, Jen looked radiant.They had a first look before the ceremony. It was great to wander the grounds and spend some quiet time together.As I said, Glen Foerd is beautiful and oh-so-charming.The ceremony was held in the drawing ...
