Beach Wedding Photography in Dewey Beach, Delaware: Brittany + Justin

Wedding

No, no, not that Brittany and Justin. This Brittany and Justin are a gorgeous couple, completely fun loving and hilarious, had a beautiful wedding in Dewey Beach, Delaware and yours truly had the honor of photographing it! You should remember them from their engagement session a few months ago.

I started with the ladies around the corner from the venue. Brittany wore a stunning Maggie Sottero slim line gown with some of the most incredible back detailing I’ve seen. A dancer, it fit her form like a glove.

The bridesmaids wore beachy turquoise dresses with great accessories.

The bridal party carried flowers in a fiery orange, Brittany with calla lilies and orchids wrapped in raffia.

Meanwhile, the guys made their way over to the venue, Venus on the Half Shell. It’s a fantastic space with a waterfront view and a unique Moroccan and vibrant vibe inside. I can absolutely understand why this had to be the place for them!

Their wedding was held on the beach under a tent as clouds loomed outside.

I love this look that he gives her that says nothing less than complete adoration.

Justin got into a very serious accident mere weeks before the wedding. Incredibly, he pulled through and looked quite charming as a groom up there. You’d never know if it weren’t for his bandaged hand. And yes, Brittany was still able to get the ring on.

I love this shot that my second shooter, Sean, was able to get from the other side of the kiss!

I really dig that we had some great overcast skies as a background for our pictures. The soft light and moody conditions were clutch. We didn’t have a single drop fall on us.

Venus on the Half Shell looked great. All of the turquoise and orange accessories blended seamlessly into the funky décor.

The toasts were funny and heartfelt. It was actually the first time I’ve ever seen a toast read off of an iPhone.

And you know me, if I have a chance to get food shots, I will!

Sarah + Jason: a Quaker wedding in Doylestown, PA
Let's dust off the blog, shall we? Seems it has a bit of holiday glitter mixed with wedding season dust bunnies.I must tell you about Sarah and Jason's wedding from the fall. It was an incredible wedding! Sarah was one of the happiest, sunshinest brides I've ever met. And it wasn't just because it was her wedding day. It was obvious that she was down to earth and a genuinely positive person. She focused on all of the perfect pieces of the day and disregarded everything else.We started at her family's house in Doylestown. While preparing for a picture, her sister snagged her ring on Sarah's veil and made a hole in it. Tears welled up i ...

Romantic wedding elopement in Philadelphia's Wissahickon Park
Philadelphia Elopement Photographer | Wissahickon Trail | Christina + Larry
In the grand scheme of all weddings, I don’t think there is anything more romantic than an elopement.  No details.  Just two people so in love that “wedding” means commitment in its purest and simplest form.  Think Romeo & Juliet, William Wallace & Murron, and a slew of celebrity couples. I originally talked to Christina about her plans for a City Hall wedding but the more I heard of her story with Larry, the clearer the answer was: Christina + Larry + officiant on the 2 year anniversary of the day and place they met while hiking 22 miles down the Wissahickon Valley Trail. I felt so honored to be there to witness such a ten ...
