Wedding

Why pick one or two wedding colors when you can have them ALL?!  I love me some black and white photography but this wedding day can’t be contained with monochrome.  Jackie’s thought was, “I can’t possibly narrow it down to one or two colors.”

Jackie and Geoff’s sunny, rainbow-tastic wedding has some of the most exuberant details I’ve ever seen.  And on top of that, Jackie handmade it all!  It was a personal wedding that was perfectly them.

Their life and home has been consumed with different colored pieces of felt for a while.  She created over 300 flowers and that was just the beginning.

Can we stop for a second and take in this fabulous hot pink, bejeweled heels?!

She let the colors of the day play center stage though her column gown with keyhole back and detachable train was pretty awesome.

Jackie and Geoff shared their first look on that sunny day at the Wallingford Community Art Center.

It was a beautiful day to stroll around the whimsical gardens and interesting old mansion.

Geoff had his own flair with bowtie, special boutonniere, and socks.

Yes, there were handmade boutonnieres for each of the 40 guests.blog-215-JackieGeoff

Jackie’s style was gorgeous.  She added a sweet birdcage veil and the delicate jacket her late mother made for her own wedding.

The self-uniting Quaker ceremony in the round involved loving advice from everyone in attendance.  The first speaker held a large ball of white yarn with tiny color pieces all along it’s 600+ yards length.  The ball was tossed from one person to another and across the circle, creating a web surrounding them.  I had never seen anything like it.

Instead of a bouquet, Jackie carried a colorful staff (“stick”) that she created for the occasion.

Of course the reception was just as vibrant.  Painted vases with handwritten quotes and several felt blooms each adorned the horseshoe-shaped dining table.

Jackie and Geoff led off the party with their first dance to “Pot of Gold” by Robby Hecht.

The guest “book” was a unique sheet of textured, rainbow paper that Jackie has pained white circles on for guests to sign.  It was a beautiful keepsake of the day.

It was a lovely evening and they were showered by so much love.  Congratulations on everything!

While I’m in the kitchen cooking up a pot pie
You’re just watching with your pretty blue eyes
And the kids are singing our favorite tune
My pot of gold is my life with you

Julia + Matt’s Wedding at St. John the Baptist and The Old Mill
Julia and Matt are fun, hilarious, and awesome (in no particular order). Not surprisingly, their wedding exuded the exact same qualities. This group was a blast – there was nonstop laughter. If that’s not the sign of an incredible wedding, I don’t know what is. This wedding was sprinkled with a little bit of Rocky (the boxer, not the squirrel), zombies, rugby, mummers, chests & vests (don’t ask), and an all around good time.Perhaps you remember these two crazy kids from their engagement session in Manayunk last year.We started the day in Manayunk at Matt and Julia’s place where the girls were getting ready.Julia was stylin’! I loved ...

Melissa + Phil: Intimate Outdoor Wedding
Last month I had the absolute pleasure and honor of photographing Melissa & Phil's intimate wedding held at a friend's house near Doylestown, PA. I was one of only 11 guests there to witness their union.Melissa was a joy from day one. She is cheerful and spunky and we realized we had a commonality – cheese and Narberth. We both love cheese and she actually worked at the cute little cheese shop in downtown Narberth, just a few blocks away from where I live. She was all smiles and looked glorious on her wedding day.Melissa and Phil opted to see each other and spend time with their guests before the ceremony. This couple wasn't going fo ...

Kind, gentle, generous, and loving were words that came up again and again on Lily and Greg’s beautiful fall wedding day.  And with good reason.  They are all of those things and more.  I learned at their fall engagement session last year at Valley Forge Park that these two are simply wonderful people.  They warm the people around them.  It’s a very special feeling to be in their presence. They were blessed with a beautiful fall wedding day.  The ladies started at the Wayne Hotel, rocking out to Disney tunes, courtesy of Lily’s maid of honor and sister, Maggie.  If you’ve seen the end of Sleeping Beauty (and who hasn’t?), Lily and Maggie k ...
