Delaware Wedding Photographer | Hockessin Memorial Hall | Katie + Justin

Wedding

Katie and Justin are adorable beyond words. She’s a Delaware girl who’s happiest when she’s barefoot and he’s a Tennessee boy who tries hard not to crack a smile (and completely fails at this). You should remember them from their engagement session in New Castle, Delaware last fall. Their summer wedding was simply joyful.

I met up with Katie’s family and the ladies at Katie’s family’s house in Middletown.

There were happy little flower girls flitting all around the house.

One of my absolute favorite details about the day was the fact that Katie lost her wedding shoes that morning. They were just nowhere to be found. The solution: wear the shoes her mother wore at her wedding! Seriously, how incredible is that!?

There was a definite Mad Men flair going on. The ladies wore watermelon colored cocktail length dresses, Jackie O style, with short white gloves and pearls. The guys were in grey suits.

The wedding was held at Immanuel Episcopal Church on the Green in New Castle. This church was particularly significant to Katie and Justin since Katie’s parents and grandparents had all been married there.

The reception was held at the Hockessin Memorial Hall. I can’t even begin to tell you how much fun this group was. They were singing and dancing out on the dancefloor all night (when they weren’t causing trouble in the parking lot).

Katie and Justin shared their first song as husband and wife to “I Cross My Heart” by George Strait.

And then the festivities began…

This Tennessee crew brought some of the south up with them.

Question: if something questionable goes on at a wedding, do I photograph it or step in? Well, flower girl, Ceryl, got wrapped up in the partying after snatching some champagne off the table and going bottoms up. It was too good not to document.

Meanwhile, outside this was going on to Justin’s truck…

It was such an incredible day. Katie and Justin, thank you so much for everything. You guys know how to throw it down!

Our love is unconditional

We knew it from the start

I see it in your eyes

You can feel it from my heart

From here on after

Let’s stay the way we are right now

And share all the love and laughter

That a lifetime will allow

Not ones to be tied down by (any) tradition or superstition, Christina and Eli had the wedding so many only dare to dream about – 100% their way.  It was a refreshing and beautiful take on such an important and personal day with sweet, sentimental flourishes and nods to different cultures and religions as these two joined together.  I feel lucky to know them as friends and to have been invited in as one of the lucky ones, along with Gary or Gary Nevitt Photography (his take on the wedding on his blog), to play such a special role in their day. We, all of us, started at the Hotel Monaco that morning.  If you’re marrying the love of your lif ...

Main Line Wedding Photographer | Pomme | Dana + Tom
It was the first snow of the season and I was beyond psyched.  Winter weddings often need a lot of energy because guests are shuffling in with big black coats and cold fingers.  Snow makes things magical, especially when it’s the first snow of the season.  There’s a little kid in all of us who still gets a thrill from waking up to those snowflakes that first time. Dana and Tom held their wedding at the charming Pomme in Radnor.  You would never know it was there unless you were looking for it.  It’s nestled between trees and across a bridge.  Inside is clean and modern with big windows, funky hanging lights, and subtly branch-patterned ...

I have started this blog post over about 5 times now because I can’t even form the words to describe this wedding. Stupendous? Magical? Utterly perfect? Take your pick; any of them will work. The sushi-loving, California couple were a delight, the weather was more than anyone could have asked for (a threat of rain turned to 0% precipitation that day), the venue is one of my all-time favorites (John James Audubon Center), and the details, oh the details...! Here is their chilly winter engagement session and here is their wedding!The peach and teal invitations and stationary suite were gorgeously coordinated throughout the day.Beautiful B ...
