Maryland Wedding Photography | Jess & Mike's Winery Wedding

*Posted by Matt*

A bride and groom riding bicycles through a winery on their wedding day? It sounds like the setup for a movie scene but I promise you it actually happened. We have pictures (beautiful ones, in my opinion) to prove it.

Mike and Jess had their wedding at The Winery at Elk Manor in North East Maryland and they had a plethora of ways to make the day their own.

The story behind these two meeting is that they were biking past each other on the streets of Baltimore and stopped to talk. Fast forward a few years and they were getting married so they decided wedding portraits on bicycles was a must. They also had a bicycle-themed cake topper, a bicycle wheel place card display and so much more.

The winery also boasted a beachfront, a boat dock and open fields so portrait ideas were pretty easy. Jess and Mike were so laid back and really just encouraged us to do as much as we wanted, which was awesome! But it really was all because of these two that it all came together.

Congrats Jess and Mike!

Philadelphia Wedding Photography | Linda & John's Union Trust Wedding

*Posted by Matt*

Linda and John started off our 2016 weddings with their March wedding at Union Trust in Olde City. It was our first time working a wedding at Union Trust and I am so glad we had the opportunity because it was such a refreshing new wedding venue for us!

They kicked off the day getting ready at the Hotel Monaco before heading over for a first look at City Hall. We had some quiet time with just the bride and groom at the LOVE statue before heading over to meet the bridal party on South Broad Street.

Then it was off to Union Trust for the ceremony and reception!

 

The day was full of twists and turns, as most weddings are. Some of the highlights included a groomsman deciding to leave portraits without telling us to head back to his apartment, a surprise 'Baby Boomer Flash Mob' (yes, you read that correctly) and some unexpected snow while we were out doing portraits!

Congrats, once again, to Linda and John. Thank you for bringing us along and introducing us to a new, fun place in the city!

Philadelphia Wedding Photography | Jenny & Matteo's Delaware Wedding

*Posted by Theresa*

This weekend we have a wedding in Delaware so we thought it appropriate to revisit the last time we were there! We spent a beautiful day with Jenny and Matteo for their wedding at Rockwood Carriage House last Summer! The grounds around their venue were full of special spots that felt like we had been transported to a secluded secret garden. It was perfect for early June.

From the moment they saw each other at their first look, they could not stop smiling, and everyone around could feel the love. Their bridal party (all 15 of them!) looked summer ready in shades of pale mint, but Jenny was not to be outdone in her stunning lace dress.

We had so much fun celebrating this fantastic couple! Congratulations, Jenny and Matteo!

Philadelphia Wedding Photography | Breanne & Eric's Aldie Mansion Wedding

* Posted by Theresa *

We had our first wedding at Aldie Mansion in Doylestown this May with Breanne and Eric. It was such a beautiful place!

Matt started his day with the girls in the bridal suite of the Aldie Mansion, while Natalie met Eric and his groomsmen at the Hampton Inn in Warrington. There were so many great spots around the venue to photograph Breanne's beautiful strapless lace wedding gown and diamond accessories to match!

The bride looked breathtaking in her wedding gown, adorned with a lace cover-up that she later removed for the reception, and her bridesmaids looked great in their matching gray bridesmaids dresses.

Eric stood out from his groomsmen, wearing a white jacket with his tux, while the rest of the guys wore black-on-gray tuxes. They looked great!

They were both naturals in front of the camera so their bride and groom portraits were so much fun! Towards the end of the night, we were able to capture one of our favorite photos ever—the two under a gigantic, twinkle-lit tree!

Congratulations Breanne and Eric!

Philadelphia Wedding Photography | Pam & Nick's Lehigh Valley Wedding

*Posted by Matt*

After spending a day with Pam and Nick exploring New York City for their engagement photos this September (check out our previous blog post to see the photos they used as table arrangements!), we could not wait until their actual wedding, and it far exceeded our expectations!

We returned to Blue in Bethlehem for their late May wedding, but not before meeting Pam and her bridesmaids and Nick and his groomsmen at Sands Bethlehem where the two parties were getting ready.

Pam and Nick, as expected, kept their quirky, spontaneous personalities in full force, which made for such a fun day.

Pam looked fabulous in her beaded, vintage inspired wedding dress and stunning diamond jewelry, while Nick looked handsome as ever in a classic black tux (with a pop of fuchsia to match the fuchsia bridesmaid dresses and Pam's fuchsia orchid bouquet!).

After taking some really cool bridal party portraits around the grounds at Sands Bethlehem, we all set out to get the bride and groom married!

Their wedding ceremony at Blue was a pretty standard ceremony, with a surprise appearance from a group who sang "Seasons of Love" from the Broadway hit Rent! It was awesome!

Thanks, once again, for a great time, Pam and Nick!
