I always look forward to engagement sessions and this time the Waterworks and Art Museum were basking in the golden sun of the sunset. Just what we needed to paint some beautiful portraits of our couple. Their Spring wedding is gonna rock!
This last e-session was hands down one of the most colorful fall sessions I’ve shot to date, with fall foliage at its peak. And I’m sure Lauren and Mike will agree, although we did chase the foliage a bit around Swarthmore College campus.
This was the first time I photographed a morning engagement session without loading up on coffee beforehand. All due to a little technology hiccup and a very patient couple. Thank you Jess & Jeff!
But finally, I got to meet their cute doggie Darby and walked for the first time on Ben Franklin Bridge – a pretty cool experience and views of the city.
I laughed and laughed with Svetlana and Justin during their wedding at Old Mill, and I’m still laughing while posting these photos on the blog. They are just that type of happy souls and their positivity spreads around like wildfire. And laughs turned into tears during their speeches and back into laughs along with the party. Also, I need some of that amazing beer, Justin brewed, in my life asap! 🙂
But let me tell you the story of their day through images.
Most entertaining groomsmen ever! Hands down.
You can’t get more beautiful fall foliage during your wedding than this.

This is one for the books folks. I found myself back on the banks of Delaware, at the beautiful Glen Foerd mansion where Matt and Amelia were getting ready to arm wrestle their way into their marriage. (see proof below) After their getting ready we found ourselves in the cool breeze of the ceremony with all emotions at peak.
Just before the party, we had to play in the golden sunset light of the mansion’s front lawn and photograph the love of these two sweethearts.
We played a little Game of Thrones with Matt’s groomsmen here.

Indeed we stormed out when we noticed this beautiful full moon. What can be more romantic?
Ask Amelia about the miniature elephant piece. 🙂
Guess who’s a mummer? Matt’s dad! So it was in order the mummers made a special appearance at their wedding reception.
Let me teach you something. When you see a photographer at a wedding go “oooh, ahhh, yesss, this light”, it means the photos are turning out great. That’s exactly what was happening all day long at Alexandra and Vinny’s wedding the other weekend. These two love birds chose to have their wedding at Michener Art Museum, an exquisite venue with the ceremony held right by the water fountain outdoors. How lucky were they to actually have a Steve McCurry exhibit during the wedding day. When it was time for drinks and dancing the party was moved inside the cool Apple looking glass dome.
After photographing their engagement at Longwood Gardens during the orchid extravaganza, I knew the wedding itself will have no shortage of the elegant Orchidaceae. And I was not wrong, as Alexandra’s bouquet, built on a wire frame was an amazing orchid display.
Enjoy the photos!

Sunny days are wonderful in October on the East Coast.
