The day was rainier than we hoped, but that didn’t stop Julie and Aaron from having a beautiful and fun wedding at the Delaware Center for Horticulture in Wilmington, DE.  Here are a couple of shots from the day…

I’m excited to announce a new product now available to everyone; for an additional fee (please contact me for specific information), my staff and I will create a stunning slideshow to be displayed during your reception.  The show can include photos from your engagement session (if you hired me to shoot one, of course!), and will show off the most exciting, fun and meaningful photos from earlier in the day – up to and including the reception itself.  Its a great way to share your special day with everyone invited to the reception.  The show will be displayed on a beautiful Apple High-Definition Cinema Display, and I’ll work with staff from your venue to set everything up in an accessible but unobtrusive location.  If you are interested, contact me for more information, or we can discuss the option at one of our pre-wedding consultations.

I’ve had so much fun working with Danielle and Matt; from the first time we met at the Bubble House in West Philly over a year ago, to our engagement session in Dumbo, Brooklyn to their wedding at Appleford Estate here in Villanova, their love for each other has been palpable, their energy and creativity inspiring.  Appleford is an absolutely beautiful location, with rolling gardens, streams, and an historic mansion.  And there were deer, in a distant field; it’s like the deer were on the estate’s payroll, asked to show-up at just the right time.  Anyway, here are some of my favorite shots from the day…

Matt greets Danielle; you can’t fake happy – this is about as genuine as it gets.

The ceremony featured a tasting of four extremes: something spicy, sweet, sour and…I forget the last, but maybe you can figure it out for me from the photos

It’s done!

I’m always impressed with unique table “cards”; or herb seedlings the guests can take home…amazing!

The cake; really simple, really classy, totally unique

Spectacular attention to detail – a flower with each place setting

Time to celebrate!

Thank you, Danielle and Matt for choosing me to be a part of your big day…it was truly a great experience!
