I’m excited to share this sneak peek of Alyssa and Patrick’s mid-October wedding day with you!   We started the day at the Courtyard Marriott (University of Delaware where Alyssa and her attendants were getting ready.  Alyssa was full of smiles and excitement (and a little nervous – it’s hard not to be when you finally get to your day!)  After a little while, Alex met up with the guys at Deerfield Golf Club (the couple’s reception venue) for pre-ceremony pics. Between some pretty fun group pics and a few of Patrick on the golf course, I’d say they had a good time ..read more

In the Spring of 2017, my husband and I were introduced to a Delaware brewery called Argilla Brewing Company.  For his birthday, I bought Jason tickets to a special dinner hosted by Iron Hill.  The dinner featured several Delaware breweries by pairing a beer (each from a different brewery) with each course.  When we arrived, I tried to pick a table that wasn’t too crowded.  (introversion at its best!) There was just one other couple at our table.  A course or two in, we discovered that we were sitting with Steve and Candace Powell.  Steve and Candace own/run Argil ..read more

Julia & Michael at the Logan Hotel Last weekend, Julia and Michael had a beautiful wedding at The Logan Hotel in Philadelphia.  There are so many fun details from their day!  Undoubtably the most fun was Cora the dog’s appearance for family portraits, the ceremony (see below!), and even a few minutes on the dance floor. No surprise, it’s been hard to decide what to share today. That being said, I think we have a great sneak peek collection here! Cake on the Rooftop After getting ready, Julia and Michael chose to do a first look on the rooftop of the Logan.  Imm ..read more

I’m so excited to share these moments from Angelo and Brianna’s wedding at Springfield Country Club with you! The First Look The First Look. This is so sweet! Angelo and Brianna were very excited to see each other on their wedding day – these expressions say so much. Brianna walked up the aisle they would use a couple hours later for their ceremony. She tapped Angelo on the back letting him know that he could turn around. Look at his smile! Aaron and I kept at a distance while capturing these moments to give them some privacy during this memorable time together. I won’t go in ..read more

David and Vicki celebrated their marriage with a reception at the Stotesbury Mansion. The best thing? This was a reception 25 years in the making! When they were married, the couple didn’t have your ‘typical’ party afterwards. After lots of planning, they decided that with this milestone anniversary, they would pull out the stops and celebrate with family and friends. The Stotesbury Mansion The Stotesbury Mansion was built in 1870 as a wedding gift for Thomas McKean’s son, Henry. (interestingly, Thomas was the descendant of a Delaware delegate who signed the Declaration of Independence!) In 18 ..read more

Last weekend, Kristen and Howie had a wonderful winter wedding at Riverfront Events in Wilmington. It was a beautiful day, and though chilly, it was bright and definitely what you would expect in February (not like the 70 degree day two days before they said ‘I do’). Preparation & Winter Wedding Ceremony Aaron and I had the privilege of capturing this sweet couple’s day. We started photography indoors as Kristen’s makeup was being finished and all her final touches were put into place. Close by, Howie got some help with his boutonniere, buttoned up, and everyone was ready to go! Howie and ..read more

Should We Get One? Couples spend hours upon hours planning a wedding.  They spend hours dreaming about their wedding.  They invest a great deal (both energy and finances) into the wedding day itself.  The day comes – it’s wonderful, beautiful, and filled with joy.  And yet, in what seems like a blink of an eye, the day ends!  The main part of my job as a professional wedding photographer is to help couples hold on to these moments that pass by so quickly.  To freeze them in time with beautiful digital photographs.  And yet, I believe that the very best way I ..read more

One of the beautiful things about an engagement session at Longwood Gardens is that the space is so large. You can’t cover everything in a one hour session. The gardens are also always changing, and therefore, the sessions are always different. As a Wilmington Delaware wedding photographer, I shoot there a good bit – it is right up the road! I love that every one of these sessions is different from the other. Carlos & Ina I’m excited to share images from Longwood last week with Carlos & Ina. I really enjoyed my time with them. The story of how they met is amazing! They are both body bu ..read more

You are in for a treat with this beach wedding sneak peek! Hannah and John crafted a unique wedding day for intimate family and friends early this December. The bride got ready at a home in the Peninsula with her Mom, sisters, and niece nearby to help. Her dress was simple and chic – with a full bodice overskirt of shining stars. All beautifully made and designed just for Hannah! The Beach Wedding Ceremony Typically I don’t think of early December as ‘beach season’ in Delaware, but Hannah and John had a really gorgeous sunny day and it all just worked! It was a comfortable 50 ..read more
