The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and the peonies were blooming…a photographer’s dream! They had the ceremony in front of the main building, making it a unique setting with it’s gorgeous red brick and ivory columns!

More Photos after the jump!

Rockford also had a stunning barn with vibrant red doors, perfect for Kourtney’s color palette! Her elegant dress is a Jessica McClintock, one of my absolute favorites this season!

Each bridesmaid had matching accessories that completed their fashionable look! I was personally drooling over these chic statement rings!

Kourtney was effortlessly dazzling with her birdcage veil made by Etsy Designer Claudia, her lace parasol, and her lovely bouquet with it’s peacock feather flair!

Jesse matched perfectly with some unique accessories of his own, including the patterned bow tie made by Etsy Designer E W McCall and (my favorite) red Converses!

All the flowers were arranged by Alison Sullivan (Contact me for her info). Such a wonderful job!

I fell in love with the fresh peonies and the country jars for table settings!

Red was the color of the day! :)

Instead of a traditional guestbook, Kourtney and Jesse had guests thumb print and write their names and messages on this adorable picture!

Kourtney and the girls make their grand entrance, no peeking for Jesse allowed!

Such an adorable ring bearer!

I had to grab this shot of Kourtney and her flowergirl, both matching in vibrant red!

She was so silly and cute!

The much needed “jump!” photo!

I’m so fortunate to have so many awesome couples as clients, because they aren’t afraid to have some fun and get a little goofy!

Retro flip up sunglasses, watch out!!

If you squint really hard, you can see me taking the photo in the sunglasses’ reflection! Congrats Jesse and Kourtney!

I’ll be the Featured Artist at the Main Stage Gallery in The Grand! http://kateslens.com/blog/index.php/2010/04/21/its-official-ill-be-the-featured-artist-at-the-main-stage-gallery-in-the-grand/ http://kateslens.com/blog/index.php/2010/04/21/its-official-ill-be-the-featured-artist-at-the-main-stage-gallery-in-the-grand/#comments Wed, 21 Apr 2010 14:39:07 +0000 kateslens http://kateslens.com/blog/?p=509 I’ve signed the contract, so I guess now that everything is set, I can now announce to the public:

I’M SHOWING AT THE GRAND OPERA HOUSE!

:)

July 2nd is the launch of my showing for a month, and I’ll be at The Grand that night from 6-8pm for the Art Loop in Wilmington, DE.

EDIT: It may land on July 9th, because of an apparent holiday I’m not aware of. I’m discussing with the curator at the Grand to see what is the real date of the art loop. I’ll keep you readers updated!

It’ll feature my fine art work in Christiana, PA, focusing on the countryside, with these photos among many:

All_Lined_In_A_Row_Mary_Kate_Burgess

Hay_Straws_And_Curiosity_Mary_Kate_Burgess

Strong_As_They_Stood_Mary_Kate_Burgess

Down_The_Beaten_Road_Mary_Kate_Burgess

Aside from that collection, I’ll also be showing some of the other series I have, like the City series and Dog series. Possibly even some fine art fashion photography if I have the wall space!

Would love to see everyone out on July 2nd!

She’s his spunky little pug dog, and she’s about 10 years old.IMG_3705

She’s been my sidekick, whenever I was taking new photos for my country fine art series around Christiana, PA.
