Liz looked beautiful in her lace veil and the event was decorated with natural soft details, as well as unique items from Etsy.com (a website offering artists’ work for sale), including the ring holding dish! The cake’s icing, done by  Sweets to You by Ginger, was made to look like tree bark and they had a wonderful candy bar during cocktail hour with rustic accents, including old wooden crates used as platforms. Chris Horne played acoustic music during the ceremony and once the party started for the reception, it was MC’d by DJ Baby Bubba! Congrats Liz and John!

Their first meeting!

Craziest wedding party photo! :D

One of those weddings was featured for the Winter issue of DIY Weddings Magazine! Valerie and Paul had a gorgeous day in October, so I just had to share it with the wonderful DIY Weddings! Valerie made most of the details that day, including her veil! They loved it just as much as we did, so they decided to write a story on it! :)

 

Congrats, Valerie and Paul!

We started off at the Love Park and finished with a jump in the fountain! It was springtime in the city, so tulips were blossoming and William Penn was shining! :P Enjoy!

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!

So we decided to kick things off with a shoot at Longwood Gardens, which was beautifully decorated with so many stunning evergreens for the holiday!

I had to take advantage of the beautiful hallways of Longwood’s Conservatory!

More photos after the jump!

I love these two, they are so much fun and Matt kept us giggling the whole session! :)

Even though it was only coincidence that we planned the shoot during the holidays and we didn’t want to shoot to become to themed, I had to get at least a couple shots of them by the vibrant Christmas trees!

It was freezing out, but we were able to catch a couple shots outside, including this last shot! It was a gorgeous winter day!
