Hotel duPont Wedding Photographer: Taryn & Arif

Posted in Weddings show hide 57 comments

Winter weddings are some of my favorite....I absolutely love the decor you can use in the winter time. And any time Christmas decorations can be used along with the wedding? You all know I'm in:) Taryn & Arif's wedding was no exception - it was an absolutely stunning wedding held at Hotel duPont in Wilmington, Delaware. GORGEOUS venue, I hope to shoot many more weddings there:)

Taryn & Arif met at a singles awareness part on Valentine's Day a few years back, and wed this past Friday at Hotel duPont.....everything about their day was simply gorgeous:) Some of my favorites from their day are below, but check out their SLIDESHOW for even more images from their day!

Had to start the post off with these shoes - aren't they amazing? I wish I had shoes like that for my wedding day:) Taryn is a girl who loves some bling:)

Love, love love:)

While I was with the girls, Cait was with Arif & the guys....

Time for their First Look! My favorite time of the day:)

Downtown Wilmington has some great spots for photos:

One of my favorites - I see this one is a large canvas:)

Gorgeous Taryn:)

Taryn & Arif arranged for their guests to be able to take a horse & carriage ride around the city before the ceremony - they hopped in for the first ride:)

One of my all time favorite ring shots!

Absolutely loved this ceremony space:

Absolutely loved all of the wintery details - and that cake? One of the best I've ever seen!

Also one of my favorite cake shots I've ever taken, love the Christmas wreath in the background:)

Congrats Taryn & Arif!!

For even more photos from their day, make sure to check out the SLIDESHOW!

Top of the Tower Wedding Photographer: Chrissie & Mike

Posted in Weddings show hide 11 comments

Ever since Chrissie and Mike booked me as their wedding photographer, I was THRILLED to shoot their wedding. Not only is she sweet as can be, but they got married where Jay and I got married, at the Top of the Tower right in center city Philly:) It was so fun going back! Definitely weird to be on the other end of things this time, but still such a blast:) The people at Top of the Tower are amazing, I highly recommend the venue to anyone looking for a place in center city.

The weather for their wedding day was....well...a little less than cooperative. We got a freak snow storm in October in the North East, which rarely happens that early. At least there wasn't much accumulation on the roads around the city (although I had a solid 5 inches of snow at my house, only about 15 minutes outside the city....can't figure that one out), and we made it work:) Chrissie and Mike were so amazing and didn't let the weather bother them in the slightest, they were such a joy to work with:) And since we had shot their engagement session the day before the wedding, hitting all of the important outside shots around Philly that Chrissie wanted, she ok with doing their photos wherever we needed to the day of the wedding. I love being forced to think outside the box on days like theirs, because I always end up loving the photos....I've never shot an entire bride & groom session indoors before, but I'm in LOVE with their shots:)

Here are some of my favorites from the day:) I can't get over the snow accumulation outside the window:

Chrissie's dress was perfection:

Gorgeous.

Mike's son helped him get dressed:)

Time for the first look, my favorite part of the day!

Mike's reaction was priceless - I believe he said "now you have it documented that I DO have emotions!"

As we drove to the Kimmel Center for their photos, the rain tapered off just enough to get their shot in the middle of Broad Street - love!

All of these were taken inside the Kimmel Center, I love the result:

I believe my fab 2nd shooter Caitlin was locked in a staircase while I was taking these....sorry Cait! I found you eventually:)

The ceiling made of glass makes it an ideal shooting location:

One of Cait's, I loved her angles - a bunch more in this post are hers:)

This is my favorite from the day:)

We headed back for the ceremony - Chrissie & Mike's two bullmastiffs were walked down the aisle - how CUTE are they??

Married!

I just love these two:)

Chrissie & Mike, thank you so much for including me in your day - it was SO great getting to know you guys, I had a blast! Hope you're enjoying your FAB honeymoon:)

For even more photos from Chrissie & Mike's wedding, check out their SLIDESHOW!

Cait - November 7, 2011 - 1:28 pm

First, I’d like to say that the stairwell wasn’t as bad as you’d think. Second – FABULOUS. Love the angles on the stairs and in the Kimmel Center. The bouquet looks gorgeous in the snow!! I love it!!
