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!

Sarah and Joe: Wedding

Posted in Weddings show hide 14 comments

Sarah and Joe - where to begin? Sarah is one of my favorite people in the whole world - you'll never meet a more genuine and sweet girl in your entire life. I'm so happy I met her during my freshman year at PSU, and that we've stayed close friends ever since. And I think we all knew when we met Joe, that he was the one for her. They compliment each other so well, and I'm so happy they found each other:)

Their wedding at the Waterfall Banquet Center in Wilmington, Delaware was just stunning - all of the details were absolutely perfect - so let's get to their images:)

Gorgeous bride:

Yay!

The flowers were amazing - but what else do you expect from Mary and Dawn? I'm so excited to say they're doing the flowers for my own wedding!

Looooved these bridesmaid bouquets - I'll be using these flowers for my own wedding too:)

Does Sarah look like a model or what?? I can't even explain how amazing she looked in this dress....well wait....I'll let the pictures do the explaining:)

Loved this hair piece!

Have you ever seen a back of a dress like this? Phenomenal!

Let me say a little something about Mary and Dawn - to say they went above and beyond with the details for Sarah's wedding would be an understatement. They totally transformed this empty room to have a formal aisle - and the details at the front of the room? Stunning! I fell in love with their decorations - they totally made it into a beautiful winter wedding theme:

This just might be my favorite picture of the whole day:)

I'm thinking I might have to use this idea for my cake too (do you like how I'm stealing all of these ideas for my own wedding? - but I looooved how there were snowflakes imprinted in the icing!

Mary and Sarah - I love these girls!

These guys were quite the entertainers - the one on the right is Mary's husband:)

Ahhhhh all of my PSU girls - this picture just makes me smile every single time I look at it. I'm so lucky to have so many amazing friends in my life - love you girls!

To Sarah and Joe - thank you so much for having me be a part of your special day - I had SO much fun hanging out with you all day long Sarah! Hope you're enjoying the honeymoon!

For even more Sarah and Joe goodness, CLICK HERE to watch their slideshow!

We can’t thank you enough for being such a huge and special part of our big day! All of the pictures are wonderful and everyone I send to the sight can’t stop raving about how talented you are. Thanks for putting together a great slideshow too Love ya!

Jaime - January 20, 2010 - 12:37 pm

Absolutely gorgeous…everything from start to finish was beautiful. Tina, you did an amazing job capturing their special day. Sarah and Joe look great!! Oh and of course I LOVE the psu picture

Sam - January 18, 2010 - 9:22 am

omg amazing tina! Sarah looked fabulous and her dress was perfect for an elegant winter wedding. Mary and her sister’s flowers were so great; gorgeous wedding! These are your best pics yet teens.

Joan - January 17, 2010 - 1:16 pm

Tina-I’m speechless after that slideshow! What a wonderful remembrance of Sarah and Joe’s special day! That song was perfect; where did you find it? I have to agree with Jess, country was not something I’d imagine you’d pick but it was just right. I love the pictures of the rings on the Hershey’s kisses! Sarah looks like a model, just lovely. I’m glad the pictures are finally up; I’ve been checking daily! Great job again Tina! Mary and Dawn did a fantastic job; I can’t wait to see how they’ll transform your wedding!

admin - January 17, 2010 - 12:09 pm

Thanks everyone! And Jess, Brad Paisley was the song they danced to for their first dance:)

Jess - January 17, 2010 - 12:02 pm

P.S. I LOVE all of the details that Mary and Dawn created! The room looked awesome! Winter wonderland!

Jess - January 17, 2010 - 11:53 am

OMG i LOVE them!!!! Sarah and Joe look so happy and Sarah looks stunning!! What a great day! Love the PSU pic and I love the pic of Sarah and Mary. Great song choice for the slideshow too (country Tina? Very unlike you, but you know I love it!) Almost cried watching that slideshow…so beautiful!

Kylene - January 17, 2010 - 9:21 am
