White Clay Creek Country Club, Wilmington, DE Wedding: Tom + Caitlin

I've been anxiously awaiting this day ever since I first met Caitlin and Tom on FaceTime many months ago. I think it clicked when we both realized our mutual love for our pups. Tom and Caitlin have two adorable little terrier girls (Maddie and Marley) and of course, I have my guy, Pixel. Clearly, our dogs HAD to meet during this FaceTime meeting. Next we had a gorgeous engagement session at Brandywine State Park- here's the session. It was here that I saw, in person, how adorable Caitlin and Tom really are! So in love, she affectionately calls him Monkey- I'll hear the story to that one day! The way Tom looks at Caitlin is just enough to start the tears. Needless to say, on their wedding day, there were tears.... not only from the guests, but from behind the camera. 

Caitlin wore a GORGEOUS Maggie Sottero gown. 

Petal Pushers put Caitlin's florals to life- completing her light pink and mojito green color scheme. 

Caitlin was ready to get married down to her nail art- she rocked an "I do" on her ring finger- so adorable!

Caitlin and her girls got ready at the White Clay Creek Country Club.

Girl... just stunning!

Clearly, this is for Tom!

There's no doubt about it- these guys were ready for an entire day of fun!

Caitlin and Tom had such a sweet First Look.

We drove golf carts down to this rustic bridge at White Clay Creek.. yes, golf carts- see below!

We feverishly checked our weather app- luckily, we beat the rain! It started just before the ceremony- on a covered porch.

The storm rolling in made for an expressive sky.

I clung to the back of a golf cart with my second shooter and assistant, as the wedding coordinator drove us around... I'm sure we weren't going very fast, but it always seems a little risky, holding all of your gear, trying to snag a shot, and trying not to fall off!

Even the groom couldn't resist snagging a shot of Caitlin and her dad!

Tom and his mom had a tearjerker of a parent dance- so, so sweet.

Married! We had to include pink of course!

The Merion Wedding, Cinnaminson, NJ: Rob and Laura

As a wedding photographer, you never know how you'll meet your next client. I met Laura's mother when my husband and I closed on our house in August of 2013. I was about to have a baby the next month and life was hectic! (Ps- Never move when you are 30+ weeks pregnant!) Laura's mother was bright, cheery and sharing in the excitement of our new house and soon-to-be new baby! We had plenty of time to talk during closing and she told me her daughter was engaged! Some time went by, and me, Laura and her mother were chatting all about her wedding! It was such a pleasant surprise because Laura and I were such a great match! It's so important to love your wedding photographer because they are going to be next to you so much of the day! Now let's focus on the most important people here- Laura and Rob.

I knew Rob wasn't thrilled about having to commit to being photographed for an hour for an engagement session-honestly, most guys aren't crazy about it... but the results are always the same- they LOVE the photos and they actually had fun! Haha! I love it! We even got to incorporate Rob's killer car for their engagement session AND their wedding day! 

When their wedding day rolled around in late October, it was perfect. There was just a little breeze in the air and the sun was shining. When I walked into Laura and Rob's Palace Ballroom that day, I was taken back. Everything they have been planning was all coming together. Gorgeous centerpieces, tables named after wine, framed artwork of loved ones past, the matching uplighting...  you could tell that they truly poured their souls into all of the planning. It also helps that The Merion, in Cinnaminson, NJ does such a beautiful job setting up their gorgeous ballroom. Laura and Rob saw each other for the first time down the aisle, it's always such an exciting moment, and for me it NEVER gets old. My heart is racing and there's so much excitement in the room! After a beautiful ceremony, we headed to the patio to get some photographs of the bridal party and headed back in so they could enjoy their cocktail hour. This gave me plenty of time to photograph all their gorgeous details. The party started and they had quite a dancefloor. We were able to sneak out to get some wedding photos with Rob's car, which made him so happy! I imagine Rob has a framed photo of this shot in his garage (please tell me yes!). 

As I write this blog post, it was Laura's birthday yesterday, Rob's birthday today, and Valentine's Day tomorrow- these two have a lot to celebrate!
