Congress Hall Cape May Wedding Photographer: Vinny & Cassie
When I photographed Cassie and Vinny's engagement session in Philadelphia this past winter- I instantly fell for them. They are a "cool" couple- how "uncool" does this make me sound? Let me explain... they know every worthy place to visit in Philly. Their engagement session was anything but typical. They planned out three very specific locations- Philadelphia's Magic Gardens (maybe one of the coolest mosaic art galleries EVER), Percy Street Bar (one of the best BBQ restaurants), and Tattooed Mom (a bar with graffiti everywhere)- can you say, a photographer's dream? Not only are they total foodies, they also love to travel together and have been all over the globe. See- you totally want to be friends with them now. Did I mention their dance moves?? Well, you'll just have to see for yourself. Besides all of the aforementioned facts that make them awesome- they have a love for each other that is just adorable to see in person. During their First Look- I was teary eyed behind my camera. Have I mentioned I love First Looks? Enough already- take a look at their colorful wedding at one of the coolest venues I've had the privilege to shoot- Congress Hall in Cape May.
Abbie Holmes Estate Wedding Photographer: Tricia & Steve's Nautical Wedding
Some of my favorite moments from Tricia and Steve's wedding day... Tricia's excitement as she slipped into her gown- you could tell she felt absolutely gorgeous and ready to get married. Tricia as she chatted with her best friends, just minutes before the ceremony, the porch filled with laughter and well wishes. The moment Tricia's father walked her down the aisle, I got goosebumps, the expressions on their faces- full of emotion. Steve's smile as Tricia walked toward him and joined hands at the end of the aisle. The contagious smiles as they exchanged vows. Steve asking me if his wedding ring belonged on his left or right hand.
I feel so honored to be a part of their story and to capture it, as I saw it. Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Buganski, you deserve all the happiness in the world!
Abbie Holmes Estate Wedding Photographer: Tricia & Steve Sneak Peek
Tricia & Steve tied the knot yesterday- here's a little preview!
Sea Isle City Engagement Photographer: Tricia & Steve
The smell of the sea. The sound of seagulls flying overhead. The gentle rocking beneath my feet. Tricia and Steve's engagement session was unlike any other I've experienced before. As I climbed aboard the Two Dukes, Steve explained how he spends days out at sea fishing lobster on this very boat, also apart from Tricia for days at a time. Tricia and Steve have been together since high school. There are constant smiles, jokes, and playfulness that will last a lifetime. Tomorrow they will exchange their vows and start a new chapter of life together, and I couldn't be more honored to capture it for them.
Peddler's Village Engagement: Melissa & Dustin
We had a gorgeous day for Melissa & Dustin's engagement session. First we started off doing a walk through at their gorgeous wedding venue- Carinwood Estate- so I could check out all of the fabulous photo ops on their big day. Next, we headed to Peddler's Village for the sweetest engagement session, we visited Melissa's favorite book shop, and even met a friendly old photographer.. who kept following us. But seriously... it was fun! I cannot wait until their big day in June!
Valenzano Winery Wedding: Ashley & Tim: Part 2
On a sunny (and very windy) April day, Ashley and Tim exchanged vows at Valenzano Winery. Prior to their ceremony, they met at Kirby's Mill in Medford, for a first look, and to get some fun shots with their bridal party. After the vows, EVERYONE danced the night away. I love photographing weddings like this! Such a lively celebration for the new Mr & Mrs! Congrats again Ashley and Tim!
