Kendra and Sean were married at Laurita Winery in New Egypt, New Jersey during hurricane Irene. Right before the decision was made to cut the reception short, Kendra and Sean agreed to go down to the wine cellar for a few photos. They turned out to be some of my favorites from the wedding. My second photographer and I were lucky enough to get the last room in a hotel down the road because driving had become too bad. Conroy Catering and Synergetic Sounds weren’t able to get out so they spent the night at Laurita.
I am sure Sean and Kendra were nervous as they looked out the window before seeing each other for the fist time. Both about the first look and the weather!
I spent Saturday with Kendra and Sean and Irene, at Laurita Winery in New Egypt, New Jersey! As the wind and rain from the hurricane were whipping up, Kendra and Sean said their vows inside the cozy winery. Although they had to cut the reception short by a few hours, we were able get through all the formalities before making our way back as far as the hotel in Hamilton NJ. Our friends at Conroy Catering and Synergetic Sounds weren’t able to get out so they spent the night at Laurita. In my opinion, if you can’t get to a hotel in a hurricane, the next best place to be is a winery!! Here are a few images. More will follow in a full post.
Kate and Ryan were married on July 24 at Congress Hall in Cape May. My good friend and talented photographer Heather Fowler contacted me to be her associate photographer for the wedding. Heather is expecting her first child in just a few short weeks and asked if I could shoot this for her, as her due date was getting close. I knew what a wonderful wedding this would be during our planning meeting with Kate and Ryan at Heather’s studio. Best of luck to Kate and Ryan for a long and happy life together and to Heather, Shawn and the new baby. To see more images of this wedding visit Heather’s blog.
Caroline and Adam chose to have their first look in the beautiful backyard gardens of her family home in Bryn Mawr where we stayed for formals.
The shoes Caroline wore were her mother’s wedding shoes dyed blue.
The ceremony was held at St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church in Gladwyne. It was an interfaith Jewish/Episcopal ceremony.
The reception was held at Gulph Mills Golf Club and the fabulous Pam Conly was the wedding planner. Many thanks to Pam and Christi for such a beautiful job!
Crazy Little Thing Called Love by Queen was the first dance and boy did Caroline and Adam tear up the dance floor.
Most of the night was spent dancing to The Big Chill Band, but we were all treated to some special a capella entertainment from The Harvard Low Keys. Caroline and Adam jumped right in.
Pam Conly planned a rose petal and brass exit when the reception ended. Caroline and Adam marched out behind the brass, into the limo and off to their honeymoon in Greece!
The only thin missing from Caroline and Adam’s wedding was Toby the dog. He did have his time in the spot light at the engagement session but I am sure he would have loved to come to the wedding too!
