New York Wedding Photographer at the Phoenixville Foundry

You may remember Lindsay and Mike from their engagement session aka Get to Know You session. They are huge wine lovers and had a tuscan themed wedding with food and wine pairings during cocktail hour, sunflowers on the table, and specially designed olive oil bottles and home made wine for the guest gifts. Lindsay and Mike also LOVE dessert so they had a candy bar, chocolate fountain and a cotton candy machine. Lindsay and Mike said their ceremony was very important to them and they wanted everyone to feel relaxed and have a great time. From the looks of the dance floor, I think they achieved their goal.

My fave part of this image is the clock- she will always remember what time it was

It was freezing out! But it still looks like autumn and we caught the last few rays of sunshine.

I love that so many people are using different size tables for their reception. The varying sizes and shapes add interest to the room.

Sneaked out for a few pictures under the pagoda. What a trooper Lindsay was! I think it was like 30 degrees that night. I had my coat and scarf on.

I am heading over to photograph the Wedding Party with Martha Stewart Weddings for Newlywish, Lindsay Landman Events, Merci New York and Gabriella Bridal however I wanted to post that the new issue of Knot Magazine published Donna and Chad’s wedding at the Phoenixville Foundry. The spreads looks gorgeous. Thank you so much, Knot Magazine!

Get to Know You session- Laura and Dave

Laura and Dave were just married in Cape May but a few weeks back we met up and did their GTKY session. It was my first time meeting them as they live in California. Laura was so super sweet and works for Calvin Klein while Dave works for the Coast Guard. A typical military man it took a lot of cajoling to get him to relax. I think we finally did it at the end of the shoot.

Donna and Chad – Phoenixville Foundry

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing Donna and Chad’s wedding. The outdoor ceremony was held at Donna’s parents house. The view was stunning: rolling hills, green trees, blue skies and just the right amount of shade. Donna added so many little personal details and everyone commented how this wedding was so them. The other really cool thing! Chad gave Donna a red scooter for her present!

The reception was held at the Phoenixville Foundry. As usual, Bob Tomasso and his staff pulled off a flawless event.

The flowers were done by Ilonka Comstock who did very simple but modern chic flowers.

Of course, the day went off without a hitch thanks to Erin Proud of Proud to Plan. She organized, prepped, placed, chased and smiled the whole time. Erin is so much fun to work with and very talented at her job. When the day runs smoothly and no one(even the other vendors) hears about anything going awry, that is a sign of a good planner.

Some cool detail shots!

Donna found this telegram among her parents things. It is a telegram from her dad to her mom when they were dating. They met when he was in the hospital and she was one of his nurses.

Donna’s sister helped her with make-up and getting ready. Her sister used to be a dancer so we had lots to talk about.

I just love the light and composition in this picture. Donna is heading down to see Chad for the first time.

This may not be the most technical or beautifully composed photo but I just love the emotion. Chad must have looked at and embraced Donna like this at least 20 times that day. You can just feel the love he has for her.

The long walk with dad down the pathway to the ceremony

I was so excited that I caught this. Instead of the typical hug or handshake, Donna’s dad gave Chad the high five! Her dad is such a prankster! When I called because I couldn’t find their road, he answered as if he was a store and I thought I dialed the wrong number and called back twice.

I have never seen this done before and would love to see it again. They handed off the wedding rings to the first guest and it circulated throughout the ceremony. Each guest held and blessed the rings before returning them for the vows. What a unique and personal way of involving everyone.

Chad’s brother did the ceremony and really screwed up the lines. I think he said, “Chad do you take Donna to be your husband”

Donna acquired these vases from the Guggenheim Museum

They borrowed an old cadillac and I had to get Chad in front of it. There is another photo of him sitting in the car in front of the house and it looks like a 1950′s commercial for the American Dream (car, house, kids)
