As with so many other couples, the coronavirus forced Bridgett and Nick to reframe their thinking/planning for their wedding day. Can I tell you what I am really impressed with?

The original plan was a Texas wedding with all of their closest family and friends present. Unfortunately, Covid-19 dictated something different. I know that the last couple of […]

A December Hilton Christiana Wedding

Last weekend I had the privilege of photographing Kristen and Mike’s December Hilton Christiana wedding. This was a ‘last minute’ wedding – but all came together beautifully. The Hilton looked beautiful (as usual!) and festive with all of the holiday decor. December is a beautiful time of year for a wedding! I loved meeting Kristen […]

A Mendenhall Inn Wedding in the Fall

This is a look-back at Scott and Kathy’s beautiful Mendenhall Inn wedding day in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania.  I’ve been updating the blog, and they say you should only keep posts that are at most year old.  I couldn’t get rid of this one!  The prep, first look, ceremony and reception all took place at the […]
