I tell everyone how beautiful the park around the corner from my house is, waterfall and all. Is this couple too cute! It rained on their engagement shoot so I think this guarantees them a sunny wedding day! I will be photographing their very grand wedding next September at the Four Seasons in Philadelphia.

As I said in the last post, Andalusia was picture perfect on it’s own, but with the elegant florals and décor by Beautiful Blooms it was just so full of country charm. Meredith had a vision of simple country charm in white and I think it was perfectly executed. Everyone danced the night away to the fab music of the Sid Miller Dance Band. I must say they possess some of the best singers and musicians!
It was my first time photographing a wedding at Andalusia and it was such a delight. It’s beautiful Greek Revival architecture, mature gardens and spectacular views of the Delaware River made it a photographers dream. What a perfect setting it was for my elegant couple, Meredith and Michael. They had so many varied and beautiful portraits I thought I would do a post dedicated to portraits. Check back later this week for their beautiful garden cocktail hour and tented reception.
I knew it was love when I saw Merediths very unique Pnina Tornai gown. She had Kleinfelds in NYC customize her gown with cap sleeves. I think that cap sleeves are one of the most feminine and flattering of styles. Meredith had an amazing chignon hair style executed perfectly by Jason Tavares of Pierre & Carlo Salon in Philadelphia. I adored it! Meredith had a beautiful classic design to all her wedding stationary, the acorn to the oak. Her letterpress stationary was all designed by Two Paperdolls. Meredith even presented her groom with a pair of cufflinks with their signature mighty tree. Meredith and Michaels wedding was held at Our Lady of Good Counsel Roman Catholic Church in Moorestown, NJ, a beautiful and colorful historic church. I can wait to show you their beautiful reception at the most beautiful estate, Andalusia.
