White Clay Creek Country Club, Wilmington, DE Wedding: Tom + Caitlin
I've been anxiously awaiting this day ever since I first met Caitlin and Tom on FaceTime many months ago. I think it clicked when we both realized our mutual love for our pups. Tom and Caitlin have two adorable little terrier girls (Maddie and Marley) and of course, I have my guy, Pixel. Clearly, our dogs HAD to meet during this FaceTime meeting. Next we had a gorgeous engagement session at Brandywine State Park- here's the session. It was here that I saw, in person, how adorable Caitlin and Tom really are! So in love, she affectionately calls him Monkey- I'll hear the story to that one day! The way Tom looks at Caitlin is just enough to start the tears. Needless to say, on their wedding day, there were tears.... not only from the guests, but from behind the camera.
Caitlin wore a GORGEOUS Maggie Sottero gown.
Petal Pushers put Caitlin's florals to life- completing her light pink and mojito green color scheme.
Caitlin was ready to get married down to her nail art- she rocked an "I do" on her ring finger- so adorable!
Caitlin and her girls got ready at the White Clay Creek Country Club.
Girl... just stunning!
Clearly, this is for Tom!
There's no doubt about it- these guys were ready for an entire day of fun!
Caitlin and Tom had such a sweet First Look.

We drove golf carts down to this rustic bridge at White Clay Creek.. yes, golf carts- see below!
We feverishly checked our weather app- luckily, we beat the rain! It started just before the ceremony- on a covered porch.
The storm rolling in made for an expressive sky.
I clung to the back of a golf cart with my second shooter and assistant, as the wedding coordinator drove us around... I'm sure we weren't going very fast, but it always seems a little risky, holding all of your gear, trying to snag a shot, and trying not to fall off!

The Flanders Hotel Bridal Show
When I saw there was a bridal show coming to The Flanders Hotel in Ocean City, NJ- I knew I wanted to be a part of it. The Flanders is one of my favorite places to shoot, and it's also where my husband and I were married four years ago- needless to say, it holds a very special place in my heart. The architecture is gorgeous, the staff is friendly, the food is delicious, and the hotel rooms will make you wonder if you could somehow live there forever.
So... what do you bring to a bridal show? Here's my list!
- various professionally printed canvases
-new prints for frames
-my Best of Weddings 2015 plaque from The Knot
-lots of delicious chocolate
-a cake stand to display my new adorable, mini business cards from Moo, and wedding collection packages
-fresh, pink flowers
-an iMac displaying my favorite work
I met some awesome fellow vendors, as well as some fun brides planning their dream weddings.
Here's my display in all of it's glory at The Flanders Hotel! Don't you just love my mannequin neighbor? I was next to a fun group- Boogie Nights from Atlantic City.
Here are some of the details- canvases, prints, my new business cards, and albums- all ingredients of a successful bridal show.
