The Waterfall, Claymont, DE Wedding: Tom + Heather
Tom and Heather were married early December- although it felt like early October! I met Heather and Tom last year at their snowy engagement session at Carousel Park in Delaware- take a look here. They are such a fun couple and so adorable together! When I found out I was pregnant this spring, Heather was one of the first people I told! Her wedding was the last of the 2015 wedding season and I didn't want to let her down. We came up with a plan to bring a second photographer (which is pretty standard) as well as a third photographer to take my place should I need to be whisked away to the hospital. You never know when babies will come and since I was 34 weeks pregnant, there was no room to play around, although I would have been in good hands- Heather and so many of her friends are nurses :) Turns out the day of her wedding I felt better than I normally did, and pretty much forgot I was pregnant! It was really awesome having the addition of two other fabulous primary photographers to get not one, but two additional perspectives (and a bunch of extra photos for Heather and Tom). We did all of the bridal party photos at gorgeous Gibraltar, a country estate home with garden areas and fun architecture. We were running out of time before the sun was due to set, but with such an awesome and cooperative bridal party, we were able to capture the amazing colors of the sun setting. Next we were off to a local attraction- Santa's house, for some festive photos with Christmas lights. Lastly, we were off to the Waterfall in Claymont Delaware for their reception- the same place Heather's parents were married- how sweet! It was an unforgettable evening for Heather, Tom, and all of their guests as they danced the night away. I'm so happy I could be a part of it (and have their wedding completely edited and in their hands before the baby comes!)

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!

Even the groom couldn't resist snagging a shot of Caitlin and her dad!
Tom and his mom had a tearjerker of a parent dance- so, so sweet.
Married! We had to include pink of course!

Carousel Park, Delaware Engagement: Heather & Tom
I love everything about Heather & Tom's wedding plans. Their wedding will be my first December wedding and of course we are all hoping for just a pinch of those big, fluffy snowflakes that make for gorgeous photos- but not too many! I was so excited when Heather told me she wanted a snowy engagement session. We started watching the weather forecast and hoping for snow. It would be predicted... then it didn't snow, and again... and again... until finally one day IT HAPPENED! We met at a gorgeous location that Heather and Tom found, Carousel Park in Wilmington, Delaware. Highlights of their engagement session included a large party of feathered friends that crashed a couple of photos (see below), as well as a soft, dusk sky to end the session. Heather and Tom were willing to do just about anything to get the shot including not wearing jackets for quite some time, holding snow, and handling wildlife (well, almost). I'm so excited to see these two again, on their wedding day!
Brandywine State Park Engagement: Caitlin & Tom
I love the winter nights- coffee, warm blankets, and blogging. I'm so happy I get to share the fabulous engagement session between Caitlin and Tom tonight. Caitlin and Tom choose the Brandywine State Park for their engagement session- little did I know how stunning of a setting they chose and how adorable the two of them are together. I knew I liked them from the very beginning- our FaceTime consultation. They showed me their two, adorable Yorkie pups, so I had to grab Pixel (my little old man Yorkie) and the rest is history- maybe we'll have a puppy play date soon... But seriously, Caitlin and Tom were amazing and we seriously shot until the sun went down... and then for ten more minutes after (or else I would have kept going). I cannot wait until their wedding in September at White Clay Creek!
