Heather & Brent Winterthur-An American Country Estate

Mike — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 15:42:26 +0000

A nice relaxed summer outdoor wedding with Heather and Brent at Winterthur-An American Country Estate, located in Greenville DE. We started out with Heather getting ready at the couple’s home in Avondale, PA. We had such a great with mom, Heather, and the wonderful bridesmaids. We captured many nice creative shots on their property, a golden wheat field, which was the perfect setting for the feel that Heather loves. The ceremony took place outdoors by the reflecting pool at Winterthur. It was an awesome experience to witness the special event among the gardens and excited guests. Following the ceremony we had some time set aside to be creative and have fun with Heather and Brent! Brent was even given permission to have his special all black Harley ready for a short ride with his new wife! WOW it was great to have the “guy” get his moment too. Later… the reception outdoors in the same location, lots of accent candles, cool mood lighting accenting the party. It was magical. Thanks to Nicole Bailey, and all the efficient and professional staff for making the day work! We LOVE working with you and shooting at Winterthur! We call it “heaven” for photographers! This was the first evening wedding reception by the reflecting pool! Perfect! The food was beautifully presented by Restaurant Associates, I remember the refreshing lime sorbert. Yummy….. And we cannot forget the memorable wedding cake created by Liz Marden- Gourmet Cakes and Desert Inc. PARTY-PARTY & DANCING under the stars to the sounds of Silver Sound from the one and only Steve Croce. Great job! A very special thank you to Larry and Star the Father and mother of the bride and Randy and Ann the parents of the groom. Thanks for making us feel at “home’ with your family and friends.

Happiness, Love, and Health,

An on location baby shoot with a special past wedding client Joe Ceci and Joe Sobota and their 2 week old baby Joseph Dorian “JD” From belly to baby…. several weeks ago we did a belly shoot with Ceci here in the studio.
Little baby Joseph Dorian was sooo cute! Precious and so cuddly! We were on location in their beautifully decorated home that was tastefully and creatively decorated by Ceci who is a designer. The complementing colors and wall textures made great backgrounds. Add awesome window light and the cutest newborn on the planet and WOW! What an amazing shoot we all had! Jana does so well with interacting with the little ones and the new mommies. We both enjoyed photography the joy and happiness on the faces of the new proud parents. It was also very rewarding to see lots of their wedding pics hanging on the walls in beautiful display. Thank you Ceci, Joe and baby JD for letting us into your lives. We hope you like the moments we captured….. enjoy this most precious time in your lives…
