Kim & Chris 08.22.09

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

We just love working with this family! Kim and Chris were the third couple getting married in the last two years. Kim got ready at her parent’s home in Pike Creek and the ceremony and reception took place at the Brandywine Country Club in Wilmington. Working with Shirly is always a pleasure. It was supposed to rain that day, but the rain held off until after the portraits and ceremony. Thank you everyone involved for making this day a success!

Anna & Scott

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

Anna & Scott were such pleasure to work with – fun but relaxed and obviously very much in love. We explored Gibraltar gardens in Wilmington. It was great to work at a slower pace then when we photograph a wedding at that location. We are looking forward to designing awesome Save the Date cards and a sign-in album.
Anna and Scott will be married next fall in Boston and we can’t wait to document their big day.

mike and his team donate their services to an awesome cause!

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

It was Suzette’s and Joseph’s big day! They were married August 14th 2009 at the Deerfield Country Club, Newark, DE. I decided last year to give back to my community and to the members of the Armed Forces. These are the true “HEROS” that protect us and who risk there lives every day so we can be safe here in the US! Suzette and Joseph both belong to the Delaware Army National Guard. We donated ALL of our services to them along with over a dozen other donating vendors from the Wilmington area. It was a VERY special day! A DREAM come true for them! And they deserve it 100%.
