DELAWARE MANSION FIRST LOOK

Happy Monday! Michaela and Aaron were married last weekend. Neal and one of our assistants, Alyssa, photographed their wedding. (I had my own wedding to photograph that day). They decided to do a first look at the Delaware Mansion. They got ready there and had their reception at the Mansion as well.

It was a beautiful day. The courtyard was the perfect place for a first look. Everything was in bloom and the ivy was covering the brick walls. Neal had Aaron wait in the courtyard with his back to where Michaela would walk to see him. She came down the walk and tapped him on the shoulder. Aaron was in awe of how amazing Michaela looked. She was gorgeous. 

Neal decided to capture this moment through the trees and greenery when Michaela got close to Aaron. I love the approach he took on this. All of the trees framed them right in. And I really like the window on the left. I like how the ivy covers almost everything, but left that exposed!

I had Neal tell me all about his wedding when he got home, so I got all of the details for the day. So, now I am able to write up the blogs for his wedding. (In case you were wondering why it was me haha)

Amazing first look!

2 special moments in one photo

Neal here again to talk about my wedding with Allison & Daniel at The Columns. If you follow me on Facebook you would have already seen this photo from what it looked like in my camera. I took a photo of my camera's lcd screen of this photo and now here's the final version.

What makes this photo special? This was the exact moment that Daniel saw Allison as she and her dad turned down the aisle all in one shot! 

While Allison's bridesmaids were walking down the aisle I noticed that from my angle I could see Daniel standing there in the reflection of the mirror. Instead of turning around to shoot Daniel, I used the mirror to my advantage, tt was great to capture two important moments in one photo!

FIRST LOOK AT HOTEL AT THE LAFAYETTE

Melissa and Mary had their wedding and reception at Hotel at the Lafayette. Their ceremony room looked amazing and we thought it would be great for them to have a first look there.

We had Melissa up front near the altar with her back to the aisle. Then had Mary walk in through the drapery. It was so beautiful! Mary has such a big smile walking in. Melissa is just patiently waiting. As Mary made her way in, we had Melissa turn around. It was so emotional as well. They were both laughing and crying all at the same time.

I also love the colors in the room. They had a pink ombre color scheme. You can see it in the flowers, but if you look close, the chairs are different shades of pink as well. Great idea!

We love when couples decide to do a first look. This means they see each other for the first time before their actual ceremony. This is a nice intimate moment between them. They get to talk to each other and find out how each others day went so far. They just get some quality time together before the craziness begins. We love capturing these photos!
