Winter wedding at Delaware Mansion

Since Danielle talked about my image yesterday, I (Neal) am taking over the blog for the day to talk about an image she took at her wedding!

I wasn't there because I was working my own wedding at the Columns but I'm glad that Danielle, Shane, Sarah & Aaron went outside and took advantage of the white puffy snow during the day. 

This is such a beautiful image. The lighting, the pose and the connection between Sarah & Aaron warms this winter photo up. You can feel the love and the fact that they exchanged vows only minutes before... Great job to everyone involved in creating this image. This is the kind of image that will make a beautiful print or will take up an entire page in an album. Just sayin'! :-)

Wedding at Delaware Mansion

Sorry for the delay folks. To be honest, this past week our timing has been a bit off. My brother and family were visiting from California. We do not get to see them often, so most of our time was spent with our 2 and 5 year old nieces. There was lots of coloring, barbies, fairies, games, and dress up. We had so much fun and it was sad to see them return home today. But enough of that haha!

Sarah on her wedding day at the Mansion on Delaware! The room Sarah got ready in was great. I love this room for the bride. The windows are placed perfectly, with so much light coming in. Now, on Sunday I showed you the same pose that Neal had taken. Here it is again. You can see how different each bride is and the settings are different. 

Sarah had a more antique style dress without a long train. But this pose still works lovely with her. She had a very thin satin dress with a stunning bodice. With a turn of the head and hand on the hip, another lovely image was captured!

And to top it all off, her mother actually made her bouquet. (She made everyone's bouquets). She did an amazing job!

WEDDING AT THE MANSION ON DELAWARE

I am back this morning! Before we headed outside in the snow, Sarah and Aaron requested we do some photos inside the Mansion on Delaware!

The front rooms in the Mansion are beautiful both day and night. During the day, the light pours in the giant windows. At night, they light up from the street lights outside. Tonight, this room looked amazing with the snow falling.

Shane and I moved a little bit of the furniture, but kept the chairs and small table behind them. We also chose to keep the tree on the table. It looked great in the back ground. And it was super heavy to move. Now all we needed was a little extra light on Sarah and Aaron's faces. Shane was actually hiding in the corner with a light.

Then they leaned in and had a kiss!

END OF THE NIGHT KISS

We bring you one more snowy photo from Sarah and Aaron's wedding at the Mansion on Delaware!

This was the last shot of the night. The weather was getting a little worse and we had to work fast. Why not have Sarah and Aaron snuggle up really close and have a kiss!

Even though the Mansion is pretty lit up at night, I did have to use a light behind them. I love how it lit up the tree and gave an icy glow in the background. 

What a great way to end then night and the first wedding of the season!

SNOWY NIGHT AT DELAWARE MANSION

Hi readers! I am back! Thank you to Neal for writing up his photo yesterday! It would have been pretty hard for me to blog about a wedding I wasn't at!

While Neal was shooting at the Columns Banquet Facility, I was photographing Sarah and Aaron at the Mansion on Delaware. I had the pleasure of having Shane (you should all remember Shane) as my assistant. We had such a great time. The day started out sunny and beautiful. Then the next thing we see is a blizzard outside. To be honest, I did not think the snow was going to happen. But, I was sure happy when it did for photos!

During the reception, I went outside to get some ideas for photos. I love the Delaware Mansion at night when it is all lit up. With the snow coming down, it looked beautiful. Earlier in the day, Sarah wasn't so sure about going outside in the snow for pictures. Lucky for us, as the night progressed, she was ready and willing to tackle the elements!

Shane and I had everything ready to go when Sarah and Aaron came out. All I needed to do was run across Delaware Avenue! Traffic was pretty slow, thank goodness, but the road was so slippery. I was praying I would not fall. I made it across with no slips! After some yelling across the street to Shane (he stayed with the couple) for a few adjustments, Sarah and Aaron looked perfect! I am so happy they toughed it out for this beautiful image!

Neal here, I have to chime in to say how beautiful this image is! I have to give Danielle and Shane kudo's on capturing it perfectly. It looks even better in high resolution and can't wait to see this in print! Danielle's lens choice was on point choosing a 50mm prime. I love how I can have my team working without me and creating beautiful images like this! Congrats to Sarah & Aaron!
