Vanessa and Martin - Married Cherry Hill, NJ

On the limo ride from the hotel to the reception I told Vanessa that I think we were seperated at birth. I knew as soon as I saw the shoes that she and the bridesmaids were wearing I knew it was going to be a good day. Vanessa had all my favorite things on her wedding day... colored shoes (in pink!), sparkles, an amazing dress, and she had the Britney station playing on Pandora. Could this day get any better? Well.. it did. I have to say that I felt more like a wedding guest that just happened to be photographing the day than I did the hired vendor. The bridesmaids felt like friends, and Vanessa and Martin even had a little table for us at the reception. Vanessa looked so gorgeous, and I couldn't wait to see the look on Martins face as she was heading down the aisle. We took advantage of the snow we got that day, and got a few snowy portraits right before the party started.I also took what my be my all time favorite bridal party picture... in a hallway of all places... It was such a great day. I hope you guys are enjoying Vegas!

My flower girl Victoria... growing up

Almost 5 years ago when I asked Victoria to be the flower girl in our wedding I also made a commitment to be part of her life and be there for her for her big events. Sometimes you meet people who you just know were meant to be part of your life. Victoria, her little sister Amanda and her parents Michelle and Chuck are those people to us. We have been so lucky to be there for birthdays, holy communions, holidays and now.... the dance. I can't believe how much these little girls have grown up. So, when Michelle called me to see if I could be there for Victoria's dance, I couldn't wait to see her all dressed up. Its crazy that the little girl who impressed everyone at my wedding with her dance moves was so grown up and ready for her own dance. I look forward to all the good times we have ahead of us with these guys.

Michelle and Steve - Married Running Deer Golf Club

What a way to close out my 2011 wedding season then with an awesome couple with a unique style. If I had to describe Michelle on her wedding day, I would say that she was my rock and roll barbie doll. They didn't miss a thing when it came to the look and feel of the wedding from the cake topper, to the black birdcage veil, lace gloves, and some black sparkly shoes. The flowers were a perfect fit, and were done by one of my favorite florists Savannah's Garden.

The night before Michelle and Steve's wedding I went to the midnight showing of Twilight Breaking Dawn. For anyone who has been reading this blog for a while you know how much of a Twilight fan I am, and that I am a sucker for a love story. So, I felt that what could be a better way then to show off a real life love story then to put together a slideshow to close out my wedding season. Of course, I still had the Twilight movie on the brain. I used that as my inspiration when putting this together, and used the song that Bella walked down the aisle to. So from a movie wedding to a real life one, check out this perfect wedding day.

Sneek Peek- Michelle and Steve

So, i'm working on a new blog post, but I couldn't help but share one of my favorites as a little sneek peek

Michele and Dan -Married Talamore Country Club Ambler, PA

Michele and Dan really got the most perfect fall day for a wedding. The fall colors outside really just added to the feel of the whole day. Dan and Michele chose to do a first look at the Joseph Ambler Inn, and I think I could have stayed there all day for photos. We got a chance to do some photos outside the country club before the ceremony as well, and we got some great light to work with. Michele looked so gorgeous, and I could tell that Dan thought the same thing as soon as he saw her all dressed in white. The wedding ceremony and reception were held at the Talamore Country Club in Ambler, PA. The ceremony was very personal and both Dan and Michele's vows mentioned their super cute Boston Terrier pup Barkley. You probably remember Barkley from earlier this year when he was in their engagement photos. One thing about this crowd was that they knew how to party. The dance floor was completely packed, and everyone was having a great time. I hope you guys had a great time on your honeymoon Dan and Michele!
