I. LOVED. THIS. WEDDING!
Kevin + Erin were recommended to me by the sweetest past classmate of mine (shout out to Lucy! You’re the best!) + I’m so happy that she did. Their wedding was at a beautiful venue in Delaware + it was one of the few weddings where I hadn’t yet gotten to know my couple like I usually do due to distance. It was such a breath of fresh air when I finally met these two - not only are they unbelievably good looking but also so laid back, genuine + sweet. I knew it within moments of meeting them. I also knew within moments of meeting them that is wedding was going to be one for the books. And it was.
After a crazy photoshoot with the guys (which involved a lot of beer and a lot of butt grabbing), my second shooter and I set up a First Look. When Kevin turned around and saw his fiancé for the first time - goodness - just look at the look in his eyes! I’ve never seen two people so in love + so happy when they finally were able to wrap their arms around each other. From there we captured some of my favorite Bridal Party/Couples portraits to date. (Mark my words - one of these images WILL be gracing my studio!) Between some great people, a very unique location + amazing outfit choices I was jumping up and down with excitement over how stinkin’ good these shots turned out. Kevin + Erin’s ceremony was intimate with a candle lit ambience. This was the first time I saw the flower girls and their INCREDIBLE tutus and the ring bearers in their cute little tuxes! Erin’s brother-in-law officiated the wedding + it was such a beautiful touch that made the ceremony that much more special. From there, the party started!
I’ve never had so much to photograph at a reception! This group of people knew how to have fun + I was never at a loss for what to capture. The DJ also commented on how this was the best dressed group of people he had ever seen. I think my favorite moment had to be when Kevin emerged from under Erin’s dress when grabbing her garter belt with his mouth to his Father-in-Law standing over him glaring at him… Haha! (Make sure you check out the pictures of it below because it was hilarious!) We were also able to stow away for a moment to capture a few nighttime shots - something that I must start doing more often!
I took away so much positivity from the Ralph’s nuptials. It was so blatantly obvious throughout the whole night just how loved these two are. Every toast and speech mentioned their caring nature, their love for their dog-baby, how hardworking they are, + how in love they are. From spending the day with them, I could whole heartedly agree with those statements.
Enjoy many favorites from their Big Day <3
