Sarah + Dmitry || Cape May, NJ

For the longest time, we’ve dreamt of being invited to a wedding in Cape May… and this past weekend, our dreams came true.

We’re so thankful that Sarah and Dmitry asked us to document their big day. The wedding day events all took place within historic Cape May– a gorgeous New Jersey beach community most famously for it’s Victorian architecture and shore town charm. They spent the morning getting ready at Hotel Macomer, followed by the wedding ceremony at the nearby Cape Island Baptist Church (in line with tradition, the church staff rang the tower bell to celebrate their nuptials). We journeyed through downtown Cape May & as far as the Historic Cape May Lighthouse for some portraits, before heading back to the Union Park Restaurant for an evening full of celebration. The rest of the night was filled with memorable toasts, keyboard performances dedicated to the bride + groom, dancing and a whole lot more dancing.

Below are some of our favorite moments from the day… and in no particular order, we’ll share with you some of them. We loved how Sarah and Dmitry exchanged handwritten letters to eachother. Dmitry’s best man was his son; we enjoyed watching how close of a bond they had together. A definite tear-jerking moment for us took place moments after the wedding ceremony had ended. Bride + groom had just exited the church sanctuary, and the best man quickly catches up to them. Without saying a word, the young man embraces his father with both arms.

Enjoy the preview below, and follow us on facebook to see more of our work! Congratulations once again to Sarah and Dmitry.

Gayatri + Shiva (Day 1 of 2) || Darien, IL

We’re proud to feature Day 1 of Gayatri + Shiva’s traditional Hindu wedding celebration.

Of the 100+ weddings that we’ve had the opportunity to photograph over the last few years, we can recall only one other instance where we have started photographing before 5am. This Thursday celebration began bright and early around 4am. What began as a super-early start quickly transformed into an incredibly fun (yet rewarding) day of colors, celebration, laughs, and tradition. From the early morning wedding ceremony at the renowned Hindu Temple of Greater Chicago to the myriad of rich colors + textures, G + S’s wedding ceremony was simply unforgettable. We finished off the afternoon with a delicious vegetarian lunch banquet. Special thanks to Matt of  MSW Photos for assisting me on this day.

Creativity After Dark || Titusville, PA

We met up with LJ and Phil for part two of their engagement session. Waited till it got dark, set up some strobes,  and had some fun. Photo #1 had sparklers, and Photo #2 had an iPhone 4s Flashlight.

We can’t wait to photograph their wedding in Hawaii this summer!
