vintage wedding at the mansion | jamie+tony

after meeting with jamie+tony a while back to discuss their wedding plans, we knew this event was going to be something unique and special.  we could hardly wait for their wedding day to finally arrive.  jamie has a very classy style with a vintage flare, and we absolutely loved photographing her.

everything started off great when we arrived at their house to meet up with boys as they were getting ready for the big day.  that was until tony received a phone call from his bride-to-be that the girls managed to get themselves a flat tire on the way home from the salon.  when i asked tony if everything would be alright, his response was: “oh sure, jamie knows how to change a flat”.   come to find out, jamie sure did know how to change a flat and proceeded to do just that on the side of the road in her wedding veil and freshly manicured fingers.  gotta love her.  when jamie finally arrived back to the house she was happy as could be, her hands were a bit dirty but she took it all in stride and laughed at the situation.  this rare quality is something lauren and i both love about jamie.  her uplifting spirit is infectious to be around.  tony is one lucky fellow.

the wedding ceremony was held at the gorgeous saint thomas at villanova chapel followed by an amazing reception at the historic cairnwood mansion in bryn athyn pennsylvania.  enjoy.

introducing newlyweds | jamie+tony

the brides hairpiece was custom created by her seamstress, lori matthews of havertown, pa.

grooms suit was ralph lauren from mens wearhouse and the purple tie was from an amazing boutique in philadelphia called andrew’s ties.

this vintage styled wedding dress was a jim hjelm creation.

the brides purple shoes are from the jessica simpson collection, while all the bridesmaids heals are from david’s bridal.

the awesome floral creations were from the talented, carl alan ltd of philadelphia, pa

i highly recommend giving our friend matt blank at synergetic sounds a call about providing the music for your wedding.  he has some of the smoothest transitions i have ever heard.  we have yet to see him at a wedding that he didn’t have the whole place partying like they were rockstars, that includes grandma.. (:

teaser of what’s to come

you may be noticing a few changes to the blog recently.  we’ve been slowly updating our brand and tweaking some things around here on the site.  there are some exciting things in store for the near future, we can’t wait to let it all loose.  pardon any “dust” as we are finalizing the function of the site.  (:

since blog posts are not very fun without a photo:  i thought it would be cool to throw out a little teaser image from jamie+tony’s wedding.  i’m super excited about their full blog post that is right around the corner, stay tuned.

enjoy.

under the boardwalk | antoinette+ricky

antoinette+ricky kicked off our first engagement shoot of 2010 with a bang!  it’s really “hit or miss” to schedule a beach and boardwalk session at the end of february, but we really lucked out with this one.  we had an awesome couple, gorgeous skies, empty beaches, amazing light, and happy vibes.  we even found a lucky dollar that washed up to our feet while we were taking portraits down near the waters edge.  antoinette+ricky took the lucky dollar to harrahs casino that night to see if they could win big!  we haven’t heard anything from them yet, so we’ll just have to assume that they are still on a roll at the slots or the craps table. (:   lauren and i can’t wait for their wedding this summer at congress hall in cape may, nj.  the wedding ceremony will take place on the cape may beach, although we would guess it will be a bit warmer than it was for their engagement session.  2 hours on the beach in 35 degree weather will totally get to your finger tips after awhile (or) toes in ricky’s case, since he was wearing sandals the majority of the time.
