Bridget & Michael were married July 12th at St. Agnes Church in West Chester, PA followed by a fabulous reception at the Hotel DuPont, in the du Barry Room. We made a pit stop at Longwood Gardens as well, for some picture time with just the Bride & Groom.
Bridget was just too cute for words! She smiled non-stop the entire day. :) I don't think I've ever seen such an excited/happy/giddy/carefree bride in my life and it was just such a joy to be around her! There was just no way you could be around her and NOT have a smile on your own face. :) Michael tried to retain his stately and dignified appearance, but whenever Bridget wrapped her arms around him, he couldn't hide his boyish grin. She has that effect on him and its just adorable. :)
Anyway...on to the pix!
A Few Details:
Love the detail on the gown...
Getting Ready:
I love her joyful expressions!
Yes, girls, the dress CAN go over the head without disturbing your hair and makeup.
;) Just need a few helping hands!
You can tell that Bridget was thoroughly enjoying each step in the process.
Off to the church!
The Ceremony:
Michael...moments before seeing his bride for the first time.
All Smiles...All Day. :)
St. Agnes is a pretty dark church but I love the wood ceiling detail.
Christy got a great angle on them during the recessional, from the balcony.
I love this fisheye shot of them just before they exited the church.
The Portraits:
Fun & quirky Bridal Party = Fun & very non-traditional pix!
I simply love this image. Can't pinpoint why but I just love it.
This big round bench was so cool for a wide angle shot.
We spent some time at the Chimes Tower at Longwood Gardens.
I love how this image looks like its from the 50's.
Bridget & Michael were totally up for my crazy ideas, like spinning her around with that long train. teehee :)
...and you can see from Christy's shot here, that they had a lot of fun doing it too!
Cathedral veils allow for some really awesome shots like this one.
The Reception:
This lovely lavender monogram appeared many times throughout
the day, on programs, menu cards and favor boxes.
Their first dance was a beautifully choreographed ballroom dance.
Michael gave a touching speech honoring his wife.
A fun time was certainly had by all.
The Chatterband kept the dance floor packed the ENTIRE night! They were
awesome and one of their singers sounded JUST LIKE Frank Sinatra.
This shot is during one of the final songs of the night.
A lovely lavender color palette and a sweet and simple diamond ring.
