Abby & Rob | Mendenhall Inn Wedding

Abby & Rob were married at the Mendenhall Inn, in Pennsylvania, on an unfortunately wet and rainy day. The rain couldn't stop these two love birds from being completely enamored with each other though. It was a rare occurrence that you would catch either of them NOT smiling. Rain or shine, they were getting married and that's all that mattered to them. No sir, even rain itself could not rain on their parade!

Abby started the day at Sharif Zaki salon, in Greenville, DE, for her hair and makeup.

All finished! Off to the Mendenhall Inn!


Normally I only post one ring shot but I had a wee bit too much fun shooting theirs,
so I couldn't choose which to show!




Abby's dress had gorgeous gold detailing.


Most brides wear long, dangling earrings, but Abby had these simple and beautiful pearl & peridot post earrings, which forced me to be a bit creative. I thought it would be interesting to thread them through the holes on her shoe buckle! I love how it turned out!


I think this is my new fav shoe shot!


Pearls with a modern twist. Pun intended.




Abby's corset back gown had a hidden zipper just to the left of the corset. GENIUS!! Ladies, keep this in mind if you love the look of the corset gown but hate the time involved!


I love capturing wonderful candid portraits of the bride, while they are preoccupied with the various stages (hair, makeup, getting dressed) of preparation on their wedding day.




We made use of the yummy window light for some bridal portraits.




I skipped on over - okay, you got me, I didn't literally skip! - to Rob's room, down the hall, to catch a few candids of him putting on the finishing touches before seeing his bride.


I had to keep reminding Rob NOT to look at my smile every time I pointed the camera his way. LOL He was just so happy and wanted his pictures to show it! He was so calm, collected and excited to marry Abby!




All smiles, All day!


Is this not the most amazing hydrangea you've ever seen?! Such a luscious green color! Oh and they smelled sooooo good. Yukie did an amazing job, as always.


These two are so cute and cuddly, I just wanna pinch their cheeks! Ok, maybe not really...but they ARE cute and cuddly, aren't they?!




We made due under the overhang until the rain slowed to a light drizzle. Abby & Rob were such troopers to go out and shoot in it for a few mins.


Such awesome natural expressions here...




First kiss as Mr. & Mrs.!


Ohhh the cake was so preeeetty!


How freakin' awesome are Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head?!


...complete with a classic newlywed sign!


First dance...


I told ya....allllll smiles. :)


I just love this shot that my assistant, Patience, got during the blessing!


There's always ONE guy at every wedding with the crazy dance moves. LOL


Abby's Dad and Stepmom were a well-oiled dancing machine! They were so graceful on the dance floor. Truth be told, I did take a couple minutes and just WATCH them glide around the dance floor because it was so fascinating.






I was packing up my gear when I saw this guy on the table across the room and couldn't help but to run over and catch this before I left. Interesting ending to the night!


Thanks Abby & Rob for allowing us into your families for a day! Thanks also go to Patience for helping out and assisting me on such short notice! :)
