Today’s my anniversary! I owe so much to so many people for making the wedding of my dreams happen, and none more than my wonderful husband, Mitch. We have a beautiful baby (read: our pitbull) and our first two years of marriage couldn’t have been better!
Our wedding was at The Brookside Manor at Somerton Springs.What a great spot for a winter wedding! It has some great indoor facilities that we decked out in red and white. There were even some touches alluding to Mitch’s and my love of football.
We got some great pictures on the manor’s grounds, too. One tip I have for winter brides: work some fur into your ensemble! My white capelet kept me nice and toasty while we took portraits outside, and I know my bridesmaids appreciated the black ones I used to accent their red dresses.
My capelet also made a great backdrop for ring shots. Thanks to Amanda Young of Swoon Over It Photography for your creativity!
By the way, Amanda and I have kept in touch–I did an interview with her about her business last week, and she’s doing great! Another vendor and friend of mine, Tina of Make Me Glam, did my makeup. And in case you’re wondering, yes, I did design my own Philadelphia custom wedding stationery.
Here’s another great photo with a few of my gorgeous bridesmaids: that’s Danielle laughing on the left, Karol with the camera, and Melania all the way on the right.
This is one of my favorite bridal portraits!
Another great one: me and Mitch holding an ampersand sign.
Another cute portrait of us in front of Brookside Manor’s beautiful gazebo. I love the garlands and twinkly lights!
Our reception was a blast. Brookside Manor has such elegant facilities, and this photo captures their warmth–and the warmth of having all our family and friends there to celebrate our big day.
That’s all for now–keep an eye out later this month for an upcoming feature! That’s all I can say for now!
Mitch, I love you so much! I’m so happy to have spent the last two years as your wife, and I can’t wait to spend the rest of our lives together.
I’m a little late wishing it on here, but HAPPY ANNIVERSARY (again)! You know it was the time of my life getting to capture it for you. Such a fun day! 🙂
Aww thank you Amanda, you are so sweet!!! Thank you again for capturing the best day of my life! <3
