It is such a honor to be asked to photograph someone's wedding.  After all, it is one of the most important days you will have in life.  I met Matt and Courtney last summer and loved them instantly!  They are a fun and beautiful couple and they just make you laugh listening to them talk.  I was so excited to be asked to capture their wedding day!

Fast forward 10 months.  The big day was here!  I woke up to a cloudy sky and COLD weather!  Cold!  It was May.  It's not supposed to be 50 degrees at the end of May!  Oh well - they say rain on your wedding day is good luck! 

Kacey (my fabulous second shooter for the day) and I arrived to Matt and Courtney's house to photograph the guys getting ready first.  Matt looked exceptional in his dark grey suit and yellow tie. 

Our next stop was Courtney's sister's house to photograph the girls getting ready!  I could not wait for this.  Since I mostly second shoot weddings (something I absolutely love to do) I typically spend most of my time photographing grooms prepping for the big day.  I could not wait to photograph Courtney, her dress and all of the details that go into a wedding day.

Courtney's dress was amazing!  The Sottero and Midgley dress had layers of layers of gorgeous ruffles!  You could tell that it was going to look amazing on Courtney! 

Paired with the stunning Jimmy Choo's, Courtney and Matt had all the makings of a fairy tale wedding! 

There were so many elegant details that went into making this day special - from the bold, stunning colors of the flowers to the tiny little yellow flower girl shoes, this wedding was well thought out and meticulously planned!  {Flowers by:  Village Flower Shop}

It was so much fun photographing Courtney getting ready.  She of course, looked amazing in her dress!  She definitely owes her sister one for lacing up the back of her beautiful gown and her nephew for helping her into her shoes. 

We headed to the beautiful Meredith Manor in Pottstown, Pa where both the ceremony and the reception would be held. 

Here Comes the Bride! 

The new Mr. and Mrs. Chase! 

Following the ceremony, Matt & Courtney took the time for a portrait session!  They were full of continuous smiles!

The reception was held in a tent right outside the main building.  I know that the word tent doesn't conjure up any romantic images in my mind, but some serious magic happens when you hang up tons and tons of twinkling fairy lights!  It could not have looked more beautiful!

All in all and despite the rain and the cold, it was a magical night!

Courtney & Matt - enjoy every moment of married life!  May you always remember this day and fall in love all over again!
