From the day Brittany and Bill offered to “go for a swim” for me in the Delaware River for a photo idea I had during their engagement session, I have just adored this couple. Together for eight years, this light-hearted duo, their family and all their guests had me smiling the whole day through.

They braved the freezing cold, walked three-quarters of a mile, trudged through the mud and prickers, and stood in traffic for me. Needless to say, in the words of Bill, “we worked hard for these photos!” Big thanks to Rob for second shooting this wedding – great job as always.

This first image is a surprise, because I shot it candid as Brittany was staging something for her videographers looking at the dress.

This was my third time shooting at the Skytop and the first time I’ve seen the ceremony done there – we lucked out with the gorgeous Fall day!

It was a bit cold, though, and this is apparently what happens when you keep the family out too long for a formal photo. Judging by the bride and groom’s expression and gesturing, some of these people didn’t know they were supposed to be in the next shot, too. Oops.

These two have been together so long, they are like mirror images of each other…

The reception got a little ridiculous as centerpieces were torn apart and repurposed into party props… I loved every minute of it
