My first impressions of Carolyn and Mike were, cute, fun, and sweet as pie! They have three precious children between them, and I have to say, they must be the LUCKIEST kids on the planet to have Carolyn and Mike for parents! In fact, if they were my parents, I would bring these wedding photos of theirs to show-and-tell just to brag about how cool my family is \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Their wedding was held this past Friday, Sept. 23, at Normandy Farm<\/a> in Blue Bell, PA. This venue had so much character, which I really wanted to embrace with my detail shots. Thankfully, Carolyn gave me plenty of time for “getting ready” and I was able to achieve just that!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As expected, Carolyn made the most beautiful bride. Not only did her Sottero-Midgely gown look absolutely perfect on her, it got the BEST reaction from her dad when he walked in and saw her all decked out for the first time. I was so lucky to click at just the right moment to capture that!<\/p>\n

The bridal party was lovely and LARGE! I definitely appreciated that they were so cooperative for photo time though!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mike got ready with the boys, including his two sons. Little boys in tuxedos = way too cute for words… it was almost unfair to the groom! My husband and second shooter for the day did a fabulous job capturing both dad, kids and the rest of the groomsmen too!<\/p>\n

I have no idea what kind of direction Sean gave them to get this next picture, but I’m totally in love with it, ha!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Carolyn and Mike opted for a first look to make enough time for photos. Especially with such a large bridal party, we’d have never had time to set up shots like this next one had they not! Afterwards, the rain put a bit of a damper on our plans for outdoor bride-and-groom photos, but we definitely made the most of the few indoor locations that were available to us.<\/p>\n

Due to the rain, the ceremony was also moved indoors. Luckily if all of their event had to be in one location, Carolyn and Mike could not have picked a prettier one for it!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The reception followed immediately after… I was shocked at how quickly and beautifully the room was transformed!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The couple had a beautiful first dance, followed by some speeches and a CRAZY party afterwards! Of all the awesome guests, topping the list of most fun couples, was still Carolyn and Mike… these two are a freakin’ riot!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To Carolyn and Mike; you two are an absolutely beautiful couple, outside and in. My husband and I really enjoyed spending Friday with you and your awesome family and friends. We never got in a photobooth with a couple before, but that’s how truly welcome you made us feel, and it was a blast! There is so much to love about you both, it was our privilege to capture it all in pictures for the whole world to see. Congrats you two!<\/p>\n
