All of you may remember Erin and “the Matter” from maybe my most well-known shoot to date… Alice in Wonderland<\/a>! Over the past several months, there has actually been a lot of skepticism over whether Erin was a “real bride,” haha, not only because she played the Alice part to perfection, but because she is definitely pretty enough to be a model!<\/p>\n

Well, to all those who doubted, proof has finally arrived! Erin and Matt were married October 15, 2011, with the reception at the Sovereign Performing Arts Center<\/a> in Reading, PA. I of course had the extraordinary honor of being their photographer.<\/p>\n

Our day began at the Abraham Lincoln Hotel, where both Erin and Matt got ready. I flew this wedding solo, and this was my first attempt to capture both bride AND groom getting ready alone and with very limited time \u2014 we started with Matt…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then Erin putting on her dress… her smile just lit up the room.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We managed to sneak in a few quicky bridals portraits … and before I continue to go on incessantly about how pretty Erin is on the outside, I have to point out how she is even more beautiful on the inside, so it’s no surprise she would end up with a guy like Matt, who would do anything for her… even let us glue orange eyebrows to his face!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The ceremony took place at the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church<\/a> in Douglassville, PA \u2014 what a beautiful church to get married in!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Erin’s veil got caught during the bubble exit and Matt didn’t realize so he kept walking… made for a hilarious shot! Afterwards we hopped in the limo to head over to Hopewell Furnace for some more photos!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then came my favorite part of the day\u2014 bridal party and bride-and-groom time! We only had an hour total for these pictures, but as I’ve said in the past, I’d rather have one hour in a great location than two hours in a so\/so location, and Erin and Matt definitely picked a GREAT location. I also moved INSANELY fast to get these pictures.. some of them weren’t even setup… just took them as we were walking!… I could barely keep up with myself, but I love the results!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The speeches at the reception were second to none, and the reactions from the members of the head table were absolutely priceless… even got a standing ovation!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I was only at the reception for a couple of hours, so people had just started to move around by the time I left, but we still managed to get some really nice shots!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To Erin and Matt: I just wanted to say that somewhere in the several months we spent planning Alice in Wonderland, and the many conversations Erin and I had outside of that, I learned more about you two than most, and Erin DEFINITELY learned more about me! Apparently, there is something about Erin that makes people want to spill their life-story to her even if they’ve only known her for as long as it takes to get through the checkout line at the grocery store, haha! I felt like I could tell Erin anything, and she has been SO much more than a client to me.<\/p>\n

Matt, I am constantly amazed at how wonderful you are; if I had never met you I’d have doubted there would ever be anyone out there good enough for Erin, but I did, and you are not only “good enough” you are PERFECT for her, but I guess you knew that already, since you’ve essentially held onto her since high school! It’s for all these reasons that when my contracted time was up on Saturday, I stayed for your first dances and the cake. I could not think of a better wedding gift than your actual memories of the day, and I did it not just for being my clients and for doing Alice in Wonderland at my request, but for being my friends. Congratulations; you deserve it all and more!<\/p>\n
