Theresa & Chris
Isn’t she lovely.
A proud father stands in front of his baby girl. Looking at the women she has become. About to give her away. All the memories. All the joy. One of the sweetest daddy daughter looks I have been blessed to witness. These moments always catch me off guard. I love seeing these relationships. The trust that has been formed over years of talks. The safety felt when dad is around. A magical moment to start off a magical day.
Theresa is a friend of mine, so of course when she asked if I would shoot her wedding I accepted! I knew it would be a party full of love and laughter. Not to mention a ton of little moments all together to create a one of a kind celebration.
The ladies got ready at Theresa’s childhood home. Surrounded by warmth, family history, and Christmas cheer. The girls were stunning in their deep red gowns and Theresa was a true princess in her ballgown. The gentle men were dashing in their suits and of course brought their smiles.
We all met at the church for a moving service about love, commitment, and God. Surrounded by friends and family this couple honored their future together. (side note: Theresa is an elementary teacher so hearing all the little giggles from her students was the perfect addition to this day!)
After a beautiful service the guests all meet at The Bradford Estate for a delicious cocktail hour and marvelous dinner. Heartfelt speeches, dancing, and a few special guests kept the party rocking into the night.
Chris and Theresa surprised their guests with two special visits. One from the man in red and the other a special South Philly group.
You guessed it. Jolly Ol’ Saint Nick joined us as well as the mummers.
Chris and Theresa,
What a wonderful winter wonderland wedding. You two let your love shine throughout the day. From special moments while getting ready. To honoring loved ones gone on before. Inviting your students. Making sure the guests were well fed and amazed with different visitors. You honored everyone in the room all while honoring and starting off your marriage chapter. It was a true joy working with you both. Seeing your wedding dreams come to life over the last year was truly special. Thank you for allowing me to share in such a wonderful memory for you and yours.
All the best! Go have an adventure together every…single…day!
