Let the recap of our 5th year of photographing pretty spectacular weddings begin…
You might remember Meghan and Derek from their engagement session at PJ Whelihans (where they met) and downtown Moorestown! With all the crazy rain we’ve been having, it was such a blessing to finally have an absolutely gorgeous summer day for these two lovebirds to say their I Do’s! Their ceremony and reception were at Collingswood Grand Ballroom! :) It was so great to see them again and to hang out with their awesome family and friends! I hope you enjoy the sneak peek! xo
Meghan and her ladies got ready at her parents house in Burlington :)
Meghan has a slight obsession with Wizard of Oz (like me!!) so i couldnt resist putting her glittery shoes with Dorothy!
Meghan was smart… Sneakers for the reception!! She even had them personalized!! LOVE!
Meghan is also a firefighter so she brought some of her gear for photos!
Last time wearing Arnold on the back of her coat… soon it will be Hansen!!
Meanwhile… the boys were getting ready at the Westin Hotel in Mt. Laurel…
Schnazzy!
One of Meghan’s friend designed all the chalkboards! They looked awesome!!
Yay!! Congratulations Mr + Mrs Hansen!
Yep! Pure awesomeness!
The sunlight was just PERFECT!!
Spotlight Dance!
Meghan’s dad surprised her by changing into a kilt for the Father-Daughter dance!!
Then we snuck the lovebirds back outside right before the sun set!
Derek getting a small lecture about not smashing it in her face.. haha… I may or may not have done the same thing to Ryan!
The fabulous Sarah + Mark!! You may remember them from their Bradford Estate wedding last October!!
Wishing you soooo many congratulations Meghan + Derek!! We hope you had a perfect day and have an even more perfect honeymoon in Riviera Maya!! xo

You might remember these lovebirds from their adorable Longwood Gardens engagement last year!! :) Ever since then, we couldnt wait to shoot their special day! We had such a perfect day planned with the uber fabulous Sondra and Dan! They had a perfect little ceremony at a beautiful church in Swedesboro and then we headed to the Collingswood Grand Ballroom for photos and to party the night away!! I hope you enjoy the sneak peek of their day!!Sondra’s grandmoms dress… Her dress… And her mom’s wedding dress!! <3 <3 <3

Liz first spotted Mark from across the hall from where she was student teaching, and the teacher she was paired up with (her maid of honor) always joked that she would be the one to give the speech at their wedding one day! Its funny how things happen, because 8 years later, here we are on Liz and Marks wedding day! It was an absolutely perfect Spring day with an even more perfect bride and groom! Ryan and I both started at each of their parents houses and the headed to St. Charles Borromeo Church where Liz and Mark said their I Do’s! We then took advantage of the gorgeous weather and headed to Knight Park in Collingswood for photos and then partied the night away with DJ Sam Catrambone (highly recommended!) at the Collingswood Grand Ballroom!! :) I hope you enjoy the sneak peek of their day!!
Aunt Liz is definitely the best! Little Jaguar (Alex) and Green Lantern (Anthony) had a ball with her all day!
Her dress was sooo beautiful!
Breathtaking my dear!
Having a wedding during March Madness means the groom had his bracket with him throughout the day!
While the ladies were primping, the boys did what boys do when all dressed up.. Played some basketball!
There might be a tear there… I dont know Liz, I think you’ll have to be the judge of that! ;)
Mark is ready for the Roller Coaster ride of Marriage!! :)
Yay! Congrats Mr + Mrs La!
The awesome bridal party!!
Absolutely LOVE that Liz made her brothers “brides-men”!
Fierce! Such an amazing couple and so up for anything!
Since Liz and Mark are both teachers, they had to bring a little bit of the classroom into their wedding!! Check out the notes from their students! How sweet!?
Chalkboard Seating Chart – even included their Do Now and Objective!!
Love the rings!! AH!
So Happy Together <3
ADORE seeing past couples at weddings!! Makes me wish they could all get married again and again so I can see them more! Here is the fabulous Bryan <3 Amber!
The dance floor was FULL all night!! Party crowds are the best!!
Harlem Shake? Sorta?
Congratulations to the new Mr + Mrs LaPalomento!! Wishing you both sooo much love and happiness!! Saying than you just isnt enough for allowing us to capture such a special day for you! We hope you have a wonderful time in Mexico and even more magical time this summer in Italy!! xo
