I love to shoot small, intimate weddings where the bride and groom are surrounded with their closest family and friends.  Liz and Andrew’s wedding was exactly this and just absolutely beautiful.  When Liz first contacted me she wanted image done with her, her husband, her daughters and parents.  Quickly her wedding grew to over 40 people and after meeting with the family I can understand why.  They are a big beautiful family full of love and light.  Liz and Andrew are surrounded with beautiful family and friends.  I always say “I love, love” and I left this wedding so happy to be a part of such a fantastic celebration of love.

Congratulations Liz & Andrew!  May your married life be filled with fun, love, joy & laughter!

Liz chose to do a “first look” which I loved.  We set it up so they could turn around and see each other at the same time.

I could shoot portraits of these two all day long… AppletiniPhotography_1412 copy

We shot the portraits at the Curtis Arboretum which was the perfect backdrop!  The grounds there are absolutely beautiful!

Liz’s Dad said a prayer over them and it was such a beautiful moment in the ceremony.

Liz and Andrew had dinner for their guests at the same location they had their first date 5 years ago, Scannicchios in South Philly and the food was SO GOOD!!  I think that is so romantic and it was the perfect spot to celebrate!
