Vermont Farm Wedding – Rose & Oliver
Rose and Oliver were married on 4th of July weekend in a region of Vermont known for its stone quarries. The venue was a converted farm called Millstone Hill. The ceremony was outside with beautiful rolling hills for a backdrop. As night set in, the fireworks began and rain fell. The party danced and danced under the tent and out in the rain. It was such a lovely wedding!
I had the pleasure of photographing Lauren and Eric’s wedding at the beauteous and strange Fleisher Art Memorial with Jessica Flynn for Peach Plum Pear Photo. We wandered around the Gayborhood and the Italian Market finding hidden gems, including the spectacular bicycle mural, and the quaint and beautiful alley, Irving Place. We stopped for gelato in the Italian Market, and threatened to grab a water ice as well. I had shot at Fleisher Art Memorial before, but only in the evening. It was a pleasure to capture all the bright colors in the adjoining park/garden where the ceremony was held. Lauren and Eric certainly have a flair for the clever; they had personalized cowboy boot beer koozies made. Dinner and dancing were hosted inside the Fleisher Sanctuary, which is one of the most spectacular hidden wedding venues in Philadelphia. Wonderful stained glass, haunting statuary, intricate woodwork, and copious murals made for a dramatic backdrop. Dinner was provided by the Philadelphia vegan catering outfit, Miss Rachel’s Pantry. I have had my fair share of vegan cuisine, high and low as it were. Miss Rachel’s Pantry is the best fine vegan cuisine I have ever had.
Pennsylvania Farm Wedding – Ryan & Julie were married in Ryan’s parents’ farm backyard. It was an intimate wedding with a few dozen guests, so I had a chance to get to know all the guests through my camera, and make varied photographs of each of them. There were adult partygoers, child partygoers and animal partygoers, all dressed in finery. Yes, a potbellied pig in a red tutu. I was thrilled. And a pair of southdown sheep in red tutus. The dogs wore bowties. A lovely time was had by all. Thank you, Julie and Ryan for throwing such a perfect party, and for being so easy to work with.
