Ellen + Marshall [Philadelphia Wedding]

She took his breath away when he turned around and saw her for the first time…it was their wedding day! She handed him a tissue, and they both teared up as they experienced the joyous emotions. This is the day they had been waiting for. When friends and family would gather from all over the U.S. to watch Ellen + Marshall promise forever to each other. I’m so excited to share this Philadelphia wedding with all of you. Get ready for some of my favorite bride + groom portraits ever (I’m still swooning over that blossoming tree.) Ellen + Marshall were effortless to photograph, and I can’t help but smile as I see their exuberance in these photos.

Special thanks to Alysha Christine Photography for second-shooting…she captured many sweet moments throughout the day, like this photo of Ellen and her mom. This is why I absolutely love when couples choose a "First Look." Such raw, beautiful emotion. A stunning bride + groom under a breathtaking tree made my photographer's heart so happy. What a classy bridal party! Does anyone else think she looks like Reese Witherspoon? : ) I loved that Marshall's parents stood by his side as Ellen walked down the aisle.Ellen + Marshall's guests had a blast dancing their faces off! In the last photo, the girls were doing Beyonce's moves from "Single Ladies."
