Get ready for the sweetest April wedding ever!

Jess & Jake are one of the sweetest couples ever. They are both incredibly laid back. They wanted their wedding to be an event that everyone could enjoy – which is why they split their cocktail hour up in the middle: they had a 1/2 of cocktails, then they had the ceremony, then right back into cocktails. It was kind of amazing – and all of their guests were incredibly happy.

These two were a dream to photograph – totally listened to everything I wanted to do, and so super in love that I couldn’t take a bad photograph. I also couldn’t have shot this wedding day nearly as well without my amazing second shooter Joy. Joy is as talented as she is sweet and I loved spending the day with her. Some of her shots are mixed in below! Enjoy their beautiful day!

 

Any bride that wears flats is my kind of bride.

Jess looked so classic, from her gorgeous dress, to her beautiful hair and simple yet elegant jewelry. LOVE.

You can’t direct smiles like that. That is all THEM. Sigh.

Jess + Jake are big sports fan and Philly fans. All of their details were fantastic, especially this sign.

After dinner, we headed out for a few shots at sunset. It was incredibly COLD, but these two were troopers. I’m so happy we went out there.
