I knew Kelsey & Anthony’s wedding day was going to be gorgeous. Shades of blue and pink with soft, romantic details… all these tiny little characteristics I knew about going into their big day. What I did not know was how it emotional it was going to be, for myself included! I did not expect Anthony, who always has this big genuine smile on his face and such an overall optimistic and fun personality, to even cry on his wedding day… but when he saw his stunning Bride, how could he not? I absolutely LOVED it! Kelsey’s tears started early when she read the sweet card that Anthony gave her that morning and let her know just how excited he was to become her Husband. SO sweet. I did not expect MYSELF to cry over Kelsey’s sweet father and just how happy he was for his little girl all day long. Kelsey not only shared a First Look with Anthony but her father as well and oh man… he melted my heart! His reaction was the sweetest 🙂

All week long the forecast was calling for rain but what we got was the complete opposite. It was HOT and bright and sunny, which are just what you want on a wedding day. Their bridal party and portraits of just the two of them are sun-drenched and it made all the beautiful shades of blue the girls were wearing just pop off the backdrop of the Craig House in Battlefield State Park. I am a HUGE fan now of Bridesmaids wearing different dresses on a Wedding day! Can’t even begin to explain how exciting that is to photograph. I just KNOW all those colors together are going to look fantastic and they sure did. Kelsey’s bridesmaids dresses almost reminded me of sea glass, which is SO appropriate since she grew up in the cutest beach town in New Jersey 🙂 And Anthony’s groomsmen were so dapper in their suits and bow-ties. Yes, BOW-TIES! LOVE it!

All of the details that Kelsey & Anthony so carefully planned for their wedding day came together beautifully. From their simple wedding cake & their adorable cake topper to all of the centerpieces accompanied with beautiful literary quotes of love and hearts made to look like they were cut out of book pages, it all was so lovely! This wedding day was showing off their storybook romance and it all felt like a fairytale! OH! And when Kelsey told me she brought along X & O gold balloons for their portraits?? I’m pretty sure this is every photographers dream! FUN details that make their portraits one-of-a-kind. They even let me sneak them out of their Reception for a few portraits right at sunset and… oh, those are my absolute FAVORITE photos! Love, love, LOVE it all! I couldn’t have done it without Laura, who is always a wonderful person to have by my side when Jose can’t be there. We had a blast! 🙂 I am SO excited to share their beautiful wedding day and my favorite images with you today 🙂

Kelsey & Anthony, I hope you have the BEST time on your honeymoon in Europe! I wish you nothing but more love, laughter and happiness together! ENJOY!!
