Ashly and Brian tied the knot at the elegantly sophisticated  Carnegie Museum in Oakland. Their ceremony was held in the Hall of Architecture, with the reception following in the Carnegie Music Hall Foyer. Ashly was a stunning bride in a Monique Lhuillier gown, complete with a custom hairpiece with feathers and a cage veil. I love it when brides have a fabulous sense of style and an eye for detail, and Ashly certainly did. Everything came together to make a gorgeous, fun, and emotional day. Here are a few of my faves from their day:

Some of the details:

Mary and David tied the knot this Saturday at their private family estate in New Hope, PA (outside of Philadelphia). Mary and David are both in advertising, so I suspected there would be lots of fabulous details at their wedding. I wasn't disappointed - creative minds like that pay meticulous attention to detail. Here are some of the things that caught my eye:

Mary's Vera Wang gown. The dress in the background on the right is one of the bridesmaids dresses, which Mary's sister designed and made. (!)








































I am smitten with the look of a cage veil. Mary looked simply stunning in hers (which her sister also made).









































It was an emotional day. Lyndsay was my rockstar second shooter for the day- she took the photo on the right.




























The ceremony was simple, personal, witty, and intimate. Mary and Dave's officiant was a close friend of theirs, who got ordained online for the occasion. Since they weren't sure of the legalities of that in PA, the mayor of New Hope was on standby to make sure everything was official.






















































































































I loved the way Mary's gown flowed behind her as she walked.  
Remember those fabulous details I was telling you about? Check these out (one of their signature drinks during cocktail hour was a watermelon basil margarita- perfect for an outdoor summer wedding):




























































































The paper goods for the wedding were designed and made by Mary and her business partner Jen. Everything was so well thought out and executed. I've said it before- for a really beautiful and personal event, it's all in the details. If you are looking for creative and custom designed stationary, save the dates, invitations, placecards, etc. check out Ice Cream Social, their Etsy shop.

Jamie Hollander Gourmet Foods out of New Hope catered the event- the menu was Mexican food, which included a taco station and mini ice cream cones with margarita and chili chocolate gelato.

First dance






































There were a total of 5 toasts to the new couple. Dave's best man gave a hilarious speech entitled "How Mary saved my kidneys", during which this sequence of photos was taken:













Mary dancing with her father.








































The Urban Guerilla Orchestra kept people on the dance floor all night. They were phenomenal!!













































































Mary and Dave, thank you for a memorable day. I hope you're enjoying Cabo!

Cheers,
