Wedding at Baywood Greens in Long Neck, Delaware

admin — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 05:41:42 +0000

I have photographed many weddings alongside Rob Korb Photography and I haven’t yet posted any of these images. The dreary winter months seem like the perfect time to change this and showcase some of the beautiful flowers that bloom at Baywood Greens – the kind of backdrop wedding photographers in Delaware dream of!

Jessie & Art’s Engagement Session at Fifer Orchards – Dover, Delaware

admin — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 07:55:56 +0000

Jessie & Art chose Wyoming, Delaware near Dover, for their fall engagement photos. They first mentioned Wyoming Mill Pond, but after driving around the area for a bit, I passed by Fifer Orchards and was quickly excited by all of the beautiful color and sunlight beaming through the exhausted peach trees. I am so thankful to the people at Fifer Orchards for allowing me to shoot these photos on their property.

The setting couldn’t have been a more perfect for the fall backdrop that Jessie & Art were hoping for!

Melissa & Will’s Wedding in Seaford, Delaware

admin — Fri, 26 Nov 2010 18:03:51 +0000

There are many things that make fall a wonderful time of year: the weather, the food, the beautiful colors, the family gatherings and the moments when we express our thankfulness for family, friends, and the many blessings in our lives. Melissa and Will’s wedding was beautiful and abundantly filled with everything that makes fall so special. Below are some of my favorite images we captured to help them remember the little moments that were so important to them on their wedding day. These are some of the happiest moments of a day that I know they will always treasure.

Melissa & Will’s Engagement at Battery Park in Old New Castle – Delaware

admin — Sat, 23 Oct 2010 06:59:49 +0000

I will be photographing Melissa and Will’s wedding this November, and they chose Old New Castle as the location for their engagement session. I love this little town so much because of the rich history surrounding so many of the buildings. This is the town where William Penn first landed in ‘The New World.’ In fact, the anniversary of his landing is right around the corner – October 27, 1682. Since I first moved to the Mid-Atlantic area around 11 years ago, Old New Castle has always been one of my favorite local treasures to explore.

One of my favorite parts of our day – perfect for Halloween – was this creepy decoration staring out onto the street below. Thanks to Melissa and Will for letting me indulge in a little of my macabre sense of humor.

I can’t wait to see how beautiful Melissa looks on her wedding day!!

Matthew & Heather’s Wedding at Wild Quail Country Club – Delaware

admin — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 07:24:30 +0000

At this point in my photography career, I have relied solely upon word-of-mouth advertising. I met Heather and Matt through Caleb and Julia, whom I met through William and Melissa.

I feel really honored that my business growth so far has simply been from people talking about my photography and shooting style through their personal experiences with me. A personal, candid review and suggestion from a friend means a lot more than if someone found me by simply flipping through the yellow pages/clicking through a Google search.

I first got to know Matt and Heather when I did their family/engagement session on the beach. They are fun, laid back people (just my type!) and their wedding was just as fun and laid back. It was perfectly planned to fit their personalities.

My husband, Ken and I really enjoyed shadowing them on their wedding day and capturing these images. With a wonderful family surrounding them, beautiful daughters, and perfect weather — I think it’s safe to say that this wedding was everything Matt and Heather hoped it would be. Can I also just say that I would kill to have Heather’s beautiful smile and fantastic figure?

I hope Matt & Heather are having a great time on their honeymoon in Vegas (say “Hi!” for me to Baby Carlos!!!) and can’t wait for them to see these photos when they get back!

Matt & Heather’s Family Portraits in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware

admin — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 05:06:20 +0000

Last week I headed to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware to take some family photos of Matt, Heather and their two beautiful daughters. After we each made about 10 loops around the main thoroughfare and found parking spots, the fun began! Since I’m based in northern Delaware, I do not get to take many photos on the southern Delaware beaches, so I enjoyed the change of scenery.

Julia & Caleb’s Wedding in Dover, Delaware

Below are some photos from Julia and Caleb’s wedding this past May. You may remember the guestbook album I posted a while back from their engagement photos. Well, they ended up loving the album so much that they couldn’t bear to let anyone write in it! It turned into a regular engagement album.

I hope they loved their wedding photos just as much!

Family Pictures in Gibraltar Gardens – Delaware

admin — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 01:27:50 +0000

When my daughter started school last fall, I was a bundle of nerves, but mostly excited and happy for her to experience new things. She is a very social little girl and loves to be around other children. I knew she would have fun making new friends and learning like a sponge, as children have a tendency to do. Little did I know that I too, would make a new friend at her school!

On one of the very first school days I met Crystal. I heard her mentioning that she was headed to the local gym to workout — which is where I was also going to kill some time while my daughter was in school. We ended up going together and were pretty much together every school day since, as we headed to the gym or park to exercise together.

This summer she and her family wrapped up a long chapter and moved away to begin what I know will be some of the most joyful moments of their lives. I will miss my “exercise buddy” this fall when my daughter starts school again, but mostly, I’ll really miss a great friend.

Below are a few photos I took of Crystal and her family at Gibraltar Gardens in Wilmington, Delaware.

Engagement Pictures and Wedding Guestbook – Delaware

Here are a few images of the actual guestbook mentioned in the previous post.

Engagement album guestbooks are a great alternative to the regular wedding sign-in type book of days past. They allow guests to write more of a heartfelt note, rather than a simple signature. They’re also more fun to look at as the years go by. Not only because of the notes/blurbs from loved ones, but also because of the photos!

Julia & Caleb’s Engagement Guestbook – Dover, Delaware

admin — Mon, 10 May 2010 05:12:51 +0000

In early April I met Julia and Caleb in Dover, Delaware and we rode around to several interesting locations to take some engagement photos for their wedding guestbook. We had a nice day driving around and stopping at various out of the way places to take photos. When I gave Julia a little sneak peak via Facebook she wrote, “Blonnie—These are sooooo beautiful!!! Wow!! I’m speechless!! Thank you soo much!” I’m so happy she likes them and she seemed equally as happy when she picked up her album today!

Below are the spreads from their wedding day guestbook with the images I created from the day. Stay tuned: soon I’ll post some pictures of the actual album after printing. I know they’re both excited (as am I) for their wedding this coming Saturday!
