Philadelphia / Overbrook Golf Club Wedding

It's hard to put into words just how incredibly special it was to photograph Cara and Andy's wedding in Philadelphia over the Labor Day weekend. They are two of the most wonderful people I've had the pleasure and honor to photograph in my 30+ in this business. From the moment we met I could fee the chemistry they share and knew right then this was going to be an amazing wedding.

Toni and I arrived Thursday afternoon in time for the rehearsal. Right from the start everyone made us feel like family. On Saturday it seemed I couldn't make photos fast enough because there was SO much beautiful emotion flowing, it was hard to capture it all. And when Cara finally walked down the aisle Andy's expression was priceless -- and captured in vivid detail by Toni, shooting from the church balcony. As they exited the church Andy 'high fived' his way out to his cheering family and friends.

When Cara selected the date of her wedding she did so based on one thing -- The Vincent James Band. She asked what dates they had available and picked the date of her wedding accordingly. I have to say it was a good decision. These guys ROCKED the house! If anyone is getting married in the Philadelphia area, or any area for that matter, you need to check out this band.

After such a mind blowing wedding I wasn't sure if we would be able to keep up the same intensity during our "After Shoot" around Philadelphia on Sunday. But oh my did we ever! Our first stop? Geno's, of course! "Wiz wit," thank you very much! And not a drop spilled on the gown. Good job, Cara!

We would like to thank Cara, Andy and all their family and friends from the bottom of our hearts for such a fabulous weekend and for making us feel like a part of your family. We can't wait to see you again!

All our love,
Toni and Terry
