Ashlee & Jon, Part I

I keep thinking that we’ll get caught up on our real weddings blog posts as soon as things mellow out a little around our studio.   Obviously, that’s not happening anytime soon, so I’m just going to have to steal some time to share these amazing photos by Mike Kehr of Ashlee & Jon’s incredible wedding at with you.   ThoBr_0918_0265_T

As usual, Mike did one INCREDIBLE job of capturing all the beautiful elements of this wedding at Winterthur Museum and Country Estate in Winterthur, Delaware.   As you’ll see later on, Winterthur is truly magnificent.  Working there was a pleasure, especially with Nicole Bailey of Restaurant Associates at the helm of of all things Winterthur.   We made new life-long friends with this wedding!

After their trip to the Sherif Zaki Salon and a day of getting ready at the Hotel Dupont, the wedding party and family headed out for Winterthur to take some incredible photographs.   As always, Mike and his team were great to work with and the results were perfection!  There are so many gorgeous photos and amazing elements to share with you that I couldn’t possibly get it all in one post, so I’ll post this great wedding in installments.  

First up the pre-ceremony, ceremony and cocktail photos.

Beautiful Blooms‘ florals were gorgeous.   Ashlee told us straight-up that her number one priority was flowers, so naturally, we walked her right over to Donna at Beautiful Blooms to make sure that her flowers were all that she wanted them to be. Take a look at this stunning bouquet!

On the grounds, Winterthur has an amazing classic car collection.   The photo op’s were once in a lifetime!

The Papery created the perfect printed pieces for every part of this wedding, from the invitations to the cocktail napkins!

The weather was, literally, perfect!   And the romantic ceremony at Winterthur’s reflecting pool was, too.

The ceremony music was expertly accomplished by the Rittenhouse String Quartet.

The guests were treated to yummy cocktails and scrumptious hors d’oeuvres by Restaurant Associates a few steps away from the reflecting pool in one of the estate’s gorgeous gardens!
