From their awesome Washington Square Park Philadelphia Engagement session,  the excitement continued on their wedding day! Karen and Andrew celebrated thier big day at the Collingswood Ballroom in Collingswood, NJ.

Mother nature put a scare on us as the forecast mentioned for rain on that Saturday all week long, but as the day went on, the rain stayed away and we were able to get some nice outdoor time for the couple with their bridal party! We should always find the positives in every situation because sometimes, it really does work wonders!

Karen and Andrew got ready at their private residence which really had great lighting for the early part of their wedding day.

He wore a very special set of cufflinks as they were passed on from his grandparents. And finishing off his stylish look with his bowtie.

The sight of each other is such a great moment between them.

And the warm embrace.

After the first look, we went to Knight’s Park for some fun shots.

The ceremony and reception were held at the same venue.

Ceremony was underway. The Collingswood Ballroom has some nice 1920’s style decor, which really lends is self to a well polished old-world in a modern time setting.

Our couple had their own vows to themselves, their family and friends. Which was really heart warming to witness.

And yes they’re married! I’m really humbled to have documented their day for them. What an incredible couple.

Had a minute to see how nice it turned out outdoors before we kicked off the reception.

The decor details were just elegant.

Table settings were very impressive.

What’s unique about the Collingswood Ballroom from other venues I have been in is that, the bride and groom are introduced with their first dance by being revealed as the curtains open from the upper cocktail hour area.

I always see those fiery skies and always wonders where they are on a wedding day. Well finally had a shot (pun intended) at it, but it was fading fast. Thank you to our couple for giving me us the two minutes I needed to get this shot.
