On May 5, 2023, we were thrilled to photograph the colorful and lively wedding of Kaylie and Andrew. The day kicked off with a ceremony at Saint Dorothy's Catholic Church in Drexel Hill and wrapped up at the gorgeous Willows in Villanova, PA.

 
 

The colors:

Kaylie and Andrew's wedding color palette was a joyful celebration of spring. Bright pinks, oranges, and fresh greens set the stage, contrasting strikingly with the bridesmaids' sage green dresses and the groomsmen's navy suits. It was the perfect mix of earthy tones and vibrant hues!


The Aisle:

We could feel the excitement building as Kaylie prepared to make her walk down the aisle with her dad. The look on Andrew’s face when he saw Kaylie - pure love and awe! Their exchange of vows was a heartfelt moment that we were honored to capture.

The Willows:

The celebration moved on to The Willows in Villanova. This historic gem, tucked away in picturesque rolling hills, offered an absolutely amazing backdrop for the reception. Its gardens bursting with vibrant greenery fell perfectly in line with the couple's theme.


THe Reception :

The reception carried the day's vibe forward - lively, filled with love and high spirits. Amidst the clinking glasses and heartfelt speeches, we saw Kaylie and Andrew basking in the company of their friends and family.
