Barb & Brian Get Married at Pearl S. Buck Estate, NJ & PA Wedding Photographer

I had the unbelievable honor of shooting the wedding of Barb and Brian on Sunday, September 7th at the Pearl S. Buck Estate.  It was an amazing day and I could not have done it without the help of my second shooter, Christy.  Her images are mixed in with mine….

Barb and Brian share so many things…a love for family, the desire to teach and help the younger generation, faith, and now their wonderful wedding day.  And what a day it was.  The weather was an unbelievable gift, as the bridal party arrived to the Pearl S. Buck Estate in the early afternoon.  The first time I saw Barb, she was exiting the vehicle in full bridal hair and make-up done by Claudine at Bijou Salon,  and she looked amazing.  Poised, not the least bit nervous, and ready to celebrate.  Brian was cool as well, hanging out with guys while the final details were being put in place. Black and White of Wedding Dress HangingBridal Party Toasting Before ceremonyTop NJ and PA Wedding Photographer, Pearl S Buck Estate

Barb looked absolutely stunning once dressed.  Her ballgown style dress had beautiful beading and crystals in the bodice and her florals, designed by Susan Dean, were to die for.  I kept smelling them as I was photographing her, they were intoxicating.  Of course Brian looked as happy as could be, and very handsome in his suit.

Brian and Barb opted for a first look and those relaxing few minutes we had together to take their portraits was wonderful.  They needed very little direction, and was just relishing in the quiet, romantic moments before the ceremony.
