illowdale is one of my favorite venues. It's a place where guests immediately feel comfortable which translates into a warm, relaxed atmosphere and tons of great candid photos. Megan and Joe really embraced the great vibes and amplified them throughout the day with their closest friends & family. Getting ready started upstairs in the bridal suite, with the ladies getting their makeup done by Elizabeth from Elizabeth Moran Beauty. Megan's wedding gown was from Giana Bridal Boutique and I loved how the small flowers in the tulle complimented her bouquet and really fit in with the spring wedding theme. Once ready, Megan and Joe had a first look on the staircase and we took a few portraits inside the main foyer with the beautiful natural wood and leaded glass details of the house in the background. From here, we met up with the wedding party and headed down the hill to the wooded path, which is one of my favorite places to take portraits at Willowdale. Megan & Joe held their ceremony in the courtyard before their guests moved inside the house for cocktail hour and the reception in the conservatory, which was decorated by their florist, Evans Flowers. A huge thank you again to Megan and Joe for including me in their special day, and to my friend and second photographer Liz Friar for all her help and hard work on this wedding!
