As a photographer, I love doing weddings in Chester County, PA. The scenery there is gorgeous. You can get some great formal wedding poses. Sometimes though, the best photos you get from a shoot are the ones that occur right before or right after a posed shot. You can catch people laughing or making faces. These are from a wedding I did recently in West Chester, PA. We went to take the formal portraits at Goose Creek Park. I gave direction for how to stand but before they were ready and after the pose, I kept shooting and got some really great, natural pictures with genuine smiles and a bit of fun too. Also, if the group has their own ideas, you can tell them to do something silly and they tend to have a silly pose that they do when taking their own photos. In this case, there was a particular face all the girls made. These types of photos are the ones that show the true feeling of the day and the spirit of the people you are photographing.

What a great way to spend Valentine's Day! So this wedding was particularly fun to shoot. Partly because the couple and their families were a lot of fun, partially because the Glen Foerd Mansion is absolutely gorgeous, and partially because it's supposed to be haunted. Conroy Catering does the catering at the Glen Foerd Mansion and they had a formal sit down dinner set up in the main room of the Glen Foerd Mansion. The ceremony was held in the drawing room and the after dinner dancing was in this gorgeous solarium off the back of the Glen Foerd Mansion. This took place right after the two big blizzards we had so the property was covered in a thick blanket of untouched snow, leading right up to the Delaware River. It was just so beautiful all around.

Glen Foerd Mansion offered so many wonderful PA Wedding Photography moments to count, but here are some of my favorite Philadelphia Wedding Photographs to share with you. I didn't see any signs of the Glen Foerd Mansion being haunted but see if you can find any uninvited guests lingering in the background of the Philadelphia Wedding photos....
