Quintin + Jaimee: Brandywine Manor House Wedding

I did Quintin & Jaimee’s engagement pictures earlier in the summer and had the privilege of being apart of their wedding on July 29.

I had a really hard time deciding WHICH pictures to post, so I picked a bunch (more than normal). There was a tremendous amount of joy filling that entire day, and I think you'll see that here.

Their first look was priceless.

These pictures were taken at Quintin's farm.

This dock is where Quintin originally asked Jaimee to be his girlfriend.

Their bridal party was a blast. 

Do you want awesome ceremony pictures? Get married outside. Especially at 5 o'clock in the evening. I'm such a sucker for that sunlight peaking through the trees. 

Their vows were incredible! Made everyone (including myself) both laugh and cry.

Their ceremony was so meaningful and they even shared communion together.

3 best friends (went to high school with all of them!)

The rain held off for the ceremony, but it started to storm just before the reception. Nothing like a bouquet to keep the bride from getting her hair ruined! 

I was really upset when the flash decided to not fire for this shot, but I think I might like it better that way.

We were fortunate enough to catch the last bits of the gorgeous sunset.

Such a fun time for everyone! 

Thank you both for allowing me to be apart of your incredible day! (And thank you Derek Dienner for being so generous in letting me borrow some of your equipment—clearly had a huge impact on the way these pictures turned out!)

And when it rains...

Being a farmer's daughter and all... when it doesn't rain for more than a month at a time, I get concerned. NO, I'm not your typical farmer's daughter who spends her time milking the cows and out in the fields, but I still genuinely care about it (some might argue that, but it's the truth).

Anyway, so a couple weeks ago when it F.I.N.A.L.L.Y. decided to rain (even for just a few minutes) I celebrated by taking my sister out for a photo shoot. Okay, I had to beg and plead for a few minutes, but it gave her a great excuse to dress up and look all cutesie for a night.

Part of me just simply wanted to take pictures, but another part of me also wanted to try out this bad boy. Is it mine, you ask? DID YOU SEE THAT PRICE TAG?! Of course it isn't mine. And how am I taking pictures with it? By renting it, of course! I owe a lot of my photography credit to a wonderful little gem of a business called borrowlenses.com. They are great to work with and I've even worked with them so much that they have started giving me free extra days when I rent lenses! This is the second time I rented this particular lens for a wedding. The first time, I realized that even though it gives some of the MOST incredible pictures on earth, it's not very practical for anything other than portrait shots. However, I decided to give it another try and fell in love with it again. (I was kicking and screaming when I had to send it back today... note to self, stop wasting money on RENTING when you could just save up for a while and BUY one...easier said than done).

Little Lou.

Funny, gorgeous, thoughtful, caring... all-around fabulous.

And I get to call her my sister.

Reason #2654 why I'm blessed.
