This has been a crazy year y’all. It has been disappointing in so many ways however it showed us the things we truly value. Love is always at the top of that list in many forms. I’m so glad that we were still able to celebrate Laura + Kevin. Despite changing plans due to the pandemic and crazy summer thunderstorms, the day was filled with so much love. With their friends + family surrounding them, Laura & Kevin created a beautifully intimate ceremony complete with a bubble finale. It was an honor and a pleasure to photograph their special day. Congratulations you two!

Jacqueline & Chris' Chadds Ford Backyard Wedding by Tara Tayan

Jacqueline + Chris' wedding was filled with so much joy and warmth. They held their wedding in the backyard of a family member, who lived in Chadds Ford. They had a dreamy ceremony literally minutes after a summer rain storm. She wore a beautiful floral headband and the bouquets were a mix of soft romantic pinks. Her bridesmaids wore long flowy, blush pink gowns in all different styles. I loved all the details of their day- from Jackie's floral crown to the baby's breath bouquets to the rainbow colored kids table- it was all adorable. One of the best parts being Farm Truck Philly, a local farm to table food truck. Not only do they have a rad-ass truck, they also had a delicious short rib cheesesteak. Speaking of food, is it dinner yet?

The day started out bright and hot. But just like that Alanis Morissette song, the rain started to pour right before the ceremony. Only being a passing summer storm, the clouds parted and God-like rays beamed out, a perfect dreamy backdrop. Jackie's Aunt Chrissy became ordained online and when we visited the day before she was brushing up with the handy manual they gave her. The ceremony was beautiful with both of their kids not too far away, ready to jump in and join them at any time. Congratulations Jacqueline + Chris!
