Michelle & Ed – Wedding.

Meet Michelle & Ed. I don’t think I can possibly say enough nice things about this couple but I’ll give it a shot. Michelle found me on The Knot last year and she pulled me in on the very first email. She was having a 40’s Style Hollywood Themed wedding in the Poconos. Umm…Yes Please. This was my first themed wedding and it was definitely pulled off with major class all the way. So many guests dressed for the occasion and for those who didn’t there were props to wear at the photo booth. That’s right she opted for a photo booth in her package, which I styled like a movie screen with red velvet curtains on each side. On top of that she had life size cardboard cutouts of themselves made so everyone could have their picture made with the Bride & Groom! I hired my friend Michael to fly up and work the booth and he did an amazing job! The wedding was held at The Shawnee Inn & Golf Resort in Shawnee on the Delaware, PA right on the Delaware River. We had Blue Skies with just the right amount of clouds to help cut that harsh sun down a notch. It was a Perfect day.

One of my favorite moments from the night was when Michelle, who had a one woman show in NYC, sang to her Grandparents with the band. She sang ‘What a difference a day made’ (Their Song) half in English and the last half in Spanish!! Not a dry eye in the room. After that she surprised her new husband with ‘Love will keep us together’ and let me tell you this woman can Blow! Did I mention this was with like a 9 person band with horns and backup singers and awesomeness?

Take a look at some of my favorite images from the day.
