Ever After Visuals is a mother-daughter team who specialize in wedding photography — we are wedding photojournalist, who capture moments that tell the love story of our brides and grooms. We also do engagement photography, destination wedding photography, day after, trash the dress, family portraits, and lifestyle portrait sessions.
October 24, 2009 — what a perfect day for a wedding! We arrived at the Church early Saturday morning to capture some awesome images of Ester getting ready. We absolutely loved Ester’s dress — it was so unique! This was not any ordinary wedding dress. This gorgeous satin dress with a cathedral train had dashes of tea rose pink on the entire length of the train and in a band framed with crystal beading. The bridesmaid’s dresses were also very lovely being a fitted navy blue strapless gown with a fuschia sash that draped down the back. Gorgeous wedding dresses like this one make it easy to be a wedding photographer.
The ceremony was very beautiful. One of our favorite parts was the surprise vow renewal that Ester did for her parents! It was so incredibly sweet that there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. David and Ester are truly a couple in love who couldn’t stop gazing into each other’s eyes. It was such a pleasure to be able to capture the life-long bonds between family and to see the creation of a new one.
Next came the wedding reception! The entire Grand Ballroom was decorated in beautiful Fuschia and Navy tablecloths with equally elegant lighting. We know one thing for sure, and that’s that David and Ester’s family loves them a great deal! Ester’s brother was constantly surprising everyone with his smooth moves. First when the bridal party was anounced, next he sang for his sister as a toast and last as a random dance in which Ester also surprised everyone and joined in. And David and his Mom brought some emotion to the moment with the mother-son dance and ending with the entire family in a huddle on the dance floor. What a blast everything was!
David and Ester — we want to thank you for being such an awesome couple! Your wedding day was fun and you made it so easy for us being such a photogenic pair! The love and respect between both of you is clearly evident in the way you treat each other. We hope you enjoy a long and happy life together.
We hope you enjoy the slideshow!

Jane and Fabian were married at the San Pedro Chapel in Tucson and then headed off for some fun at the Stillwell House.
So many things about this wedding stick out in my mind especially the GORGEOUS flowers by Posh Petals. After looking at the images below I think you’ll agree! So if you’re looking for a florist I cannot recommend Katie at Posh Petals enough!!!
Here are just a few of my favorite images from the day. I’ve only started editing this wedding but I’m too impatient to wait any longer to share!
Hair and make up were done at Robert Markley Salon, where Jane works 
They did an amazing job!
I love these two images of Jane putting on perfume.

It still feels like their wedding was just yesterday! Soyoung and Stephen are two of the most tender, relaxed, and beautiful people I know. We didn’t let the rain get us down and luckily Cairinwood has plenty of awesome little nooks to duck into for photos. All the ingredients that went into the day made it beautiful and perfect. Both of their families were just lovely and made us feel very welcome and warm.
Beautiful Blooms did a fantastic job on the bouquet.
One of my new favorite shoe shots.
Soyoung’s dress was Vera Wang. It suited Soyoung perfectly, gorgeous. Soyoung also wore a real gardenia in her hair, every time she walked by me the fragrance was amazing.
She didn’t plan on even having a veil but in the end she did and a very long gorgeous one at that!
One of my favorites, Soyoung’s mom putting the gardenia in her hair.
Simple. Stunning. Soyoung.
Lovely moment of their first meet.
Don’t they both just look stunning? I loved Stephens gray suit.
Like I said, Cairinwood had some great inside spaces!
What more can I say, really?
Very sharp looking men.
Elegant looking ladies.
Another favorite.
Soyoung and Stephen had a Quaker ceremony, where they married themselves. There was no officiant, just them marrying each other. It was quite beautiful.
The cake was simple and amazing.
I really enjoy this one of Soyoung’s mom dancing.
Lovely end of the night dance.
Thank you guys for everything! I hope it was worth the wait. You are amazing and I am so happy to have played a part in your day!

I just need to preface this post by saying I could have easily posted every single image from the day on the blog! Geesh it was hard to narrow down, there are many many more where these and the slideshow images came from. I just hope the ones I choose do it justice.
Let me start by giving you all of Melanie and Joe’s vendors that made their day so beautiful.
Venue & Cake: Nomandy Farm
Flowers: Petals Lane, Brittany always does an amazing job.
Dress: Casablanca, Melanie incorporated a few custom touches as well.
Photobooth: Party Booths
Band: DAME, they always rock the house!
Video: Marc Smiler, Marc did their love story which you can see here.
Make-up: Pasha Cosmetics by Pam Fox
Second Shooter: The one and only Miss Linette! Thank you so much darling! I love having Linette out shooting with me, you will see lots of here photos here too. She got to hang with the boys before the ceremony.
If you want to take a peek back at their engagement session go here.
We will start off with the bouquet. You will notice the detail of the humming bird. The hummingbird has a special meaning to this family. After the passing of Melanies great grandmother a hummingbird started coming around very frequently. The hummingbird seems to visit her family in the most perfect and sometimes strangely coincidental times. It serves as a reminder that they have loved ones always looking down on them. I thought it was a fantastic addition.
Melanies Mom had all of her things strategically laid out for her. I just love this one with the reflection of her dress and the shoes on the dresser.
Beautiful Melanie
The boys huddling in.
Joe excited on the way to the church.
Check out Mel and her ride to the church!
It’s all sinking in! Dad is giving his daughter away! Ahh!
The ring barer pillow, so unique.
I love catching little moments with the children.
Married!!
I like to do fun active stuff with my bridal parties, you will see those in the slideshow, I love these candids Linette caught.
One of my favorites. We did portraits at the most perfect time of the day. Not to mention this was the most beautiful day in September!
I think this proves that Joe will do anything, and I mean anything for Melanie.
The car was awesome!
I loved their first dance too. Definitely showed off their individualism, the song in the slideshow is what they danced to.
Love this and check out how ripped Melanie is! Nice muscle tone girl!
I am already wishing I put more images in the slideshow, I know I left out a lot. Their slideshow could have easily been a five minuter if I could do more than one song.
I have to mention that Melanie did such a great job planning out the timing of the day. Not only did we get the very best light of the day but we had plenty of time for all the formals and for their portraits. We were not rushed in any way. We even finished ahead of schedule and they got to attend most of their cocktail hour. It was perfect.
You guys are great. You already know how much fun we had with you. Its been such an amazing experience. Thank you for making me feel so warm and welcome the whole time.
Enjoy your slideshow, I apologize for the one little hiccup in there.
I can’t seem to get rid of it.

Kate and Ben had a wonderful day! Before I get too far let me mention some of the key players.
Venue: Radnor Hunt
Flowers: Harmony Hill Gardens
Pies: Linvilla
Shoes: Manolo Blahnik
Second Shooter: David Schrott, David shot a lot with me this year, as usual great stuff David thank you for all you do!
Lets get on to some images.
starting with some bling.
One of the groomsmen warming up for the ceremony.
The flowers were amazing. They were from Harmony Hill Gardens, which is an organic grower in Buck county. Ben’s step mom was instrumental in the arrangements.
David got to spend a good bit of time with the boys, I love this little moment.
Kate was very excited about her shoes, who wouldn’t be?
One of my favorites
Kate’s something old was the veil her mom wore.
Love this.
Ben taking a few moments before the ceremony.
All the center pieces were different.
All of the details at the wedding were made, or arranged by family and friends. I like their interpretation of the program as the chalk board.
I love the look Ben is giving Kate here as they meet at the alter.
They did a self uniting ceremony. Kate’s aunt Sara officiated; Kate and Ben wrote their own vows. September 26 is also sentimental because Ben’s grandfather was married on the same day in 1941. Pretty cool.
I loved the brides maids dresses. Some gorgeous ladies.
The emotion on both sides of the family was very touching.
The kiss!
I love how Ben is getting the “adaboy” from his dad as they come down the isle!
We really hoped the horses would be out for some photos.
A still from one of my motion sequences, check out the slideshow below for more.
I think this guy may have secretly wanted to eat Kate’s bouquet.
Radnor Hunt has this awesome swing. We had to take advantage.
Another favorite.
Instead of a wedding cake, they had pie.
The pie’s were delicious. They all came from Linvilla Orchards except the one on top, Kate’s mom made that one special.
I love love this little moment!
Pie is good!
What an awesome day. We had such a great time and the weather held for us, the minute we were done with portraits the sky opened up! Thank you for having me out, always a pleasure.
