I’ve known Nicolette for six years–we met in college, and when she asked me to photograph her wedding, I couldn’t have been more thrilled to accept! She and Jude met in 2010, and he proposed in April of 2012. Their wedding was on September 21st, 2013, at The Inn at St. Peter’s Village. This historic location has offers some of the best Chester County wedding photography opportunities. French Creek, which runs along the ravine directly behind the venue, is incredibly scenic and beautiful.

The wedding’s theme was sunflower yellow (as showcased in Nicci’s bouquet) and TARDIS blue. Nicci’s a big fan of Doctor Who!
She and Jude met while both were involved in the same production of “You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown”. Consequently, many of the details were also Charlie Brown-themed–the cake was topped with Lucy and Charlie Brown salt and pepper shakers, and there were several songs from the show sprinkled throughout the ceremony.

Their portrait session was one of the most fun ones I’ve ever shot! We ventured onto the trails behind the village and got some truly remarkable photos using the rocks and boulders that are strewn around the woods. Nicci and Jude were such good sports about the whole thing–thanks, you guys, for one of the most rewarding wedding day portrait sessions I’ve ever experienced!

[…] Nicci and Jude had a couple of bridesmen at their wedding. Their wardrobe choices illustrated one way to successfully integrate guys into the bride’s side. Nicci’s brothers both wore suits, but they were accented with bright blue vests and ties to match her bridesmaids’ gowns. Those bright accents really tied the wedding party together! […]
