I can recall my Assistant Jaime & I chatting on the way home how gorgeous the Bride was. Hope carried off this stunning, clean, Classic Vintage look that was modern yet could have easily been pulled by a Hollywood Bride from the 1930′s or 40′s. Hope’s dress was beyond stunning. So much so that it pains me to think that it might not be worn again. And Jon had the presence, charisma and swagger of modern day Sinatra. I truly could have photographed this couple all day long…


Hope & Jon exchanged their vows at the beautiful historic Kachel Chapel located on the Albright College campus in Reading, which is where they studied & met. It was slated to rain all day, and it most definitely did. However it would have no negative affect on the mood and celebration of the day. And while we only touched a fraction of what was at our disposal, I couldn’t be more thrilled with the settings the campus grounds had to offer us for Hope & Jon’s Bridals.


We covered a small portion of the Reception which took place in Leesburg, a short but absolutely gorgeous drive away, at Fish Pond West, Inc.


And as we wrapped up & left the Reception, I could not believe my eyes. Jon’s Truck, which from all accounts would be considered his pride & joy & his 2nd love next to his new Bride, was being over zealously decorated, like a Christmas tree in the North Pole, with saran wrap & toilet paper… My first thought was, “Oh no! These poor guests will not live to see tomorrow…”. And my 2nd thought was, “I better document this…”. I hope they lived… ![]()
