We had been looking forward to Alex & Laila’s wedding since the day we first met them. Their engagement shoot at Shofuso Japanese Gardens was a blast and we definitely had fun using all the small spaces for a variety of shots. Unfortunately on their wedding day we were limited on time due to a monsoon right after the ceremony! We started at the hotel for getting ready shots and then headed to the ceremony at SS. Simon and Jude in West Chester. The skies opened on all of us on our way to the reception and we were lucky to get there before they started shutting down the roads! Luckily The Brandywine Manor House was ready for us with their beautiful indoor venue. Although we couldn’t use the grounds and everyone was a bit wet, we still managed to get some fun portraits (see slideshow) before the party really got started. Since some of the guests were unable to make it because of the roads, the wedding party made good use of the extra space to really get down. It was so great the DJ offered to play for them every night! They do say that rain is good luck on your wedding day, and we wish Alex & Laila all the best.
