Nadya & Evan at Hotel du Pont
Thursday, February 5, 2009 at 04:27PM We haven't made an exhaustive search, but we have a feeling that the most beautiful place to get married in Wilmington, Delaware must be the incredible Hotel du Pont, so we were pleased and excited to be with Nadya and Evan for their celebration! We started out with a meetup at a local park, where they saw each other for the first time in all their wedding day splendor...



and, after some family photos, we rode back to the hotel, grabbing this moment on the way...

And then the Ketubah Ceremony, both moving and joyous:

Then, their ceremony was held in the hotel's du Barry Ballroom, with the Rittenhouse String Quartet playing music by Philip Glass...

As you can see here, it's a gorgeous room, and we were able to capture some nice moments with the available light, here's where the fast glass really pays off:





After the ceremony, we were able to spend a few minutes alone with them in the Grand Ballroom, where we made this classic portrait:

This beautiful couple wanted to entertain their guests, and that they did! For example, check out their amazing first dance, which was an unexpected choreagraphic treat:




Obviously, the crowd loved it! With a real, live big band, the Jump City Jazz Orchestra, the night was a great celebration.

Thanks so much to Nadya and Evan for all the creativity and planning, it was a fantastic day!
