King Plow Arts Center Wedding: Becca & Mark

9/9/2019

Normally when I show up on a wedding day I have a general idea of what to expect in terms of the overall design and aesthetics as well as the personalities of my couple. For this wedding, I showed up with way more nervous anticipation... and in my slippers. You see I was wearing an additional hat for Becca and Mark's wedding - and that hat was a full length gown with a train. Having a dual role on a wedding day as bridesmaid and photographer was daunting, and to be totally honest, it was harder than I thought it'd be. However, I think there is only one person in the world I would do this for and that's Becca. We've known each other for over half our lives and I just wanted to make sure that Becca's vision and all the fun of that day was captured in the best way possible!  I would say all of the planning, flights back and forth from Philly, dress fittings and stress of pulling off a destination wedding was worth it. The day felt like Becca and Mark in every moment and detail... especially in the cocktail napkins featuring their pup, Mika. 
 We started the morning off with mimosas and getting glamorous... and shooting details. Everything was so laid back I kept thinking we were forgetting to do something! Soon it was time to head to King Plow (which happens to be across the street from where Becca and I lived together), but since the AirBnb Becca's family rented had a nice clear space, we utilized it for Becca to get in her gorgeous dress. I only cried once (at the AirBnb) but in fairness, it was when Becca's dad saw her for the first time. As he said in his toast - he's a hardened veteran... but he cries at weddings. It was the sweetest thing ever!

The guys were already enjoying cocktails at King Plow when we arrived, but Mark was so excited when it was finally time to see his bride. Becca was definitely feeling the jitters, but as I promised, seeing Mark would make that all go away. There's nothing like seeing your person to calm all the nerves! I may have teared up a little during their portraits too, but there was no time for blubbering as we had lots of pictures to get through before the ceremony! With a little (a LOT) of help from Amanda of A.Bloch Photography, I was able to pose and then hop into the group shot with the wedding party. After some logistical juggling (and forgetting my bouquet) we knocked out all the pictures, and it was time to get these two MARRIED! Their ceremony was perfectly personalized, complete with a reading of "I Wanna Grow Old With You" from the Wedding Singer and ended with a kiss that was exactly long enough for me to capture (thanks for counting Mark!). The rest of the night flowed as smoothly as the drinks from the bar and Becca and Mark's family and friends celebrated as if we had all known each other for a lifetime. The new Mr. & Mrs. Cannatelli left their wedding in a tunnel of sparklers with the biggest smiles on their faces. Becca and Mark - welcome to the old married club. I love you both, and I know Mika is so happy you made it official.
