Their Wedding Day: Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club Fall Wedding
Gabby & Collin’s Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club fall wedding was a DREAM day! We had the most perfect beautiful fall weather, and prime color in the fall foliage! I had so much fun celebrating these two and capturing all the special moments of their day! And can we just talk about their ceremony lighting for a moment?! They had their ceremony just before sunset, so we had the most beautiful golden glow backlighting the ceremony. It looked like something out of a dream! So gorgeous! I have so many favorite photos from this day, and I can’t wait to share them all! But first, a little bit of their love story!
Their Love Story
When I asked Gabby & Collin to share with me one thing they love about each other, they gave the sweetest answers. Collin said he loves, “how persistent Gabby is at trying to cheer me up, even when I’m having a bad day.” Gabby said she loves, “how motivating Collin can be to be my best self, and support me in all my crazy endeavors.”
These two first met back in college, the week before Junior year started. As Gabby tells it, “we went to the University of Delaware together and I was moving into a house with 5 girls in my sorority, who all happened to live on the same floor as him freshman year. We had a big party to start off the year, and he happened to come by with a few friends. What was funnier is that we had been to the same parties, had the same friends, but had never been introduced! We have been together since then and actually celebrated our 7th anniversary together on October 8th!”
The Proposal
You’ve got to hear how Collin proposed to Gabby! Gabby gave me the inside scoop. She said, “In the most pandemic of ways, Collin actually had FOUR plans that all got cancelled! We were supposed to go to the Masters in April, and then again in November (Collin’s mom’s side of the family is from Augusta) and both of those plans were cancelled. He wanted to propose on my birthday in November, but the ring was delayed in shipping because of COVID, and then had rented a private boat that also got cancelled because of COVID.”
“SO by the time he actually proposed, I think he was sick of thinking of elaborate plans LOL! He told me that we were going to brunch that Saturday, and had a few friends waiting on our rooftop to surprise us after. We were getting ready to leave for “brunch” and he got on one knee in the kitchen! He said he couldn’t wait any longer, and when we went to the roof to “take pictures” a few of our friends were up there and surprised us with champagne and balloons to celebrate!”
To The Newlyweds
Gabby & Collin, thank you so much for having me as a part of your day! It was perfect from start to finish, and such an absolute honor to photograph! I love you guys and couldn’t be more grateful for your friendship! Cheers to the start of this next chapter! Sending the biggest hug! xoxo
