Glen Foerd is forever and always one of our favorite wedding venues here at Emily Wren Photography. The quintessential Delaware riverside estate is imbued with a historic charm that creates an environment of effortless romance! In July, we had the pleasure of photographing Kelsey & Matt’s gorgeous wedding at this dreamy locale. Every aspect of the day came together naturally and seemed to flow with a delightful elegance. But the one thing that shone brightest throughout the day was the bride herself– Kelsey moved through the day with a beautiful calm, graceful in every interaction, and truly gave light to the day with her radiant smile. Her joy was so intoxicating we found ourselves beaming right along with her!

The couple chose a palette of crisp navy, bold burgundy, and soft shades of blush and cafe au lait for their day. The combination created an atmosphere that was romantic and serene with an elegant but sultry edge. Kelsey looked exquisite in her seriously sleek Sarah Seven gown, and the dress stood out in a spectacular fashion next to her bridesmaids floor-length burgundy and blush gowns. Matt and his gents were ever so handsome in their brilliant navy suits with sharp ties that matched the ladies’ dresses. Faye & Renne filled the venue with arrangements of crimson and wine colored blooms which they softened with pale pinks and whites. Clover Event Co. provided a chic touch with custom, gold-embossed cocktail napkins that perfectly complemented the gold finishing decor. Every element of the day was sophisticated, refined, and simply lovely!

Emily was such a joy to work with! She is an extremely talented photographer and brings such a high level of artistry and romanticism to her work. On our very first phone call, I could tell Emily would bring a sense of calm to our wedding day. Our engagement photo session and portrait sessions felt very relaxed and comfortable and never forced. Anytime I mentioned that Emily was our photographer, I received an “Oo” or an “Aww” and I knew that we were in good hands. Her team was wonderful. I can’t say enough nice things about them. They were all very professional, courteous, and also constantly had us smiling and laughing! By the end of the night our friends were requesting photos with them. I received so many compliments after the wedding about Emily, Gregg and the rest of the team and how great they were. And now I’m receiving so many compliments on how amazing the photos turned out. Thank you all so much for making our wedding day so special! I wish we could do it all over again! – Kelsey & Matt
