Katie & Ashley’s gorgeous Cape May wedding is one we won’t forget. Not just because these two brides are so breathtakingly beautiful, but because of the powerful love story we had the honor of witnessing. Their wedding was a true celebration of love, friendship, and joy, set against the stunning backdrop of Willow Creek Winery. With a perfect blend of elegance and fun, their day was filled with unforgettable moments that showcased their unique bond and the deep affection their friends and family have for them. Surrounded by friends and family, their joy was infectious. Katie & Ashley are the kind of people that everyone wants to be around – they exude positive energy, they are gracious and kind, they are smart and funny. Shot by our lovely associate Sarah!

Breathtaking Summer Venue
Willow Creek Winery, with its sprawling vineyards and serene ambiance, was the perfect setting for Katie and Ashley’s summer wedding. Katie and Ashley started the day getting ready with their wedding party in a gorgeous rental home right by the beach. The breezy beach vibes flowed through their wedding details, adding a touch of coastal charm to the vineyard elegance.
Katie and Ashley’s first look was a stunning, intimate moment during their fun-filled day of wedding festivities. The glowing brides, with ear-to-ear smiles, in their ivory gowns on the warm summer sand were a match made in first look heaven! Their love and joy were palpable during their first look on the beach, and taking portraits alone on the beach was a beautiful and loving start to the festivities.
Floral Elegance
Summer blooms in shades of pink adorned the venue, creating a picturesque setting. Highlighting shades of pink was a consistent design element throughout, starting with their mix and match bridal party outfits. A Garden Party kept that aesthetic going with their colorful summer bridal bouquets and ombre pink bridesmaid bouquets. The wedding cake, adorned with pink flowers and a golden topper, was a highlight. Elegant and delicious, it was a perfect representation of the day. The decor, with its summer blooms and cohesive pink aesthetic, added to the charm and elegance of the celebration.
Intimate Garden Ceremony
Held in the garden, the ceremony was intimate and beautiful. The white tent provided a charming backdrop, complementing the lush greenery and vibrant flowers. The couple exchanged vows under a white tent, framed by a stunning pink floral archway. Their guests gathered under a large tent for their outdoor ceremony, featuring a modern metal arch with flowers flowing from a white to pink gradient.
Lively Reception with Philadelphia Sports Fans
The reception at Willow Creek Winery was a lively affair, filled with laughter and love. Philadelphia sports fans brought an extra layer of excitement, making the celebration unforgettable. After their romantic ceremony, guests moved to the lovely ballroom space to eat, drink, and snap polaroid pictures for their custom and personal guest book. The dance floor was on point, and guests enjoyed a live band decked out in gear from their favorite Philly sports team, the Eagles. The energy was palpable, with everyone joining in the fun. At the end of the evening, everyone was gifted a delicious cabernet sauvignon from the venue’s own collection to enjoy!
