Bishops Farmstead Wedding

By noreenturner | Weddings | No Comments

I know I keep saying that I’ll eventually get caught up on blog posts but it’s September and I’m just getting around to my spring weddings! I swear someday I’ll share all of my amazing couples! Today is the day I spotlight Megan and Kristen and their Bishops Farmstead wedding! These two ladies are some of the most fun-loving, easy-going, wonderful people I have had the pleasure of photographing! They were of course, another couple affected by covid and had to postpone their wedding to 2021. They got married last year in an intimate ceremony but were able to finally have their dream wedding this past spring! It was a gorgeous day and not just because of the weather but because there was so much joy surrounding these two! Congratulations Megan and Kristen!!

Jackie and Tyler’s Winter Wedding

By noreen | Weddings | No Comments

Jackie and Tyler celebrated a wonderful, covid-safe, winter wedding this year – it was my first wedding of 2021! Their original plans involved a more traditional celebration but obviously had to change due to the circumstances. Determined to still get married, Jackie and Tyler celebrated with close friends and family and at various homes in the area. We started the day at Jackie’s dads’ house with getting ready and the first look. Afterward, we all headed to a snow-covered park for portraits. Then we held the intimate ceremony at Jackie and Tyler’s house before celebrating the reception at Jackie’s moms’! When Jackie and Tyler originally booked their wedding, we did not expect that plans would have to change due to covid but to everyone’s surprise, the pandemic lasted much longer than we all thought. I love how these two were able to change their plans and still have an amazing day! It’s probably because they’re so awesome and have those wonderful personalities where they just go with the flow and love every minute no matter what! I’m so glad to have been a small part of their beautiful day. Congratulations Jackie and Tyler!

Pomme Radnor Wedding

By noreen | Weddings | No Comments

Jaclyn and Joseph’s Pomme Radnor wedding was one of the very few that wasn’t completely destroyed by covid! Their original plans were to get married at Manayunk Brewery but when they realized that wouldn’t work, they were able to shift their plans and get married at Pomme Radnor. Their day was absolutely beautiful from the weather to the details, to the love from family and friends. I had the pleasure of meeting the newlyweds in the fall of 2019 for their engagement session and I just loved them right from the start. They are kind, down-to-earth, and genuinely happy people – the exact couples I love to photograph! I’m so happy to finally share photos from their wedding day – enjoy!

LBI Beach Elopement

By noreen | Uncategorized, Weddings | No Comments

I am slowly but surely getting these 2020 weddings posted! My goal was to have my blog up to date by the time my 2021 wedding season starts but that is only two weeks behind and I’m just not sure I’ll be able to do it! I am really excited for this year’s wedding season and the fact that so far, about 90% of my weddings are still continuing as planned! Doing these blog posts is actually getting me ready and pumped for a brand new season.

This post is from Cortney and David’s LBI beach elopement last summer. In typical covid fashion, our bride and groom has to reschedule their original plans but decided to have close family gather for a small ceremony on the beach. It was truly beautiful and these intimate weddings quickly became some of the highlights of 2020 for me.

Enjoy Cortney and David’s gorgeous day!

Cape May Wedding

By noreen | Weddings | No Comments

Just a few short months after Rachel and Matt’s engagement session I got to see them AGAIN for their family-focused Cape May wedding! Matt was missing his mullet this time though! This wedding is now one of my all-time favorites. Rachel and Matt didn’t plan on getting married in Cape May with just a few friends and family but like most 2020 brides, they have a change of plans. Their actual wedding day still ended up being beautiful – both in terms of weather and the moments that filled the day. Prep started at the house and then everyone gathered for some family photos out on the front lawn. While we did some beautiful family photos, we also had a ton of hilarious photos as well! After the ceremony, Rachel, Matt, and I were able to head back to the beach for the second round of photos, this time with the sun setting behind us. We ended the night with great food, drinks, music, and a choreographed dance routine by the groom!

Enjoy this picture heavy post 🙂

Tidewater Inn Wedding

By noreen | Weddings | No Comments

It has been months since I have blogged anything! This year was crazy for so many people, especially anyone involved in the wedding industry. Weddings have happening in between shut downs and outdoors, in driveways, beaches, and backyards. Some weddings went just as planned and some were scaled back in a major way, saving the big celebration for 2021 and 2022. What was a major surprise of 2020 was the fact that I was insanely busy this past fall! After delivering my summer weddings and elopements in September, busy season hit and every weekend was full of family photos, mini sessions, and elopements! I was definitely grateful for the work but I was not expecting it! Hence the lack of blog posts and social media sharing. Let’s also add in the fact that I went back to my day job full time AND my kids have all been home virtually learning. It has been an insane year.

Now let’s get to the good part. Stephanie and Steve’s wedding was one of the very few that continued just as planned! Their Tidewater Inn wedding in Easton, MD was allowed to happen according to state guidelines and it was a welcome celebration during a very crazy year. You might remember Stephanie and Steve from their engagement session at Swarthmore College. They finally tied the knot this past summer with friends, family and most importantly, their son Wyatt, all in attendance! Congratulations Stephanie and Steve and thank you for having me as a part of your day!

Cafe Madison Wedding

By noreen | Weddings | No Comments

I’m not sure what surprises me more – the fact that I haven’t blogged since the summer, or the fact this Ashley and Jeff’s Cafe Madison wedding was only the second full wedding I photographed in 2020. And it happened in August. This year has obviously been different for everyone and not one that any of us could have planned for. If anyone told me that after hitting my 2020 goal for weddings, that 90% of them would reschedule for next year, I would have said you were crazy. Yet here we are. I have only photographed 4 weddings that were actually meant to happen this year. Don’t get me wrong – I have been busy. I have had the pleasure of photographing a lot of minimonies and microweddings in backyards, beaches, and driveways. I even get to photograph those couples again next year for their full weddings! I am thrilled that Ashley and Jeff tied the knot this year, but I’m also a bit sad, because they are one of the few couples that I won’t be seeing again in 2021.

You might remember Ashley and Jeff from their NYC engagement session that we photographed in December 2019. It was a different world then as we wandered through Central Park, never even thinking that less than a year later everyone here would be wearing masks. Despite the crazy times we are living through, the newlyweds were able to hold their dream wedding this past August. Cafe Madison went above and beyond for Ashley, Jeff, and all of their couples. They set up a massive tent in their parking lot with fans and plenty of airflow. The tent and table setups were gorgeous and had the perfect string lighting accenting the high ceilings. I love seeing how resilient people and businesses are, and how so many people are making things work no matter what.

I loved working with this gorgeous couple and wish them both the happiest lives together, along with their dogs! Congratulations Ashley and Jeff!

LBI Wedding

By noreen | Elopement, Weddings | No Comments

You can add Stephanie and Kyle to the long list of couples’ weddings affected by the COVID pandemic. You might remember these two wonderful humans from their engagement session last summer. Well, their original dream plans were to have an LBI wedding, but their reality was to get married at Belle Voir Manor in Bensalem. I think it’s kind of ironic that after all of the stress of rescheduling, that they were actually able to have some form of their dream LBI wedding! The newlyweds were set to get married on June 13th but postponed until July, and then had to postpone again to July of 2021. However, they still wanted to proceed with a micro wedding on the beach and I was more than willing to photograph it! I love Steph & Kyle, and their families too! It was the perfect little wedding on a perfect beach day! And it just made me even more excited to photograph their second wedding in 2021!

Philadelphia Microweddings

By noreen | Elopement, Weddings | No Comments

What was once going against tradition, Philadelphia microweddings, elopements, and intimate gatherings are about to become much more popular. Due to the recent coronavirus pandemic which has just left everyone’s lives upside down, the wedding industry has also taken a huge hit. I admit that I was very naive when this all began and thought that my early through mid-summer couples would not have been affected. Now as we near closer to June I know how wrong I was. At this point, I don’t know when my next full wedding will happen. Many of my couples plan on getting married on the day they originally had planned but in a much different way. I want to share a few things for my own couples and also for anyone planning a smaller wedding in the near future – and it’s all good!

Philadelphia microweddings, elopements and intimate gatherings by Noreen Turner Photography

In Philadelphia there are so many great places that accommodate couples looking for a smaller affair, such as the Hotel Palomar. In the heart of the city, Hotel Palomar offers an excellent location close to Rittenhouse and their library provides a perfect spot for a first look, or family photos. There are so many great places to get married in Philadelphia!

There is something so great and carefree about having a small wedding. You have the time to really talk with each of your guests while also having the freedom to really make sure that everyone gets photographed! No one gets lost in a small wedding.

And when no one gets lost in a small wedding, that also means that (depending the location) your pets can be included!

Time is on your side if you are planning to elope! Did you have your heart set on sunset photos? You have the freedom to really tailor your own timeline with a small wedding.

In the end, and what I always tell my couples, is that what truly matters is you are getting married! Things always go wrong on a wedding day – big or small. Of course no one expected for things to go wrong at this magnitude but what matters and why we’re all here in the first place, is for you to say “I do”!

Hyatt at the Bellevue Wedding

By noreen | Weddings | No Comments

With all of the talk about postponing weddings lately it seems fitting that Kaitlyn and Rob’s Bellevue wedding is the next on the blog. These two successfully postponed their November 2019 wedding after a tragic car accident and were able to celebrate this past February, just three months later. In the end, the date didn’t matter for the newlyweds – only the fact they were happy and healthy, and able to have one hell of a party – mostly thanks to Lisa, their wedding coordinator at the Bellevue.

I had the pleasure of meeting Kaitlyn, Rob, and Kaitlyn’s parents in my studio to discuss their day and then photographed their engagement session on a beautiful spring day in old city. Their wedding day was full of amazing surprises planned by friends and family! Their niece beautifully sang their first dance song, one of the maids of honor had the most amazing toast which was written to the tune of the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, and the best man surprise everyone with a visit from the Eagles pep band! It’s difficult to accurately put in words what an incredible day it was, so continue scrolling for a complete overload of photos! Congratulations Rob and Kaitlyn! It was an honor to photograph your wedding day. And thank you to all of the vendors that pulled together to make the new wedding date a complete success!
