A winter Hotel Du Pont wedding? Now that sounds pretty amazing. When I think of late December in Wilmington, Delaware, I picture gray skies and brisk temperatures. In the middle of downtown, glowing like a beacon to the cold wanderers, sits the Hotel Du Pont. It’s a stunning hotel, to say the least, and also serves and a magnificent wedding venue.
I must admit, however, that for Natalie and Erik’s late December wedding, it was not frigid and gray. Quite the contrary, it was mild and sunny! They had the best of both worlds for their wedding— the availability of glowy natural light (winter is the BEST) and the warmth of the historic Hotel Du Pont.
It’s hard to believe that this wedding was 8 months ago, and this week it will be in the mid 90’s! What I wouldn’t give to go back to this December day. I am not sure why more couples don’t get married in December. I have never photographed a December wedding I didn’t love!
Natalie and Erik really set the bar high with their wedding. The art deco details, the live music, the enthusiastic family and friends, the choreographed first dance and outfit change, and just in general, their awesome attitudes. Natalie and Erik are people you want to be friends with. I left their wedding feeling so excited about the day and the memories I helped them capture. Although let’s be real, they did most of the heavy lifting for months and months before I showed up with my cameras!
I haven’t shared much from this wedding before, so I am thrilled to be able to do so now! Once you take a peek, I am sure you’ll be smitten as well!
