Wilmington, Delaware

Jessica & Christian’s Wedding at Brantwyn Venue

Hey friends,

Today, I want to share a wedding story that holds a special place in my heart. I recently had the honor of traveling to Wilmington, Delaware, to capture Jessica and Christian’s beautiful wedding at the Brantwyn venue. This wasn’t just any wedding—it was a grand celebration filled with love, family, and unforgettable moments.

Jessica’s father, Darren Richie, was the one who hired me and flew me out to Delaware with all expenses paid. Sadly, he passed away just three weeks after the wedding. Knowing that I was able to provide Jessica with the last footage of her dad means more to me than words can express. It’s moments like these that remind me why I do what I do.

The day itself was as beautiful as it was emotional. Jessica and Christian’s wedding was huge, filled with joy and laughter, but also touched by the bittersweet knowledge of what was to come. Darren was such a kind and supportive man, and I’ll never forget how he helped me out of a tricky situation that day.

Here’s what happened: I was using my drone to capture some stunning aerial shots of the venue when it got stuck on the tallest tree ever. I was panicking, trying to figure out how to get it down without damaging it further, when Darren stepped in. He was calm and determined, and with his help, we managed to retrieve the drone. Unfortunately, it was completely broken, but thankfully, I had insurance with Best Buy, so I was able to get a new one. That moment is just one of the many ways he showed his generous spirit.

Looking back, I’m so grateful I was there to capture this special day for Jessica and Christian. It was a privilege to document not just their love, but the deep bond between Jessica and her dad. Those moments are now preserved forever, a lasting memory of a father’s love for his daughter.

Thank you, Jessica and Christian, for allowing me to be a part of your wedding day. It was an honor to witness and capture the love that surrounded you, and I’ll always hold this experience close to my heart.

xoxo,
