As a Seaford Wedding Photographer, I am always delighted when I get to document a wedding right here in Seaford. Nothing is better than getting in my car and driving a few minutes to be on location. Things just don't get easier than.
Seaford Wedding Photographer at Gethsemane United Methodist Church
This lovely Seaford couple's wedding day started with clear blue skies and a cool fresh breeze and by ceremony time the weather was just perfect. The ceremony was held at Gethsemane United Methodist Church https://seafordgumc.com/  and as any Seaford Wedding Photographer will tell you, this church is a great place for wedding photography. It has a small but very functional bridal room and plenty of space for friends and family to gather before and after the ceremony. The main chapel is a beautiful open space with some nice afternoon light.
Seaford Wedding Photographer: The Reception at Seaford Volunteer Fire Department
Since both Cassidy and Shane were born and raised in Seaford, and are small business owners themselves, it is very important to them to support local businesses whenever they can. So for the reception, they didn't have to look far and chose the reception hall at the Seaford Volunteer Fire Department. https://www.seaford87.com
The upstairs hall is a great open space that can accommodate about 200 people. The perfect size for a couple who has their roots firmly in place in Seaford and lots of friends and family to host on their wedding day. The one problem is that the hall in the middle of town, which not only means that parking is at a premium but also that the surrounding area leaves much to be desired for wedding photography. Believe me, when I first saw the outside, this Seaford Wedding Photographer felt a little disappointed. However, where there is a will, a great photo locale will be found.Â
Seaford Wedding Photography on location at the Montessori School
Since neither the church nor the reception hall had good opportunities for a great photoshoot, we needed to come up with a plan B for the photos. What we needed was a locale that was close enough to both the church and the reception. We only had about 30 minutes to get our photos done. We really couldn't take the time to drive anywhere out of the way.Â
I didn't take but a few minutes of talking back and forth for us to stumble on a great idea.Â
 The Montessori School happens to be dap-smack between the church and the reception hall and offers some nice outdoor areas for some photographs. Shane volunteered to check and see if we could use the lawn for about 30 minutes. As it turns out, sometimes all you have to do is ask.Â
Cassidy and ShaneÂ
met in high school and as Cassidy tells it "Shane was one of those guys in high school all the girls swooned over. He played all the sports and was incredibly popular. I on the other hand was a nerd. I knew that I had to get through high school to get to college so I could study what I wanted. High school was just a stepping stone for me. My girlfriends and I looked at the popular kids and just knew that we could never be like them. Then one day a friend convinced us to go to a party with him and that is where I ran into Shawn. He turned around with two drinks in his hands. We almost bumped into one another. Without hesitation, he said ' this is for you,' as turns out the drink was for his then-girlfriend. We just talked the entire evening and became really good friends. Turns out he is more than just a football player and really smart. After a few months of just being friends, he broke up with his girlfriend and we got together and never looked back. Can you believe we been together for over 10 years? It is about time we are tying the knot."Â
