a phiLOVEdelphia story: Turkeys Take the Art Museum (Part II)

You’ve seen plenty of Mr. Turkey and me the last couple posts, so now it’s time to move onto the wedding party shots. I haven’t talked a ton about our bridesmaids and groomsmen in this blog (you know, privacy and all), but it must be said that we were incredibly lucky to have the people we did at our side on this big day.

From family to childhood and college friends, Mr. Turkey and I felt beyond honored that everyone made the sacrifices and trips necessary to be part of our wedding celebrations (you have read about all the ladies’ amazing contributions to my fashionista shower and bachelorette). We tried to say thank you to both the men and women at our rehearsal, but the bottom line is that nothing will every truly express our full gratitude.

However, beyond the “mushy” stuff, these people made our day FUN. You’ll see photos of them tearing up the dance floor later, but for now you’ll have to settle with some more traditional pics. I think it will be easy to see why nerves were limited, the day went so smoothly and our resounding memory from May 12th was pure and simple joy.

All photos are by Philip Gabriel Photography.

Like I said...pure and simple joy
With two shooters on the day, the photographs went fairly quickly and the Gabes (yes, the two photographers shared a name) captured both full group shots and some individual men / women pics.

The whole crew - nice and spread out
As with the prior posts, I’m going to let the images do the talking…you don’t need a play-by-play from me!

With the beautiful bridesmaids
Without question, one of the best pictures of the day (Mr. Turkey wants to frame it)
Trying to strike our best pose
You already saw a variation of this photo, but had to share another - love how "in the moment" it is
Oh, you know, just your usual day touring the Art Museum

Traditional shot in front of the skyline
Now that's more like our group! Favorite part - Brother Turkey picked up bridesmaid D without warning!! 
Somehow Gabe made it look like no one was around - love
To close the photos out, we had to meet the trolley at the bottom of the Rocky Steps.

Unfortunately we didn't pull a "reverse Rocky" and run down the steps to Eakins Oval
Unfortunately, there was no “reverse Rocky” running down to Eakin’s Oval!

Where did you take your wedding party shots? Anyone else want to give a shot out to their bridesmaids and groomsmen for making their day?
