Ms. Sloth, Philadelphia Age and Occupation: 35, Account Manager and Fashion Blogger Fiance's Age and Occupation: 30, Design Admin Engagement Date: December 25, 2009 Wedding Date: May 2011 Venue: Bartram's Garden About Me: I'm an internet junkie and music snob with a good eye for a bargain. I couldn't live without thrift store shopping, cheeseburgers, sushi, Coke Zero, websites devoted to silly photos of baby animals, Photoshop, and Mr. Sloth. Speaking of which, he and I are a pair of goofball homebody nerds who love our beagle (the most ridiculously adorable dog EVER) to an embarrassing degree. We're planning a low-key and intimate yet festive and quirky outdoor wedding with DIY details and deeply personal touches, and it's all taking place in the city where we fell in love and call home: Philadelphia.
About Ms. Sloth

From the beginning, we planned to do all of our photography before the ceremony, so that we, our families, and our attendants could enjoy cocktail hour with our guests. So you’re going to have to sit through a handful of photo posts before we get to the main event. Hang in there!

When we booked Bartram’s Garden as our venue, I was really excited to have some photos taken in the big grassy field with the Philadelphia skyline in the background. I loved the juxtaposition of the tall, wild grass framed by the sleek skyscrapers.

Unfortunately, while the rain had slowed down to a drizzle by the time we got to Bartram’s, it was too foggy to really see the skyline.

Still, it was a pretty grassy field, and we got some good photos, so all’s well that ends well. What you can’t tell in these photos is that the only thing going through my mind was please don’t fall please don’t fall please don’t fall please don’t fall because it was muddy out there, you guys! And I am one clumsy lady. Luckily, I managed to stay upright. Yay!

And if you squint, just maybe you can see glorious Center City Philadelphia behind us. Maybe.

Since the rain was pretty much holding off, we grabbed a few more portraits next. So, we were off to explore the rest of the garden…

How did we get here?

These are so beautiful Sloth! And um, @hippo I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed the nails! I’m obsessing over that color right now. What is it?

Beautiful! I love how we have this way of imagining our engagement portraits and wedding photos, and they never turn out the way we pictured them, but somehow they’re just perfect. :)
