In my experience, ‘the peach and the pit’ usually occurred around the dinner table, after a great meal and a full day. Simply….each person is asked to ponder the best and worst part of their day; the sweetest, softest moment and the tougher, harder one.
This is a collection of Peach Photography clients and the sometimes funny but always reflective accounts of the their time with the camera.
the peach & pit
Peach: My favorite part of the night was taking a moment to stand back and watch all of our friends and family dancing it out and having the time of their lives. And they DID! One of our guests literally danced til her feet bled.
Pit: The morning was hectic, hair and makeup ran over as it always does so it felt like a whirlwind getting dressed and heading out for our first look – it wasn’t until the ceremony, standing up at the alter and holding his hands, when my entire arms started to tingle that I felt like I could take a breath and all was OK.
Simmone
Peach: Finishing our first dance! It was the last step of the day that we were nervous about, and it was actually so much fun! Plus once we finished the dance we could fully relax and enjoy the party.
Pit: Both of us regret not grabbing enough of the pizza from the Fiddler’s pizza truck at the end of the night, definitely our biggest mistake.
Izzy
Peach: First look, magical so happy to get all of these special moments before the craziness of the day took over.
Pit: “The dress bustle!! Advice to future brides take a video of your seamstress bustling the dress so you know exactly how to do it! No matter how easy they say it is.”
Tori
Peach: The love we felt was INDESCRIBABLE. The smiles, laughter, and pure love on every one
of our family and friends faces watching us start our forever will be grained in my mind for the rest of time. My husband and I were the happiest we've ever been!
Pit: I tried my best to stay in the moment but at times I felt myself worrying about how the day was unfolding and what others were thinking/doing. Also, my dress weighed what felt like 200
pounds by the end of the night!
Cait l.
Peach: Just living in the moment on the dance floor. My favorite memory was when our favorite song “wake me up” by Avicii came on later in the night and just jumping around with each other and all our friends. It was a moment I’ll never forget!
Pit: My best friend who married us came down with COVID days before the wedding so she wasn’t able to party with us.
ari c.
Peach: The best part of my day (besides marrying my husband) was being around friends and family. I loved getting ready with all the girls and just relaxing before everything. After we did our first look and got all the pictures, it was nice to again relax with the whole bridal party and
family before the ceremony.
Pit: Probably when all of the place cards fell off of our seating chart when we arrived at the venue at 7am. We had to alphabetize the place cards and figure out a new way to display them so they wouldn't fall off.
alli w.
Peach: The peach was exiting the altar with my husband!
Pit: The pit was probably being a little nervous before walking down the aisle, plus not being able to talk to everyone since we had so many guests!
alex
Peach: Our peach was getting to celebrate our day with all our loved ones. While that may sound cliche, Brock is from Arkansas, I am from New Jersey, and we had friends and family fly in from across the country- as far as California! It meant the world to have our favorite people all in one place.
Pit: My pit was not getting to enjoy our food as much as I had hoped! With so much to do and so many people to speak with, I rarely had a moment to enjoy our dinner. From what I hear, it was delicious!
olivia
Peach: The entire weekend was perfect from our rehearsal dinner on the beach, to the wedding day, and then the after party at my favorite Jersey shore bar- Leggetts.
Pit: Seeing Brandon so nervous was actually funny! Usually I am stressed/anxious, and we completely switched roles. I was completely calm and just taking in the day, he was very stressed. The other minor “pit” was my shoes… I should have opted for comfort over style for my wedding shoes!
Emily & Brandon Delpozo – 10.2.21
Peach: 1 - when we were going around the altar table in the church (supposed be 3 times) but the Bishop kept going. My husband and I looked at each other, then his mom, and in that moment we were able to see the entire church filled with the people we love.
Pit: When it was all over! I couldn't believe it - the day was so incredible and just flew right by!
joy c.
Peach: Being surrounded by so much love and happiness from the people who mean the most to us! It was the most incredible feeling that I will treasure forever!
Pit: Trying to figure out how to go to the bathroom in a ballgown...
Madison W.
Pit: Waking up at 6am to get hair and makeup done. Okay, not really even that was fun!
Peach: Walking out of the church as husband and wife, into the reception as Mr & Mrs.. the dancing.. the party.. I really can’t just choose one.
Heather & Adam – 9.14.19
Pit: NO PITS!!! I am sure somethings went wrong and I know I let the band play when we should have been eating, but I would go back and do it all over again 1M times again.
Peach: It’s hard to pinpoint a best part of the day – I was up at 6am so pumped to get ready and get married. The ceremony was emotional, the party was so fun, having everyone embrace the moment was perfect. I think I loved the moment right before Rob & I spoke when I got to look around and see all of the love looking our way.
