This is why - snowbells have pendent, where as mock orange have horizontal blooms. Also, the size of the bloom in relation to the leaves looks more like a snowbell. But I see your point the leaves look a little like mock orange leaves. Very perplexing. Sometimes it is hard to make a good identification from just a picture. One way to see is to ask Aubrey if the plant was fragrant. Thanks for your identification. It is nice to have some verify whether or not my identification is correct. Jason,

Philadelphus sps. double form. They are decidiuous shrubs that grow to about 6ft in height with sweetly fragrant flowers in mid spring to early summer. They bloom on previous seasons wood so try not to prune too much in the fall and early spring. The shrub in question is actually the sweet mockorange. Philadelphus sps. double form.
