There are many favorite things about this film and the day we spent with Jackie and Tim. These two set themselves up for the exact day they wanted to share with family and friends. The secret was in the preparations, time and outlook on how everything unfolded. Let’s be honest, they had perfect weather on […]

What a gorgeous place for a wedding. The Michener Art Museum made it feel like Amanda and Greg’s wedding was in the English countryside rather than in the middle of Doylestown. From the pretty courtyard ceremony to the modern glass walled reception, this is one of our favorite venues in Bucks County for a wedding. Amanda […]

We had been looking forward to Keri and Kelly’s wedding for a long time and it was exactly as lovely as we envisioned it. These two and their crew (each had their brother stand up as their Man of Honor) were so much fun. Full of laughter and smiles, sweet glances and tender touch. They have the […]

Some of our favorite people, all together in one bucolic village filled with farm animals, apple trees, barns, vegetable gardens, and an occasional ghost wearing colonial clothes that truly scared us. Emma and Matt’s wedding at Old Bethpage Restoration Village was so full of joy and beauty. I’ve never seen a barn with such incredibly […]

Simran and Kevin’s wedding at the Please Touch Museum was spectacular. The day started off in our favorite Philly boutique hotel in Old City, Lokal. Filled with light and cool vintage finds, it was the perfect place to photograph Simran and Kevin getting ready with True Beauty Marks. From the rich, overflowing golden-hued bouquet by Devon & […]

Simran and Kevin’s Indian American wedding in Philadelphia was just incredible. From the Sikh ceremony on Friday to their elegant museum reception on Saturday, every piece of the celebration was perceptive and beautifully designed (thanks in part to Laurel and Elm!). The baraat is my favorite tradition at an Indian wedding and Simran and Kevin’s did not disappoint. It started with […]

They hold tight to one another and the courage they possess when together is more than the sum of two parts. That’s the beauty of love. You face everything head on, with your chin lifted and your lover’s hand held close to your heart. Please send Katrina and Colin positive vibes as they face another big challenge this week.

Dutch and I styled this shoot to inspire elopement ideas in Montana. We love elopements. They’re simple, intimate, and wildly free. It’s just you and the one you love in your favorite spot, exchanging rings. There’s something very pure about that. We actually got married in Montana ourselves at the base of a mountain at a […]

The open sky with an endless parade of clouds, the wheat undulating under the hot wind, sending wave upon wave of gold around my knees. Layers of mountains in the distance and the sharp sweet smell of sagebrush at my feet. Montana is home and it’s where I feel my truest self. Dutch and I photographed Christine a few weeks ago […]

It wouldn’t be a Grace Winery wedding without farm animals and when you add two veterinarians getting married, the animal count goes up exponentially. Let’s see, we’ll start with the showstopper, Rosie. Rosie is a sweet little donkey born just one week before with ears reaching up to the sky. She was irresistible. Rosie’s mommy was […]

The weather cooperated in a way that was totally unreal for August. A light breeze, almost no humidity, and a blue sky with a few puffy clouds floating through. It was unreal. Becca and A.J. had a beautiful day at Penn Ryn Mansion, lots of happy tears and a wealth of friends cheering them on. Congratulations […]

A.J.’s face when he saw Becca on the Bellevue balcony for their first look was priceless. More coming from their Penn Ryn wedding soon!

A little preview of Chloe and Chris’s vineyard wedding at the Inn at Grace Winery. We’ll give you Bishop the horse in the teaser, but you’ll have to wait for Rosie the baby (one week old!) for the full post next week! Sweet flowers by Love ‘n Fresh, gorgeous makeup by Shimmer and Spice, hair by […]

Longwood Gardens, does it get any prettier than this? Oh yes, add Simran and Kevin in. These two are getting married next weekend! Two days of wedding celebration, starting with a Sikh ceremony which features Kevin riding in on a horse for the baraat (my favorite part) and the exchange of garlands. We cannot wait!

Betsy and Andrew’s wedding was just as cool as we knew it would be. These two first met at Bob and Barbara’s, Philly’s favorite dive bar, so when they were throwing around the idea of meeting at the bar for their first look we knew this was going to be a fun day. Nothing like toasting the […]

Fernbrook Farms is an exceptionally beautiful wedding venue. They have a resident cow, several goats, a bucolic meadow full of sheep and wandering chickens. There are fields of flowers, berries, and vegetables. The house itself is beautiful and the grounds just go on and on. They also have a field-to-table mentality with an award winning […]

Photographing outdoors in meadows and the woods is my favorite place to be. I really love photographing natural, outdoor engagement sessions around Philadelphia in places like Valley Forge. I will, however, admit to sometimes losing my sense of self-preservation when I get too deep into shooting. Case in point – while photographing Chloe and Chris the sun […]

Philadelphia food trucks at a 23rd Street Armory wedding, can you imagine a better party/wedding/shindig? Which is just how a wedding should be. Erin and John were so relaxed, so cool, so completely present. They had an awesome wedding party. The girls all picked out their own dresses (plus one jumpsuit which I loved) in […]

Chloe and Chris. I was standing in their backyard a few hours before I met them for the first time. I swear that’s not as creepy as it sounds. It’s strange, really, and quite serendipitous. I was scouting our bride, Whitney’s, parent’s yard for her upcoming wedding photos. Whitney’s mom Pam was showing me around […]
