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 […]

Appleford Estate is easily one of our top outdoor wedding venues in the Philadelphia area. The rose garden, the open lawn for games during cocktail hour, the giant tree shading the ceremony, the historical stone home…it all makes for a perfect place to enjoy a garden wedding. Also, did I mention there was a dog […]

A bride and groom’s first look is one of my favorite parts of the wedding day. There is so much anticipation and planning leading up to this one moment. Erin and John’s first look really embodied what we love about it. Look at John’s face. It’s all right there; the smile, the excitement, the slight […]

Janine and Chris’s wedding at Lake George was unbelievable. I can safely that say it’s the first wedding we’ve photographed that started with water skiing at 6am! Janine and Chris met at Lake George when they were kids, waterskiing every summer and having summer romances. So it was perfectly natural for them to take a […]

We met Amanda when she was a bridesmaid in her best friend Alexa’s wedding a few years back. Now it was Amanda’s turn and Alexa stood right by her side. It was so much fun to see everyone again! The morning was an emotional whirlwind while Amanda was getting ready… her mom crying when she […]

A sneak peek of Caitlin & Stephen’s wedding that started at the prep school where they met as kids and ended at the The Kimmel Center‘s Hamilton Garden. How cute are her sneaks? Love how she had such a romantic bridal look and then hid sequined Converse All Stars underneath. You’ll see her beautifully hand-knit […]

I don’t mind watching this film for the hundredth time on this rainy Philly morning. Let’s go to O’ahu, Hawaii, in specific the windward coast of Lanikai. A light trade wind blowing across turquoise water. Lush green mountains surrounding surf breaks. Yeah, I could get used to that. But for now, I’ll hit play again. […]

Elopements and city hall weddings are my new favorite thing. The intimacy, the subtle excitement, the fact that I’m sometimes the only witness. All of the extraneous details have been stripped away to leave raw emotion and honestly, just a really lovely, no stress day. It doesn’t hurt that Philadelphia has the prettiest City Hall […]
