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 […]

Aloha! On this rainy, dreary day let’s bask in the Hawaiin sun for a bit. Cristina and Jeff both grew up on Oahu and live there now. Can you imagine? Being surrounded by palm trees and turquoise waters every day? Growing up and having that in your backyard? Oh, it was so much fun to […]

Can I tell you how much I love a City Hall wedding? The buzzing excitement of a couple eloping? If you need a pick-me-up just go hang around the NE corner of City Hall on a Thursday at 3:00 pm. It’s like electrons are in the air. You see the anticipation, the looks exchanged with […]

Aloha! Dutch and I are in Hawaii photographing a wedding (I know, it’s a rough life). Between lounging on the beach and stuffing ourselves with papayas and poke, we finally sat down at the computer to put together a few of our favorite moments from 2016. It was an eventful year for us, full of […]

Waking up to snow falling makes me incredibly happy. And it’s one of those perks that comes with working from home; hey, we stayed up til midnight working so we can totally sleep in, make pancakes this morning and watch the snow fall. Oh, it’s still snowing? That’s when we throw on our cross country […]

The last post of 2016. I don’t think I’ve ever seen two people make each other laugh more than Nicole and Rob. I had the feeling that even if I wasn’t there with a camera, they would be in this exact spot, being just as silly, looking at each other just as sweetly.

Back in Cape May with a Super 8mm film at the Southern Mansion. Sara and Matt live nearby in South Philly and are lovers of all things outdoors. And as such planned a garden wedding in one of the nicest places in New Jersey…some would say the world. They told me the ceremony and the […]

A wedding at Hollyhedge Estate feels a little like you’re in the English countryside. Standing in the stone courtyard surrounded by ivy-covered walls, walking by the fountain and the boxwood-lined path down to the pond. A historic manor house is tucked cozily into the woods and a nice meadow opens up below. If the weather […]

I love when the couples we’re photographing can relax and look at each other in a way that’s real, not because I asked them to, but because they are together at this very moment in the golden sun. It’s not easy to be photographed, or maybe it’s not easy to forget that you’re being photographed. […]

The little bit of rain Lara and John had on their wedding day was just enough to give an ethereal quality to the light. Just lovely. The veil blowing, the mist, and two people so happy it could have been a torrential rainstorm and I don’t think either of them would have cared. The night […]

Pine trees and ferns and lichen-covered rocks down a quiet little path through the woods while nearby Lake Naomi spills itself wide open, circled by sun-kissed leaves just turning orange at the tip. The intimate woods and the bright expansive lake, such a shock when you turn from one to the other. Eyes adjusting to […]

First of all, I had the pleasure of photographing Jill and Zach’s rehearsal dinner at Percy Street BBQ. Perfect spot for a fun, rowdy, lip-smacking party before the big day. BBQ and weddings just go hand in hand (ok, not really, but Dutch and I had bbq at our own wedding so I’m partial). I […]

Phoebe and Ryan were married at the National Museum of American Jewish History and had the forsite to plan everything for their wedding within a few block radius. From getting ready at Hotel Monaco (our favorite) to having portraits taken in Independence Park, everything was a simple stroll through Old City. Their day was relaxing, […]

They drove from Michigan. They thought Philadelphia’s City Hall was a beautiful building, perfect place to elope and be married. So why not? Road trip! Extra special, amazing, life-altering road trip. They brought along their Self-Uniting Marriage Certificate and met me at City Hall. First step, find two witnesses. That was fun! Dilworth Plaza was […]

Anna and Glenn are getting married this weekend! Though we were already booked for their wedding date, we had the pleasure of photographing them for their engagement session last fall. Best of luck to them this Saturday!
