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 […]

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.

These two had some serious style. Lesley’s retro updo was the perfect mix of daring and elegant, my favorite of the year. I love when someone takes a risk with their look that really expresses their personality and style. Nate looked dashing as always, especially in those shades. What can we say, we had a […]

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 […]
