Chrissy and Adam’s wedding felt exactly how a wedding should feel – no worries, no stress. They had a look of pure joy on their faces all day. It couldn’t have been a more beautiful day for an outdoor garden wedding at the Rockwood Carriage House. The temperature was so mild we were even able […]

Meagan and Massimo, they burn bright. People are drawn to them, encircled by their warmth, fueled by their energy, creativity. Their wedding was packed with friends, all wildly funny, from coast to coast. There were three days of cabins, rivers, fire pits, and non-stop shenanigans; all the ingredients for the best kind of wedding. Did […]

The pastoral Welkinweir Estate is as beautiful as they come for an outdoor Pennsylvania wedding. It’s rustic and secluded, full of old towering trees, and almost big enough to lose yourself in. Allison and Michael had a gorgeous fall day which we took advantage of by exploring Welkinweir’s many hidden gems (barn ruins!). We started […]

You wouldn’t know it looking at these sunny pictures, but Nishali and Jeremy’s wedding reception was almost washed away. Short story – it rained so hard during the first dance and through the toasts that the dance floor flooded, generators shorted out and the edge tables were soaked. My point in even mentioning the deluge […]

What can we say? It was a phenomenal day. So much joy! Swirling, dancing, drumming. It was a hot day, real hot. It was the Indian-wedding-party-day preceding Nishalil and Jeremy’s wedding (in which the heat was replaced by the biggest deluge we have ever witnessed. by far). But that story is for tomorrow. On this […]

We could tell a story about each image from Hana and Wes’s wedding at the historic Sylvan Lake Lodge in Custer State Park. It was Hana’s passion, Wes’s thoughtfulness, their family’s generosity and genuineness. It was one of the most spiritual and joyful events we’ve ever photographed. A few of our favorite moments… When Wes’s […]

It’s not often that we photograph morning weddings, but when we do it’s so refreshing. Daphne and Jack’s wedding at the Cira Centre Atrium at JG Domestic was on a rainy Sunday morning that made the light absolutely perfect as it poured through the wall of windows and lit the room. Daphne and Jack’s wedding […]

Hillary and Nic’s Lancaster wedding at Lime Springs Farm was one of our favorites of 2012. It was full of DIY rustic details and vintage touches throughout. We were so excited when The Knot called and asked if they could share it in their 2013 Fall/Winter issue. It just came out on news stands, check […]

Dana and Nick’s wedding at Faunbrook Bed & Breakfast was about as DIY as it gets. From the “poof’s made out of coffee filters (500-700 each!) to painting signs to designing the entire table top, Dana was the driving creative force and her family helped execute every part. My favorite detail was probably the simplest […]

I knew this was going to be fun the first time I met Nora and Patrick; Patrick started talking about how he’d like some kind of creepy picture in the cemetery at Aldie Mansion after their wedding. I was intrigued. I am a huge fan of photographs that have a dark surrealism to them so […]

Weddings at the Morris Arboretum are always fun to photograph because the grounds are huge and we love shooting outdoors. Now that they have the Out On the Limb exhibit, it’s even better. Imagine having your cocktail hour on a suspension bridge 50 feet above the forest! Liz and Chris did and it was awesome. […]

I have a feeling that the Dorrance H. Hamilton Garden at the Kimmel Center is going to be THE place for wedding receptions in Philadelphia. Brooke and John’s wedding was stunning. The atrium rooftop garden fills with light as the sun goes down and it just glows. At night, you have views of the cityscape […]

A wedding gown sweeping through a barn, mason jars full of pale pink flowers and succulents, vintage lace covering the tables, fields of corn all around…it was just the right mix of rustic and pretty for a wedding at Lime Spring Farm in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. Hillary and Nic couldn’t have done it better. Dutch […]
