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 […]

It couldn’t get much more dramatic than being on the 51th floor balcony of The Top of the Tower just as a storm was passing. We had ominous dark skies to the south slashed with pops of heat lightning, Jeri’s gown was blowing in whispy clouds around her hips and John’s face looked like he […]

Caroline and Mike created the ultimate backyard wedding that lent itself perfectly to the nostalgic tone of a Super8 film. Let me just list a few things that you didn’t want to miss: horses and carrots, great combo (Caroline is an avid rider and professional trainer, horses are a significant part of her and Mike’s […]

It seems to be the year of rainy weddings, but once again we got lucky. At Diane and Dean’s, we got in a few minutes of outdoor pictures before it started raining (again). Ever prepared, QA Designs team pulled out the umbrellas and we took cover! Maybe twenty minutes later the rain passed and we […]

So, if you saw Jeri and John’s engagement session post, you’ll remember that John has a thing for weather. No, he loves weather. Since he was a kid, he’s been obsessed with it. He also loves photography. In John’s opinion, nothing could be better than a great big lightning storm happening outside the windows of […]

Kate and Ben got married in a museum known for medical oddities (which made us love them from the start). A stroll past the wedding cake and down the stairs leads you to highlights such as the conjoined liver of famous Siamese twins Chang and Eng. And the skeleton of the tallest giant in North […]

What goes better with Super8 than a fun-time couple whose immediate family owns a craft brewery? No need to actually answer that one but Mike and Robin are that couple and Crooked Eye was fueling the fun. Like I always says, “those who love craft beer love craft filmzzzz” -Dutch, 7/13/16 Good times had by […]

And did you get what you wanted from this life, even so? I did. And what did you want? To call myself beloved, to feel myself beloved on the earth. -Raymond Carver Julie and Jesse are kind, intelligent and creative. It was really a joy to photograph their wedding and meet their family and […]

So you’re the other Julie Melton. Worlds collide. I’m at my doppelgänger’s wedding to photograph her and Jesse. We not only share the same name, but we’re both blonde and fair-skinned and the same age. We could probably pass as sisters. Weirder still, when we discovered each other we only lived 20 miles apart! Imagine […]

A heavy sky loomed over the Mallard Island Yacht Club when we arrived to begin documenting Jenn and Marc’s day. I would have never guessed the weather was stormy when you entered the room with Jenn and her sisters and friends. And really, that’s how it should be. You are marrying the person you want […]

Besides an elopement we photographed with just the bride and groom, Rachel and Bill’s was the smallest, most intimate wedding we’ve ever photographed. It was delightful. Close family and a handful of friends, 16 in total. Just enough to fill the upstairs table at Vetri. Yes, Vetri. They did it right. Perhaps the best dinner […]

A cheese cake, ladies and gentlemen. No, not cheesecake. We are literally talking about a tower of cheese. And since Eric is a chef and built the cake himself, you can imagine he used some deliciously stinky cheese, too. It was divine. Love this wedding, these two people, this whole group of friends and family. […]

We can’t get enough of this garden wedding. Terrain is so charming and as for Larissa and Eric, well, they’re just about as cute as you can find. They’re also our neighbors, our friends, and dog park buddies…we actually met through Doc and Leo, woof woof.

Larissa pulled up wearing her mother’s wedding dress, a leather moto jacket, a big grin, and happy sad tears. Her mamma would have been so proud. Heart of gold, this girl. We have so many beautiful pictures of her and Eric’s Terrain wedding to share, but on Mother’s Day, I just had to post this […]

Jenn and Marc’s wedding was just as heartfelt and lovely as we knew it would be. The ceremony was my favorite part, located in the boathouse just a short path from Mallard Island Yacht Club. Huge stone fireplace adorned with bright spring flowers, large windows, and open air sides… all elements for beautiful pictures, particularly […]
