Glen Foerd Mansion Wedding

Glen Foerd Mansion Wedding:
Tasha + Kevin

Combine a lovely historic mansion, a ceremony site overlooking the Delaware River, and a pretty wrap-around porch and you’ve got the perfect outdoor wedding venue. Glen Foerd Mansion is just near enough to Philadelphia to be convenient, but far enough to feel like you’re out in the country. We love this venue because it’s grand, […]

Michener Art Museum Wedding:
Amanda + Greg

What a gorgeous place for a wedding. The Michener Art Museum made it feel like Amanda and Greg’s wedding was in the English countryside rather than in the middle of Doylestown. From the pretty courtyard ceremony to the modern glass walled reception, this is one of our favorite venues in Bucks County for a wedding. Amanda […]

Rockwood Carriage House Wedding:
Chrissy + Adam

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 […]

A Backyard, Black Tie Wedding:
Nishali + Jeremy

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 […]

An Indian wedding celebration:
Nishali + Jeremy

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 […]

Faunbrook Wedding: Dana + Nick

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 […]

If you asked us a few years ago if we’d get involved with motion or videography the answer was a simple “nope”. And we are still not doing “videography”. […]

Morris Arboretum Wedding: Liz + Chris

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. […]
