Broadwater Farm isn’t just a working farm or a farm-turned pastoral venue. It’s the childhood home of Katy and the Andersen family, tucked in the rolling hills of the Phoenixville country-side. We’ve posted several times about Katy and Jared and their wedding. All of it is true…the beautiful landscape, the herds of sheep and cattle, the rare sighting of the hermetic […]

Katy and Jared’s wedding was personalized right down to the sweet corn ice cream grown by her dad and made by The Bent Spoon where Katy worked on her thesis. Where to begin? Katy and Jared were married at Broadwater Farm, which is where Katy grew up. It is a stunning property with a perfect white house, double wrap […]

Moyo Yoga is a brand-new wedding venue and yoga retreat with a historic red barn and beautiful trees. Given it’s relaxed vibe, rustic landscaping and beauty, it was a perfect fit for Julia and Brett. Julia got ready at a gorgeous historic house (air bnb wins again!) nearby. All the bridesmaids helped with each other’s hair and makeup and […]

Some of our favorite people, all together in one bucolic village filled with farm animals, apple trees, barns, vegetable gardens, and an occasional ghost wearing colonial clothes that truly scared us. Emma and Matt’s wedding at Old Bethpage Restoration Village was so full of joy and beauty. I’ve never seen a barn with such incredibly […]

The open sky with an endless parade of clouds, the wheat undulating under the hot wind, sending wave upon wave of gold around my knees. Layers of mountains in the distance and the sharp sweet smell of sagebrush at my feet. Montana is home and it’s where I feel my truest self. Dutch and I photographed Christine a few weeks ago […]

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. […]

Style Me Pretty loved Emilee and Jason’s charming and rustic wedding bursting with peonies and vintage finds. They had their wedding ceremony in an open meadow of a horse farm in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, the cocktail hour in the barn, and a tented reception. You can see the full feature here. See more of Emilee […]

Our neighbors Rachel and Justin got married! That makes two Queen Village neighbor weddings in a row. This keeps happening and I love it…someone contacts us to photograph their wedding, we chat and say we live in Philadelphia and then when we set up the meeting, surprise, we live only a few blocks apart! Rachel […]

It’s September on the Russian River in Guerneville, California. What could really be better then shooting a friend’s wedding here? Massimo, a friend I’ve had since I was 9-ish, who I’ve spent more time in water with than on dry land. The entire wedding party and I are all great friends from way-back, picking up […]

I always love when a bride gets ready in her childhood home, it lends such warmth to the photos. Old stuffed animals on the bed and first place ribbons on the wall, it’s touching to see those details as she steps into her wedding gown. Emilee and Jason got married at a dear friend’s horse […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Liz and Scot’s engagement session at the Hidden Valley Horse Farm in Pennsylvania was featured on Style Me Pretty this week! This makes me happy for two reasons. First of all, farms are my thing. Not in a trendy worn wood and Mason jar kind of way, but in a down and dirty working farm […]
