Erin & Waiel – Turbine Hall

Lending a hand to my good friend and fellow Philly8 member, David Zaveloff, a few of us worked together to cover Erin and Waiel’s wedding at the AWESOME Turbine Hall in Chester, right on the Delaware River.

Turbine Hall is a converted PECO power plant that now houses a few corporate offices, and one of the Philadelphia areas newest and different reception hall.

Here are a few that I got to take during the day.

99 Restaurant – Dining for a Cause

Still catching up on some past shoots, here is one that I shot for 99 Restaurant.  I photographed the grand opening of this restaurant about a year and a half ago, and was asked to help out again!

The dining for a cause fundraiser actually donated a portion of everydays total sales to the local fire department! what a great way to give back.

A little while back, I got the chance to help out Doug Burns, photograph Jamie and Seth’s wedding at the Spring Mill Manor in Ivyland.

It was a fun day, with a great crowd dancing.  Here’s a few to preview.

Brittany and Toph – 2nd shoot

I got to shoot with my good friend and fellow Circle of 8 photograper, Nicole Polk.  I started off with the guys as they were hanging out and getting ready, then headed to the church.

The wedding and reception were some much fun!  Brittany had so many details planned and worked out for the day, it was wonderful!

Aldie Mansion Wedding Photos – 2nd shoot

Well, I have finally made it through the crazy (and fantastic) wedding season.  I have a BUNCH of images to catch up on.

To start, here is a wedding from Aldie Mansion that I shot along with Barton Paul.  I got to shoot with the Canon 200mm f/2.0 IS lens.  It’s a whopper of a lens, but it is awesome!  This is also one of the first times that I got to use the 24mm f/1.4 lens (before I bought it).  I was hooked from the beginning.

Becky and Brian – Wedding

On Halloween, I had the honor and pleasure of photographing Becky and Brian’s wedding at the Joseph Ambler Inn.  This wedding was particularly special to me, because I have known Becky and her family for a very long time.

I started out by meeting up with Becky at her dad’s house.  Brian met us there for some pre-ceremony pictures.  After, we headed to the Inn… where some of the bridal party were all dressed up in full costume (it was Halloween, after all!)

Take a peak from some from the day . . .
