Krista and Mark – Aldie Mansion Wedding

Erik — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 22:15:55 +0000

Having shot their engagement session only a few weeks ago, it was really nice to see Krista and Mark again so soon! As I mentioned in the previous post, I have known Krista’s family for a long time now, and it was truly an honor to be part of their wedding day at Aldie Mansion in Doylestown. A big shout out goes to my good friend (and bowling league teammate), David Mielcarek - for his help as my second shooter. This day, in particular was a very emotional day, and I was very happy to be able to be part of it. Krista, Mark, their families and friends all came to have a good time. And it was clear from the beginning it was going to happen!

Courtney and Paul – Wedding

Erik — Sat, 02 Jul 2011 18:12:19 +0000

A few weeks back, Courtney and Paul had their wedding at the Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania.

Meeting up with Courtney and her bridesmaids, 1 of who was a familiar face – I shot Keri’s bucks county wedding 2 years ago.

During the ceremony, Courtney had the biggest smile on her face the whole time, and Paul couldn’t keep his eyes off his beautiful bride.

The Arboretum is a beautiful place, and we had full access to all of the gardens. Getting shuttled around on the golf cart, the whole bridal party and I spent about an hour having fun and taking some great wedding pictures.

A casual reception under the tent with nice weather outside made for a great relaxed evening with their friends and family all around them!

Courtney and Paul – Engagement Session

Erik — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 18:01:03 +0000

Last weekend I met up with Courtney and Paul for their engagement session. Courtney helps with the student life on George school, so we used the school grounds as our location. The early April weather barely could have been better. They also brought along their two dogs. Ben and Roxy. I love dogs, and these two were so much fun and friendly. They wanted to be with Courtney and Paul the whole time (as you’ll see from the pictures )

We walked around for a bit, talked for a bit, and took some pictures. Just the way I like to photograph engagement sessions.

Here’s their preview.

A quick portrait . . .

Another quick portrait . .

Heather and Shaun – Engagement Session

Erik — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 21:45:50 +0000

Continuing with engagement session. I met up with Heather and Shaun for their engagement session at Green Lane Park. They brought their son with them, and he was adorable and cooperated so well!

Heather and Shaun are planning for a very small, but intimate wedding at the end of this month and it sounds like it is shaping up to be a very special night for everyone attending.

Here are a few shots from our time at the park.

Amanda and TJ – wedding

Erik — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 23:51:39 +0000

It’s always an honor to be chosen to photograph a happy couples wedding. But it is extra special to me when friends ask me to be part of the special day. I have known Amanda for a few years now, and she has always been a happy person that can just laugh. Wedding day was no different. Smiles and laughter from start to finish! TJ was the same. Smiling to see his beautiful bride and happy to celebrate with friends and family!

Cammy and Luke – Engagement

Erik — Sun, 09 May 2010 23:48:53 +0000

It’s definitely the middle of engagement session season!!

I love getting to know each of the couples, before the wedding. Whether at parks, in the city, at bar (check back in a few days ) or where ever and nice and relaxed!

Cammy and Luke’s was no different. We met up at Valley Forge park during some AWESOME light (about an hour before sunset). We walked around the Washington Memorial Chapel for a bit and just had fun. Their wedding at the end of July, in Ocean City, is going to be a blast… I can’t wait!

Jess & Daryl – Engagement Session

Erik — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 22:42:56 +0000

Last week, I went back to high school. . .

It’s been a long time since I have walked through the halls of Council Rock High School (I still refer as if there was only 1), but that is where Jess and Daryl wanted to shoot their engagement session. Since I try to recommend that engagement sessions are done somewhere that has meaning between the future bride and groom, it was a perfect scene, since these two met in high school, in band.

Their wedding in October at Normandy Farms is looking like it will be a lot of fun, and I can’t wait!

99 Restaurant – Dining for a Cause

Erik — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 18:41:31 +0000

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.
