Kathy didn’t get to see the same progress I did, though.  She planned nearly the whole wedding from Chicago!  Anthony is a lawyer, and Kathy, a doctor – so their free time can be pretty few and far between.  They met a bunch of years ago (I think that was their exact words to me) in Wildwood.  After a first date in Chicago, and second in Europe (picked that up from Kathy’s matron of honor’s speach), they finally settled together in Chicago, but have finally moved back out this way closer to both of their families.  Even with just moving back to this area within the last few months, the wedding went exactly as planned, and everything was gorgeous.

We started the day at the Marriott near City Hall, and we did their first glance right outside.  After a nice easy portrait session with the two of them, we corralled the bridal party and stopped through out Philadelphia for a lot of fun, relaxed pictures.  We made our way to Love park, Broad Street and even the Art Museum.  Then it was time for the ceremony at one of the only Slovak churches in Philadelphia.

To the Tendenza after the ceremony, the whole night was filled with dancing.  I don’t think there was anytime that there wasn’t at least a few people dancing – even during dinner.

Enjoy their preview!!

Their day started off with me meeting up with the girls, and my second shooter (Jeremy Evans Thomas) meeting with the guys.   The girls were very easy to work with and like the engagement session, Kristi was still a ton of laughs and smiles.  With her mom and grandmother near, Kristi prepped while the bridesmaids hustled around.  Eventually we all headed to the church for the wedding ceremony – presided by Kristi’s pastor from when she attended Temple university.  From the ceremony, we moved on to the Merion Tribute House.  Powered by the sounds of the awesome band, Kristi and Keith’s families and friends kept the dance floor full the whole night.

Enjoy!

Here’s their preview!

This awesome moment below, was captured by my second shooter of the day: Ashley Bartoletti

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!

Heather’s dress was a very nice, classic lace gown, while Shaun was decked out in a pretty cool looking Zoot suit!

Towards the end of the reception, a couple of the guys brought out some “props” and we got a few pictures of everyone having fun. (at the bottom).

I met up with Tiffany, Nate and Nate’s daughter at Ridley Creek State Park.  I don’t know what it is this year, but I can’t get people to stop laughing while photographing their engagement pictures.  Tiffany and Nate weren’t any different.  Tons of laughs and just relaxed moods.  The pups helped and a made an appearance in a few pictures.  Bulldogs seem to be very easy to photograph, and Boxers are good for big sloppy (drooling) kisses.

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.

Kristi and Keith were no different!  We had a blast walking around the Art Museum and Center City Philadelphia.  These two are just naturally happy and so easy to talk to and really easy to work with taking their pictures.  I won’t go into any embarrassing stories that I heard that day – I’ll leave that for Kristi to maybe leave in the comments

Here’s a few from their session.

Normandy Farms is a beautiful scene for a fall wedding.  The day was a little bit windy, but with some strategic locations, we turned out with some excellent pictures.  With their friends and family, These two partied the night away.  The sounds of Paris of EBE talent kept the dance floor packed the entire night!

Take a look at some awesome wedding pictures!
