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!
This past weekend, I photographed Melanie and Tom’s wedding. A few weeks back, we shot their engagement session along the Delaware River.
We started the day out at Melanie’s parents house with all the girls getting ready. I could tell immediately that this was gonna be a fun packed day. The girls were all rehearsing their entrance dance to the reception – to the song of “Thriller” !
We moved onto Penn Ryn Mansion for some final prep, and then the ceremony.
Melanie and Tom decided to see each other before the ceremony, and as usual, it was a great choice. (being able to see each other before the ceremony allows for some private time between them, and also allows much more relaxed and fun portraits!)
The entire group was a blast to work with… laughing, joking and even some dancing! Somewhere in the middle of the reception, there was even fireworks… literally!
Here’s just a few from the day
The extremely gorgeous custom made dress by Darcy Law
It may have rained the day before, and even a little after the ceremony, but when it counted… We had dry skies
Keri and Jon were married on a private farm in Furlong (in the heart of Central Bucks County). The entire setup was beautiful and their guests had a great time.
Starting out with the guys for some relaxed portraits, I headed over to meet up with the ladies just down the street. They were close enough, that instead of the customary limo, they had a horse and carriage bring them to the ceremony. It honestly, was like a fairytale story.
Enjoy a few from the day!
I got to help my fellow Philly Wedding Photographers (Philly8) member, David Zaveloff, to photograph Alisha and Jeff’s wedding.
There was so much fun and energy with both families, how could anyone not have a good time! The wedding and reception was held at the College of Physicians in Philadelphia. . . yes, the Mutter Museum! Now, they limit the access of the actual museum for pictures, but the reception room and the ceremony are definitely very cool too.
With the sounds of Big Romeo, the party was a blast!
Enjoy a few shots from the day! Be sure to check out Dave’s site to see the full slideshow.
I got to help my friend Stacie Lech again! Stacie and I have worked a lot together, so we know how each is going to work and it makes the day so much more fun!
We photographed Jennifer and Sean’s wedding inPhiladelphia.
take a peak at a few!
I love working with other photographers – especially ones I haven’t worked with yet. Why? Because I love making new friends, plus we each always learn and help out in different ways.
A few weeks back, I helped Michael Allebach photograph Chelley and Dave’s wedding at the Huntingdon Valley Country Club.
Just a few background images from the day!
