Philadelphia wedding | Kristen + Chris

Finally! A wedding in our home town! The day started off with the bride in an ultra-modern suite at the iconic Bellevue Hotel, then to St. Patrick’s Church for the wedding ceremony. After exchanging nuptials, we walked the block from St. Pats to Rittenhouse Square for  photos with the family and bridal party. Cocktails, dinner and dancing followed at The Bellevue Hotel’s Rose Garden Ballroom. Smooth dinner jams and uptempo dance hits were provided by our friend Kim from No Macarena.

Lehigh valley wedding | Liz + Sean

This couple has made an awesome life for themselves deep in the heart of Texas, but when Liz and Sean decided that it was time to tie the knot, they returned to the place that their relationship first began – their childhood home of Allentown Pennsylvania. The ceremony, at First Presbyterian Church of Allentown, was attended by close family and friends with the reception immediately following at Saucon Valley Country Club.

New Jersey weddings | Tracy + Brad

The last time I had seen Tracy and Brad, we were on the Point Pleasant boardwalk in early spring 2011. It was a pretty dreary day with the fog and cool mist rolling in off the ocean. Not exactly a perfect conditions for an engagement shoot. But we made the best of it, using the fog to our advantage, creating some really moody images that didn’t look like your typical run-of-the-mill beachy/boardwalk engagement photos. They toughed it out with me on those cold wet boards for 2 hours, which is why I was so happy for them to receive such a glorious picture perfect 80 degree day for their wedding celebration. Tracy and Brad could not have chosen a better day to exchange vows, sun with just a little breeze. Both the ceremony and reception were held at The Palace at Somerset Park… A special shout out goes to Maya at The Palace for all of her hard work and dedication. She was instrumental in helping us get out job done. Thanks Maya!
