...and the happy couple

Here are some of my favorites of the bride and groom. 5:30pm turned out to be the perfect time to shoot. The light was fantastic!

DUMBO

Michelle and Luke were married on Sunday, September 14th in Brooklyn, New York. I LOVE the opportunity to shoot in Dumbo, especially in Brooklyn Bridge Park where they were married. Everything was so bright and beautiful and Michelle chose the most fantastic dress and veil. We all agreed she looked glamorous! I had a great time shooting the two of them after the ceremony. For me, it is such a special time to shoot. It's the first hour of their married lives, both the bride and groom are so happy and have such a calm, contented feeling that the most stressful part is over! This could be a double post....we'll see how it goes. I just love so many of the shots from this wedding.

Shalena and Oliver

This engagement session was so much fun. Shalena and Oliver are a special couple for me because they are both people I knew separately from one another when we were all just teenagers. When I received Shalena's email about wedding packages and I found out that she was engaged to Oliver I knew I wanted to shoot their wedding. There is a special bond I feel with many of my clients but seeing two people I already knew growing together into a family is certainly special for me and I feel so lucky to be a part of their "almost" married lives! I can't wait for their winter wedding just after Christmas!

Brigette and Davor

I got to spend August 30 at the Pyramid Club in Philadelphia with Brigette and Davor. The club is located on the 52nd floor and the view of the city was amazing! Both the bride and groom had several friends and family traveling LONG distances (Davor's family made the trip from Croatia). Surprisingly, Brigette and Davor made the longest trip of anyone, traveling from their new digs in Australia. Imagine a 24 hour flight to get to your own wedding! Here are a few of my favorites...

More from last Friday...

This will have to be divided into two posts because of all of the pictures I want to include. Val and Brendan had stormy weather for their wedding but we were able to grab about 45 minutes outside in between showers. The light was great and the grounds were beautiful. I think their formals really turned out great. The next post will have some highlights from the reception where everyone was entertained by Jellyroll. From what I understand, Valerie intended on having them for her wedding since the day she got engaged and they really were fantastic!

A Peek at Val

Here are three from Friday's wedding in Norristown, PA. Valerie was such a gorgeous bride. I loved her earrings and the way she chose to have her hair done. Her family was so incredibly welcoming and warm and it was really nice working with everyone involved in her day. More to come on the rest of the day....and the groom!
