a very brief look

Last Saturday I was back in Philadelphia shooting at Knowlton Mansion. There are horses in the backyard! It was great for photos. We had such a nice chunk of time to shoot in between the ceremony and the cocktail hour. We made it to the Art Museum and then back to the venue for a different feel. I LOVE this photo of Jennifer, she looks gorgeous. More to come.

Part 2 : Allie and Brendan

Allie and Brendan

My first wedding of 2009 took place in Philadelphia at the Glen Foerd Mansion. I met Allie and Brendan in Manhattan and discovered that Allie works as a designer for Anna Maier Ulla-Maija wedding gowns. You can imagine the excitement surrounding Allie's dress design and the surprise when it was finally revealed! As you can see below, it was absolutely exquisite. Not only was the entire dress hand-beaded with sequins and pearls but she designed a cutaway train which was removed for the reception. The entire event was fabulous and the Glen Foerd only added to the beauty of it.

Check out Allie's fur...she worked with a furrier who created this especially for her. It had a silvery-blue tint which was perfect for the season. Perfect for a winter bride!

Shalena and Oliver

My last wedding from 2008! I have known both Shalena and Oliver for nearly a decade which made their wedding really special for me to photograph. It was not only neat reconnecting with them after so long but also bearing witness to their loving relationship which so obviously makes them very happy. Below are a few shots from their wedding at Bear Creek. I seem to have picked a lot of black and whites and images with muted color which I think can be attributed to the feeling of having a winter wedding. Enjoy!

DUMBO

Jessica and Josh met me out in DUMBO on one of the last warm(ish) weekends this fall. I loved the way they dressed, especially with the neutral muted colors DUMBO offers as a background. I had so much fun shooting with you guys, and thanks to Josh for missing the game for this :)

Fall Fun

I had such a great time with this family in NYC last week. Their 4 year old kept us entertained for the entire hour with his stories and information about firemen. It was actually great weather for a shoot. November is not too late if you're interested in doing a photo for the holidays!

Katie and Matt

Katie and Matt were married on a very rainy day in October. Luckily, the park she had planned to have her pictures taken in offered a huge canopy of beautiful orange and yellow trees which made for a great backdrop and a huge umbrella. I loved the umbrellas she had brought for everyone and the pictures ended up turning out just great. Look how stormy it was when we got to the church!
