It’s been quite a while since my last blog post, so here is a real big one with tons of photos, and one of my favorite weddings ever!

I photographed Jackie’s brother’s wedding the year before and it was a real fun group, so I knew it was going to be an awesome party. When the forecast said snow (on the weekend before Halloween!!) I suggested boots and umbrellas, and Jackie chose her favorite: zebra print.

A crazy-fun couple with tons of personality + fresh snow on bright fall colors + the incredible Phoenixville Foundry = great photo opportunities!! Thank you to the entire bridal party for putting up with the sleet and snow to help Jackie and Matt have great photos to remember their wedding day!

Since tomorrow is New Years Day I thought I’d post a few pictures from “behind the scenes” of me and my awesome second shooters… it was a great year, and I look forward to an amazing 2012! Thank you Ann, Cara, Derek, Ashlee and Alicia! (And as a filler shot there’s just one pic of my son, Tyler, helping me charge my batteries.)

Kate and Andy chose the Villanova Conference Center to have their fall wedding, and it was a beautiful day! The bridal party and families were all a fun group and we had a great time goofing around during the formal session. The ceremony was held at St. Philip Neri in Lafayette Hill, home of one of the most beautiful stained glass windows I have seen. The sun shone in the church in just the right way leaving patches of color everywhere- so I had to use it for a few killer bride and groom shots!

We had SO MUCH FUN photographing Kate and Tripp on Saturday. We started at the Hyatt at Penn’s Landing (what a view!) then went to Independence Park for formals. The bridal party was super fun and we had a blast thinking of new pose ideas. The ceremony was at Old St. Mary’s in Olde City and then we went back to the Hyatt for a great party overlooking the river.

Here are just a few of my favorites… it was really hard to narrow it down, lots more coming soon!

Michelle and Sam tied the knot on Sunday at Penn Oaks Golf Club in West Chester. We had BEAUTIFUL weather and gorgeous blue skies. This is the second of three weddings I am photographing for this family and every single family member is a pleasure to work with!! We did formals before the ceremony, as you can see from the “first sight” photos, which I love to do. I can’t wait to share more, but here are just a few sneak peeks.

Saturday was Kylie and Chris’ wedding at The Church of the Good Samaritan in Paoli, PA followed by a great reception (with an amazing Irish band, the Malarkey Brothers) at Historic Waynesborough. This couple was really fun to work with and we had a great time doing photos. Here are just a few sneak peeks for now.

This weekend I got to photograph the adorable Magda’s 1st birthday portraits. We decided to go to Ridley Creek State Park and add a few family portraits in there too, and we even got some with the new dog, Louie! Magda was much more interested in playing in the dirt than smiling for photos, but luckily I captured a few smiles, despite her best efforts. Isn’t she cute?!

Corinn, Matt and Logan live in Florida but were visiting PA this weekend and managed to squeeze in a mini photo shoot at Valley Forge Park, where Corinn frequented growing up.  Logan tried acting like he didn’t want his picture taken but he secretly enjoyed it, and we all had a great time driving around the park finding fun places to shoot. 

Here are a few of my favorites:

This was such a cool wedding! The bride was stunning and had an amazing dress, and the groom sky dived into the ceremony! Baywood Greens is a beautiful location for a wedding- everywhere I turned was another great backdrop for photos. I can’t wait to share the rest of the pics, but here are a few favorites!

Yesterday Maraya and Dave tied the knot at the beautiful Merion Tribute House in Merion Station, PA. They were tons of fun and we had a great time working with them! Here are just a few sneak peeks… more coming soon!!
