Michele and Dan- Engaged Valley Green Park Philadelphia, PA

I never knew that Fairmount Park in Philadelphia had so many hidden little treasures until we set out to Valley Green Park with Michele and Dan. It felt like we were far from city life in this green wooded area with streams and nature trails, but we really were just a few minutes from Center City. Michele said that she used to come to this park when she was a kid, and had a few thinking spots back within the trails. We also got to meet Barkley the Boston Terrier during this shoot. I have to say that this was the most behaved Boston I have ever been around, and he was great in front of the camera. We had such a good time at this shoot with these two silly lovebirds that we cant wait for their wedding this fall.

Christine and Rich -Married Brigalias Sicklerville, NJ

I am very excited to get this blog post together, and there are a lot of photos in this one because I just couldn’t decide on my favorites. These two are great in photos, which left me with a lot of favorites. Christine works like a model in front of the camera, and it doesn’t hurt that she is gorgeous. We started off the day at Annunciation Church in Bellmawr, NJ which is the same church where Austin and I were married, so its one of my favorite churches to shoot at. This wedding also had another one of my favorite things…. little kids. There were 4 cuties in this wedding that I couldn’t get enough of. After the ceremony, Christine and Rich had their reception at Brigalias in Sicklerville, NJ. Brigalias is such a beautiful property, that we made sure to get some great formals despite the rainy weather. The weather held out just long enough for us to get some shots of the couple outside, and it was definitely worth it. These two are great people individually, but they make an even better couple. They are such a fun couple to be around that on our way home Austin said to me “Can we be friends with them?”. The photos do an even better job explaining….

Christine and Rich -Engaged

Yes, I’m blogging. I know its tough to believe because its been so long, but here we are. Christine and Rich are going to be married this May, and after just shooting with them for this e-session we can’t wait for their wedding day. Christine and I have actually been friends since we started playing softball together when we were kids. (If I find one of our old softball photos, I will post it later). Christine is still the same shy girl that she was back then. When I asked Christine where Rich was from, she said he was from the same town as we were, but because he went to different schools they never met growing up. The best part of the story about Christine and Rich meeting was that even though they lived less than 2 miles apart, they actually met out of state while on vacation. Rich really brings out Christine’s personality, and I know that their wedding this spring is going to be a blast.

It’s not wedding season.. So, what are we up to?

As most of you know, we don’t shoot many weddings during January and February so I bet you are wondering what we have been up to. Well, I have been spending most of my time working on albums, and new sample products for 2011. My 2011 brides have some great new products to choose from including leather guestbooks with black pages that your guests can sign using gel pens. I am so excited to be getting ready for this year’s weddings. Stay tuned because we have some great stuff coming up including some engagement sessions and portrait shoots. I am also going to try and get some other stuff up from this past year that never made it to the blog.

So, if I am concentrating on editing and albums you might think that Austin has been just hanging out watching football, but anyone who knows us knows that wouldn’t be the case. Austin has been hard at work remodeling our family room. We have wanted to rip down the walls in the family room and start from scratch since we moved in, so its so exciting that we are finally doing it. We ripped everything, and I mean everything out, replaced the windows and doors,tore down the brick fireplace, built new studs, tore out the ceiling, put in recessed lighting, and ran all the electrical so far. Austin’s dad has been over nearly every weekend helping out, and we are getting close to it finally coming together (even though we don’t have walls yet). You can see some of progression below:

Bust A Move

The Wedding Season for 2010 brought Austin and I many great couples and families, and not to mention some really great weddings. One of the best parts of the wedding day for us is when we get to make images of the freestyle dancing of our couples and their friends and family. This year has shown some pretty memorable dance moments that I think need some recognition here on my blog. So, I have put together a little slideshow of some of our favorite moves of 2010. Enjoy…
