Tara and Steve- Engaged Philadelphia, PA

Nothing like heading over to Philly for an Engagement shoot, because you never know what you are going to get! We started off at Love Park with Tara and Steve and got some time with the Love sign in between the many tourists. After some time in Center City, we headed over to Fairmont Park/Waterworks for some more relaxed shots. Tara and Steve were such good sports about my silly ideas. When the water-ice truck came singing by I looked at them and said “Do you guys like waterice?…”, but I am glad that I did because it made for some really cute shots. We really had a good time with these two.

I first need to show you one of the funny things that happened during this shoot. We were getting set up to get a shot on Broad Street in front of city hall, when we got this shot:

And here is the shot that we were actually trying to get:

George's cousin!

A visitor – Our nephew

This weekend Austin’s sister Erica stopped by with her son Alex to visit. Because Austin and I work so much we don’t get to see this little guy too often, and it’s very exciting when we do get to see him. Of course I’m biased because he is my nephew, but this little guy is just the cutest thing. I have never seen a baby that laughs so much. I really can’t believe Alex is going to be 1 at the end of July. It seems like only weeks ago that we sat in the hospital through the night waiting for him to arrive. Austin and I cherish the time that we get to spend with our only nephew, and I always grab a few shots of him whenever I can. This poor kid isn’t going to recognize me unless I have a camera in front of my face…..

Joanna and Rick- Married Massos Crystal Manor Glassboro, NJ

Normally, most brides take precautions before their wedding avoiding dangerous sports, outside activities, and illness so that they are well for their wedding day. Well, on Saturday when I arrived at our bride Joanna’s getting ready location I found out that she had sprained her ankle earlier that morning from an incident with some high heel shoes. This little injury added a few little quandaries throughout the day, but it didn’t stop Joanna and Rick from having a perfect wedding day. Our poor bride hobbled down the aisle, but what is any chivalrous groom to do, but to carry her back down the aisle for their grand exit. The ceremony was held outside in the nearby Garden area at Masso’s, and it was not only a beautiful day, but a very personal ceremony. Austin and I are honored to have shot this wedding for such a great couple!

Jenna and Mark- Married Running Deer Golf Club Pittsgrove, NJ

Last Saturday the 15th of May Austin and I had the pleasure of shooting Jenna and Mark’s beautiful wedding at the Running Deer Golf Club in Pittsgrove, NJ. It was an absolutely gorgeous day for an outdoor wedding, and it was full of sunshine and smiles. Jenna and Mark have a really special connection that is contagious to the people around them. We started out the day at the Martino Cartier at Giovanni and Pileggi salon in Sewell, NJ where Jenna’s sister is a hairdresser. The day went perfectly smooth, and there were many emotional moments where I know my eyes were filling up behind the lens. Jenna’s dance with her father had the whole room tearing up. One thing I can say about this crowd is that they knew how to party. There was no lack of dancing on that dancefloor all night, and they even extended the party. I absolutely love this couple, and everytime I look at these photos it makes me smile so I hope you love them too.
And now… the photos..

All of the flowers were done by the very talented gals over at A Garden Party
