Meet Diana & Kenny! If you looked up laid back in the dictionary there would be a picture of these two, probably riding bikes. They are west Philly through and through. Within five minutes of meeting them I knew I wanted to shoot their wedding and of course be their friend. The ceremony and reception were both held at the Restaurant School right off of the Penn Campus. The couple also had two friends DJ the reception and it was amazing! Check out my favorites from the day.

Meet the Brooks Family! I met Michael when I lived in NC, on my first day in film school. There was absolutely a friendly rivalry going on between us, throughout that first semester. He is crazy talented and has a razor sharp wit and I feel lucky after all these years to say that he and his wife Karen are like family to me. Almost a year ago they had their beautiful baby girl Lily and I’m telling you right now, she is going to break some hearts when she gets older.
They were in NJ not too long ago visiting family and asked if I would shoot them while they were in town. Heck yes! We met up in Princeton, NJ and shot all along the campus. Check out some of my favorites from the day.

Meet Aiden James. He’s kind of blowing up right now. His new album, Trouble with this, hit iTunes this past Monday and you can get that here. I shot the images for his album a few months ago on the roof top of an apartment building on the edge of the city. Here we had such an amazing view of the Philadelphia skyline which was the perfect backdrop for the shoot. Check out his cover and some of my favorites from the night.

Here is a portrait of my Grandad that I shot over the Christmas holiday. He was a professional fisherman in South Carolina and while we were down, we went into Calabash for down home southern seafood lunch. Outside of the restaurant was this fishing boat, which I thought would make the perfect backdrop. My favorite part would have to be his suspenders.

Meet Haley & Aubrey. The wedding was held at the Pump House Bed & Breakfast in Bloomsburg, PA which is this quaint little B&B in the middle of the woods. Right next to the ceremony flowed a beautiful creek and all throughout the grounds ran multiple cats that would come right up to you for some love. All in all it was a really cool place to say I Do!
Check out some of my favorites from the day.

Meet Sarah & Jerry! My hilariously sarcastic, golf loving accountants! They were married at St. Mary Church in Conshohocken and held an beautiful reception at Radnor Valley Country Club. We lucked out with a beautiful day and I lucked out with a really fun wedding party. After they were announced at the reception you couldn’t keep everyone off the dance floor, I’ve never seen a wedding so ready to get the party started! Check out some of my favorites from the day.

Meet Sara & Steve. They were married in the backyard of Sara’s parent’s house in Leesport, PA. In front of 80ish of their closest friends and family members and their adorable golden retriever, they tied the knot. Love these guys and I seriously want another one of those cupcakes! Check out some of my favorites from the day.
