Meet Kelly & Rod. I met Kelly the afternoon of her wedding in Center City Philadelphia at The Rittenhouse, a fancy hotel off of Rittenhouse square. She was just finishing up the final touches on her makeup and hair and her girls were just popping open a bottle of Champagne to get in that mood. Thankfully I got to grab a few getting ready shots before the limo arrived to take us to the wedding. Quick note. On the way down to the lobby we passed Danny DeVito & Rob McElhenney from ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ (Hysterical Show FYI) and then we were off to NJ. The wedding and reception were held at The Riverton Country Club in Cinnaminson, NJ. Everything turned out so beautiful and her Down the Shore theme was a lot of fun.
PS. I want more of that cake. Delicious.
Here are some of my favorite shots from the day.

Meet Michelle & Ed. I don’t think I can possibly say enough nice things about this couple but I’ll give it a shot. Michelle found me on The Knot last year and she pulled me in on the very first email. She was having a 40’s Style Hollywood Themed wedding in the Poconos. Umm…Yes Please. This was my first themed wedding and it was definitely pulled off with major class all the way. So many guests dressed for the occasion and for those who didn’t there were props to wear at the photo booth. That’s right she opted for a photo booth in her package, which I styled like a movie screen with red velvet curtains on each side. On top of that she had life size cardboard cutouts of themselves made so everyone could have their picture made with the Bride & Groom! I hired my friend Michael to fly up and work the booth and he did an amazing job! The wedding was held at The Shawnee Inn & Golf Resort in Shawnee on the Delaware, PA right on the Delaware River. We had Blue Skies with just the right amount of clouds to help cut that harsh sun down a notch. It was a Perfect day.

One of my favorite moments from the night was when Michelle, who had a one woman show in NYC, sang to her Grandparents with the band. She sang ‘What a difference a day made’ (Their Song) half in English and the last half in Spanish!! Not a dry eye in the room. After that she surprised her new husband with ‘Love will keep us together’ and let me tell you this woman can Blow! Did I mention this was with like a 9 person band with horns and backup singers and awesomeness?

Take a look at some of my favorite images from the day.

This Weekend I found myself free from shooting any weddings and in need of a big ol’ break, so I grabbed the pup, hopped in the car and headed down south for a good ol’ fashioned road trip. I used ol twice…yeah. On my way down 95 I stopped at the huge Rest Stop that basically had everything kitschy that could possible be put inside one building. Everything from large tiger figurines to sculls with fairies dancing on their heads….just what you need right? This was my favorite scene.

Meet Elizabeth & Doug. Last month they had their wedding in Stroudsburg, PA in the newly renovated barn of a family home. This wedding was old school elegance with a lot of country class and it was a family effort through and through. From the cake & decorations to the two different choices of home brewed beer, everything was brought to the table by someone they loved. Here are some of my favorites from the day.

Meet Gunner, Doug’s son and Best Man!

Gunner’s lucky feather.

They had a Branding Iron of both of their initials made to brand the steaks.

Meet Samantha & Kyle. Seriously you want to, they are both amazing. I first met with Samantha last year and I feel like we clicked right away. She is one of those people who when you have a conversation with them, they make you feel like there is no one else in the room. I’m a fan. Their wedding was at the Corinthian Yacht Club in Essington, PA, right on the bay and let me tell you the weather was a 10. On top of that wedding party was such a fun group to shoot. During their first dance to Tupelo Honey by the amazing Van Morrison, the wedding party surrounded Sam & Kyle and finished out the last half of the song. It made for a really great moment and I’m sure one they won’t forget.
Here are some of my favorites of the day.

Meet Jamie & Jason. A few weeks ago we got together and shot some engagement photos in Center City & Penn’s Landing in Philadelphia. I’ve known Jamie for going on two years now but this was my first time meeting Jason in person. He was a little shy at first but he and Jamie quickly got comfortable in front of my lens and we got some really great photos. Here are some of my favorites from the day.

Their wedding to follow soon!!!

Meet Tiffany Sisemore. Choreographer, Gorgeous, 5 feet of amazing. She’s the it girl when it comes to dance in Kansas City, Missouri and this year’s winner of the Charlotte Street Foundation’s Generative Performing Artist Award. I had the pleasure of hanging out with Tiffany and her equally talented husband Kevin this weekend and would have brought them both back with me, if only I had more carry on space in my bag.

Meet Lauren. She is completely adorable and is not at all shy in front of the lens. We hung out for a couple hours, a few weeks ago and shot some stuff for her portfolio. Here are some of my favorites.

Here are some of the shots from Hollie & David’s wedding a few weeks ago. They got married on the side of a mountain in Stroudsburg, PA at The Stroudsmoor Country Inn. That’s right…the side of a freakin mountain. This was such a beautiful setting and we couldn’t have asked for a better day.

If at all you’re wondering where SAPCC has gone, I’ve been crazy busy with weddings lately, so I decided to put the group on hold for a bit. I’ll bring it back soon but for now let this tide you over. This unused Septa stairway was hidden away on a vacant street leading to some industrial buildings in Philly.
