Playing a little catch up again! We are working on a few weddings, and we have an amazing new project coming up soon (more details to come!), so the bloggy has suffered a little....
So, Joanna and John - totally fun engagement shoot! They met while attending U Penn, so we though that would be the perfect place to photograph them! We were even able to take some pictures at the spot where they met!
Then we had a little walk around the campus and down a few little streets that were their favorite places to hang out while they were in school together.
They had such great energy - and you can just see the connection between them! We are really looking forward to your October 2009 wedding!
As promised we got the Paris shots into the slideshow for Tatiana and Julien. I know you will all enjoy this as much as we do. It's a bit large so it will take a while to load.
This past weekend Laura and I met up with Lindsay and Danny for their engagement session. I think one word describes the whole day... HOT! If your on the east coast and didn't notice we're having a heat wave... go outside! The weather forecast was very near 100ยบ and that little box they put "feels like" temp in, should have said "melting" but this didn't stop these two from having a good time.
We've even ended the shoot with a stop at an italian ice store! I don't think we've ever had better!
Laura and I love doing engagement sessions... we get to see our couples interact and even have some fun, even though this case was at my expense. Lindsay is the head Lacrosse coach at Rowan University and I still work at what she refers to as the "evil empire" her schools biggest rival so I'm sure this post will give her a laugh.
What a great way to wrap up May. Our last two weddings had periodic showers that worked amazingly to our favor. We had a bit of rain while everyone was indoors and then we'd get those amazing skies when it was time to go outside. Bright blue sky with the big puffy white clouds and awesome puddles for reflections. Not to mention the obligatory umbrella shots, Laura and I love those timeless looks...
Laura and I had the pleasure of working with Mark from Queen of Hearts again. His attention to the smallest detail really pays off for us in that, no matter where Carol and Sean were, we were able to get some great shots. I have to say that having a planner, really makes all the difference - Carol put it best in a post wedding email [re: her wedding vendors] "hire the best and all will flow as it was meant to be!" (Hey there Carol, hope you don't mind us quoting you!). Beautiful Blooms converted the Philadelphia Racquet Club into a beautiful garden complete with flowering branches and floral accents everywhere you looked, and Philadelphia Funk Authority had everyone on the dance floor right away! The fabulous cake and food was provided by Jeffery MIller Catering...
Carol and Sean thank you so much for including us in this beautiful day!
I've been shooting weddings for just over 5 years now. I feel so blessed that couples allow me to be part of such an important day in their lives. I love capturing those moments and knowing that my art will be appreciated for years to come. I couldn't imagine a more fun and rewarding job until... I got my husband Paul to join me behind the camera! Together we have complimented each others style and brought a whole new passion to our work. Our style is mainly reportage, with a good mix of creative shooting. We don't like to call ourselves strictly "photojournalists" because sometimes the day calls for more than just documentation. We are unobtrusive and very much "in-the-background," but that doesn't mean that we won't take a few tiny steps to help take an image to the next level...
