6.07.08 Jennifer and Justin

The Special Couple: Jennifer Lizzio and Justin Ettore
Pre wedding shoot: Rittenhouse Square-Philladelphia, PA. Had such a great time walking around the square went to the Continental and to The Rouge. It was such a relaxed shoot with so few set up or “posed” shots. They wanted to get the feel of that area and enjoy themselves where they have spent some much time together.
The wedding day: Temp: 95 degrees with 85% humidity! We did it… and Jen and Justin NEVER complained! They wanted pics outside and just did it! WOW they were amazing!
Picture Locations: First National Bank(Old City) where they met for the first time and over to the Rodin Museum with the bridal party
Ceremony: St James Catholic Church- Philadelphia with NO air conditioning! It was not working! Such a beautiful church and ceremony.
Reception: Cescaphe Ballroom-Northern Liberties-Philadelphia
What I remember most: Just how well they delt with the heat and how understanding Justin was. Jen wanted outdoor photographs and with a tux on in the 95 degree heat never complained! That’s love! We also felt very special to be a part of their day, they trusted us to make some special photos and it was so nice to have the creative freedom to do so. Thanks Jennifer and Justin!

Cindi Deal from the Bridal Garden helped with Jens dress and was great support ALL DAY!

Jen (the bride) - Hi Mike & Jana!! We are back from Hawaii and I wanted to thank you both for an amazing time that day!! I am so glad we survived that heat (and then to top it off the no air conditioning in the church). It was actually cooler in Hawaii....lol. I just want to tell you both that the pictures are absolutely amazing. I LOVE them. I can't stop looking at them. You both were so great to be around all day. It was alot of fun!! We cannot wait to create our album. It has been such a pleasure working with you and your team throughout this whole process (even the engagement session was also a blast). Love, Jen & Justin P.S. To any future brides reading this blog I highly recommend Mike and his team for your wedding day photos (or any event). Personality is a big deal!! You want to LOVE to be around the people who will be with you all day on you wedding and Mike and Janna were so great to be around all day...they are alot of fun and they made everyone in the bridal party feel so comfortable. And the pictures of course speak for themselves...they are absolutely beautiful.
