Merideth and Scott

Monday, November 30th, 2009

A beautiful fall day at Brandywine Battlefield State Park, Chadds Ford, PA with Merideth and Scott. Here are some pics from their pre wedding shoot we did a few weeks back. We all had a great time on a pretty fall day. The colors and leaves were spectacular! Merideth and Scott will be getting married this weekend in Clarksboro, New Jersey and traveling to the Hotel DuPont for their reception. Jana and I are really looking forward to being a part of Merideth and Scott’s special day!
See you two soon,
mike and Jana

Ashley and Brian    The Rittenhouse Hotel-Philadelphia, PA

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

The Couple: Ashley Bedwell and Brian Shattuck
Getting Ready: Brides Home, Media, PA
Ceremony: St. Mary Magdalen-Media, PA
Pics of Couple, Bridal Party and Families: Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia, PA
Reception: The Rittenhouse Hotel-Philadelphia, PA
What I remember most about Ashley and Brian’s Wedding Day: Everyone wanted to have fun! And they did, especially at the reception to the sounds of The Philly Horn Band . We did some really nice Photos of the family, the bridal party, and Ashley and Brian in Rittenhouse Square. After we walked around the streets along the square with Ashley and Brian as the sun was setting, nice pics. You two were awesome! A pre-wedding shoot with Ashley and Brian several months before the wedding made them very comfortable in front of the camera on their wedding day. We had some REALLY cute ring bearers and flower girls. Gabe, Logan, Madison and Avery loved being a part of the wedding. Thank you, The families of Ashley and Brian- Curtis and Paula the (mother and father of the bride) thank you for your warm and generous hospitality. Paula and Curtis you have a beautiful daughter inside and out! You must be so proud! Tim Sudall from Video One Productions captured all the moving moments of the day!

Kelly & Mike

Monday, November 16th, 2009

Kelly and Mike have awesome family and friends. Their fall beach celebration will be remember for a long time. We first met them at Melissa & Tod’s wedding a few years ago. Melissa was Kelly’s maid of honor.
We had a great get to know you session in Chesapeake City with Kelly & Mike’s pup Malibu. You may remember the cute yellow lab puppy from a few months ago.
We started the day at Kelly’s beach house with getting ready photos and some family photos with bay views in the background and headed to the St. Jude the Apostle in Lewes for the ceremony.
Everyone was excited for fun photos on the Lewes beach. My thanks go to Jim (Kelly’s dad) for assisting on the seagull photo. He save the day more then once!
The reception was held at one of our favorite shore locations, the Rehoboth Country Club. I had the “hill” photo in my mind for Kelly and Mike the entire drive to the beach and a little wait for golfers was not going to stop us. Kelly and Mike and their family and friends danced all night. All was captured on tape by Debbie from AOV Productions.
Kelly, Mike and families we loved being part of your big day. Keep enjoying your married life as much as you have been so far!

Anna & Michael    Old York Road Temple Beth Am-Abington, PA

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

The Couple: Anna Borshchezaskaya and Michael Rubin
Getting Ready: Old York Road Temple Beth Am, Abington, PA
Ceremony: Old York Road Temple Beth Am, Abington, PA
Pics of Couple, Bridal Party and Families: The grounds at Abington Friends School-Abington, PA
Reception: Old York Road Temple Beth Am, Abington, PA
What I remember most about Anna and Michael’s Wedding Day: Anna was very excited and nervous too to be marrying Michael..butterflies up till the time they met :) The first sight was a very special moment, the smile on Anna’s face so warm and loving. Michael was just beside himself when he saw Anna in her wedding dress for the first time! The ceremony was held at Old York Road Temple Beth Am in Abington, PA, under a beautifully flower accented Huppa that was surrounded by beautiful light shining in from above. Rabbi Leib performed the symbolic Jewish ceremony like no other Rabbi can! I also want to thanks Jackie Cheifetz from OYRTBA for her help and hospitality. Friends family and loved ones all were there to witness these special moments between Anna and Michael….
Anna, Michael, the entire wedding party were photographed on the beautiful property at Abington Friends School. The light was just right and the historic feel and groomed property was a bonus for pics. All of the families and friends were just as fun to be around. A very close family with strong values. We had such a great time with the little ones at the Friends School. Thank you, The families of Anna and Michael- Suzanne and Ellis the (mother and father of the bride) thank you for your warm and generous hospitality. Suzanne and Ellis you have a beautiful daughter inside and out! You should be so proud!
