Spent some time with Bernice and Adam this past weekend in the Brandywine valley. Jana and I found a nice setting for their pre wedding photographs. Historic railroad tracks, old fruit stand carts and amazing textures added to the beauty of this shoot. Bernice and Adam were a great couple to get to know and were the perfect couple for this type of shoot. They love the outdoors and the color and texture we captured in these photographs. We can’t wait for your wedding on 4.04.09! You two are so warm and fun to be around!

They will be getting married at PAFA (Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts), Philadelphia, PA.

Wanted to share with you some of our photos from engagement shoots we photographed during 08′. Great fun! A simple way for all of us to get to know each other and to have fun in front the the camera. This is a relaxed time, we can challenge ourselves as photographers and let our creativity take over. So many location choices…we are up for almost any location! Lots of our couples have favorite places where they would like pictures taken, their first meeting place, the proposal, etc. Make it original we love the variety. Time of year is not an issue either, make it a season that you both enjoy.

You may have seen Mary and Matt’s engagement photos a few months ago. Their sign-in album just came back today and we wanted to share their fun layouts with you.

We were both really excited when Chelsea and Gary decided to have their pre-wedding photos taken at their family farm. We were not disappointed; photo opportunities were everywhere and Chelsea and Gary were comfortable and cozy in front of the camera despite the super cold weather. Even one of the family horses, Guinness posed for photos! Chelsea and Gary finished the session snuggling on the sofa with a cup of hot chocolate. We are so excited to photograph their wedding next June. The ceremony will take place at the farm and the reception at Kennett Country Club.

Jenna and Scott have known each other their whole lives. They are such fun couple so we wanted their pre-wedding shoot to be unique and one of a kind. Following them around Philadelphia as they enjoyed their date seemed like a perfect idea. They went bowling at Lucky Strike and strolled around old city.
We are looking forward to capturing their wedding next April at the Loews Hotel in Philadelphia.

We had a great experience with Ashley and Greg last week! We did a pre-wedding shoot with them and they were so into the whole experience! We visited several places in the area, including the Greenville country Club, where Greg and Ashley will be getting married on June 20th, 2009. Sipping champagne by the grand fireplace, how romantic and classic. We also spent some time shooting on the beautifully landscaped grounds of the Club. Greenville C.C Thank you linda for setting this up for us! The fall setting was so perfect, the leaves and autumn colors complimented the look of the shoot. Ashley and Greg were great to be around, they had fun getting their pictures taken. It felt so good to be connected with them..sincere trust..genuine honesty and the results “true” life style” photos of a beautiful and loving couple! Good luck to you Ashley and Greg, I can’t wait to work with you on your wedding day!

Andrienne and Mark what a great time we had! I felt so comfortable around the two of you! And I felt the feeling was mutual. It was a beautiful Sunday morning at Winterthur. Thanks for choosing us to a part of your special day! The two of you look great! I can’t wait to see you in your dress! Andrienne and Mark will be married on June 27th, 2009 at The Lake House Inn in Perkasie, PA.

Mary and Matt are getting married next May at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia, but they absolutely love the beach so that is where we headed for their engagement session yesterday. The weather stayed nice even though is stormed back at home. The light was perfect. Even Oliver – the couples Yorkie mix enjoyed posing for photos.
We walked on the beach, ate pizza and ice cream, and had a lot of fun at the amusement park. I can’t wait to start working on the design of Matt and Mary’s engagement sign-in album. Congratulations! It was great working with you.

Mike’s son assisted me on the shoot.

Check out all the fun Mary Kaye and David had during their engagement session. We went to the Brandywine Battlefield in Chadds Ford since David loves history.
And how about some tasty ice cream form Woodside Farm to finish up a great photo session. We love when couples are up for an adventure. It creates excellent photo opportunities.
Mary Kaye and David will be married at the Villanova Chapel and host their reception at the Ballroom at the Ben in early December.
Congratulations! We can’t wait to capture your day.

Laura, Tom & Christian
Valley Garden Park – Wilmington, DE

Laura and Tom spent some time with me on Sunday morning – before the temperature crept to 96 degrees. They are going to tie the knot on October 25th at the Union League. It was a great pleasure working with them and especially with Tom’s six-year-old son Christian, who supposedly doesn’t like to have his photo taken! He will have the very important job of being a ring bearer at Tom and Laura’s wedding.
We are looking forward to capturing all the special moments on your big day.
