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!

Madison “Maddie” will be graduating this year from High School. She is so excited! This is not the first time we worked with Maddie, she did a “Sweet 16″ with us 2 years ago, and she could not wait to be in front of the camera again! She is a pleasure to photograph, she just LOVES to have fun!! We captured her as she was “MADDIE being MADDIE”. She will be attending a very well know and prestigious music school for voice in NYC next year. I wish her the very best, she is so sweet, outgoing and confident! She will definitely be making a mark for herself in the future. Enjoy the photos from the shoot, some studio and some outside in a beautiful fall setting.
THANKS MADDIE!

Briar and Jaffar opted for a very nontraditional wedding celebration with a small circle of friends. It was a non-wedding wedding as they liked to call it.
The whole event took place at Davio’s in Philadelphia. The theme was Moroccan and Middle Eastern. The colors were amazing. We especially loved the golden place cards decorated with peacock feathers.
Briar and Jaffar wanted to capture some private portraits first, so we walked the streets around Davio’s. I have to admit not so private on a beautiful Saturday afternoon.
The ceremony took place among very few invited guests on the terrace at Davio’s and was officiated by the couple’s very good friend. It was one of the most moving moments I have experienced. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your day.
Briar and Jaffar and their family and friends had an amazing time and we wish them all the best in their life together.

What I remember most about Rachel and Blake’s Wedding Day: Rachel was so so excited to be in her dress and be a beautiful bride, a real princess that day! Rachel, Blake and the entire wedding party walked around Rittenhouse Square and the busy streets to get that “feel” of philly. I dodged some cars and buses but it all worked out All of the families and friends were just as fun to be around. We also had a pre wedding shoot in Society Hill with Rachel and Blake. They were so cute to work with Jana created an amazing sign-in book with the photos we captured that sunny and windy afternoon. A 9×12 custom designed flush book was filled with signatures and special thoughts from Rachel and Blake’s Family and friends. She LOVED it! The Beautiful Westin Hotel in Philadelphia was a great place for the reception, the decor and floral arrangements were so well done by Bob Lamsback of Lamsback Floral Decorators . The look of the room was impressive, the lighting, the flowers, linens etc. And the music provided by Ebe Talent, the band THE LA STARZ WOW! Everyone on their feet and partying, ALL night long. I also want to thank Stewart at The Westin Hotel for taking care of us and most importantly making sure Rachel, Blake and all their family and friends had the best day of their lives!
Rachel and Blake traveled to The Greek Islands for their honeymoon. Thank you Pam and Michael (mother and father of the bride) for your warm and generous hospitality. Pam you are one hell of a wedding planner! GREAT job!. The moving moments were captured by Tim Sudall of Video One Productions Tim, thanks you for a VERY enjoyable day, always a pleasure working with you.
