Brittany and Dan - 2nd Shoot

A few weeks back, I got to help my really good friend, Stacie Lech, photography Brittany and Dan's wedding. I started off by meeting with the guys at the Marriott in Conshohocken for some casual, pre-wedding pictures.  From there we headed over to the beautiful Villanova Chapel.  We did some portraits before the wedding (yes, before - and there are lots of benefits to this!!!) of Brittany and Dan.  The energy between these two is just awesome!

After the ceremony, we headed to the Philadelphia Country Club, just down the road a few minutes.

After their first dance, Brittany and Dan broke out into a choreographed dance (by Brittany) to Single Ladies, by Beyonce.  Everyone had a great time to the music of the fantastic Sid Miller Band.

Molly and Ben - 2nd Shoot

I got the chance to tag along with fellow photographer, Ryan Estes, photograph Molly and Ben's wedding at the Ritz Carlton in Philadelphia.  The building is extremely impressive and the couple was a lot of fun to work with. It's always a good time to work with a new friend and bounce ideas off of each other...

Take a peak. . .

Lauren and Steve - 2nd Shoot

For Lauren and Steve's wedding, I was helping my good friend Mark Gardner.  I started out by meeting up with the ladies as they were getting ready.  Mark was hanging out with the guys as they were doing burn-outs :) The reception was held at the very nice Drexelbrook facility.  Hot Hot Hot Entertainment put on an amazing show and kept the dance floor packed ALL night.

Mark had set up a photobooth for this wedding, and I was the one handling the crowd there.  It was ALOT of fun.

Vicky and Dino - 2nd shoot

As part of a double header I had after shooting at the Loews Hotel, I was with my friend Leslie Gilbert in York, PA photographing Vicky and Dino's wedding. I started the day with Dino as he was getting ready.  Part of Greek tradition is for the groom to have his koumbaro help him shave.  I love Greek weddings.. they are very choatic at times, but the energy and tradition is so much fun.

Amy and Josh - 2nd shoot

I was helping my good friend, Nicole Polk, photograph Amy and Josh's wedding in Philadelphia.  I started out with the guys while they were getting ready.  Amy and Josh have an AWESOME place near the Italian Market. After some getting ready pictures, I headed over to the Masonic Temple, where the Ceremony was held.  Being the first time I was inside of this place, I was amazed and the detail and architecture inside. After the ceremony, we walked over to the Loews hotel (with a few short stops along the way for some urban portraits) for the reception.

Here's a few I snapped that day...
