Peggy and Chris - 2nd Shoot

Finishing up the weekend of working, we were photographing Peggy and Chris' wedding. I started out with the guys, who were a very fun group to hang out with.

This wedding was actually a first time for me... It was a greek wedding.  Each tradition during the ceremony is preformed 3 times. (if you miss it the first time, you got two more chances!)  It was a lot of fun to be part of a ceremony that I hadn't attended before.

Here are a few of my shots.

Julie and Greg - 2nd Shoot

Over the weekend, Our first day had us covering Julie and Greg's wedding.  The ceremony was held in Newtown and the ceremony took us down to the extremely beautiful Knowlton Mansion. Before the ceremony started, we found some GREAT light and we both captured some awesome portraits!

Dayna and Rob - 2nd Shoot

A few weeks back, I got the chance to help out my friend David Zaveloff photograph Dayna and Rob's wedding. After a visit to both the guys getting ready and the girls getting ready, we headed to the wedding ceremony in Elkins Park. The Reception was held at the wonderful Abington Arts Center. You can see Dave's shots from the day here ... and here are a few of mine.

Amanda and Steve - Wedding

This past weekend I photographed Amanda and Steve's wedding.  We photographed their engagement session in Bristol, PA a few months back, which turned out great, so I knew their wedding was going to be wonderful also. The wedding was held at the Joseph Ambler Inn in North Wales, PA.  The weather couldn't have been any better - Sunny and about 75 degrees!

Take a peak at a few from the day.

Sam and Pete - 2nd shoot

So I have been a little busy over the last few days, but 2 weeks ago, I was helping my good friend Nicole Polk (www.apolkadotblog.com) photograph Sam and Pete's wedding at Historic Waynesborough. It was a great day.  The weekend was calling for thundershowers, but the rain held out until everyone was under the tent for the reception... it couldn't have worked out any better.

Take a peak at a few.
