Eva and Brian - Wedding

I got the chance to help fellow photographer Alicia Cohen, of Old New Castle, DE, by photographing Eva and Brian's wedding in Bethany Beach, DE (just south of Rehoboth Beach). The wedding and reception were all held at the very beautiful Addy Sea Bed and Breakfast.  Eva, Brian and their guests were all extremely welcoming and fun to be around.  This crowd came to party.  The band hand to tell people to stop dancing... yeah, it was that kind of night :).

The day started off with everyone getting ready then on to the ceremony.  Immediately following the ceremony, Eva and Brian asked me to follow them back inside.  Eva grabbed an envelope that they have been holding onto for a little while now.  This was when they found out that they are having a baby girl!!!!  I was especially honored and excited to be part of that special moment between them.

At the end of the night, we took a walk to the shore line and got in a day of trash the dress session!  Ok, so it just got a little wet... but that is more than most brides want to do the day of the wedding.  It was lots of fun!

Here are a few from the day.

Liz and Steve - Wedding

There are plenty of posts to come... stay tuned! But todays is Liz and Steve's wedding.  A couple of months back, we photographed their engagement session in Longwood Gardens.  Getting to know these two has been great, and their family and friends are just as nice.

I started the day by meeting up with ladies at Essentials Salon · Spa in Doylestown.   While the weather report did call for rain, minus a few drizzles during the ceremony, we had great weather when ever we needed it for the portraits outside.

The reception was held at Occasions in New Hope and the bridal party kept the dance floor full all night.  (music provided by www.bowtieproductionsdj.com)

Here is a sample from the day. . . ( and a slideshow at the bottom)

Jen and Todd - Engagement Session

A couple weeks back I took a trip down to the Moshulu in Philadelphia with Jen and Todd for their engagement session.  Todd proposed to Jen during a nice Valentines Day dinner here last year, so it holds a special place in their hearts.  There are only a few samples here - but that's because they have a special surprise for the rest of the shots to be shown at the wedding (At the Spingmill Country Club) next week. Having been friends with these two, for years now,  made this shoot particularly fun

Crystal Tea Room Wedding

A couple of weeks back, I helped my good friend Mark Gardner photograph Lauren and Josh's Wedding.  We started the day with the getting ready photos at the Downtown Marriot.  From there, we went to the ceremony at the beautiful Cathedral Basillica in Center City.  After the ceremony, we traveled over to the prestegious Crystal Tea Room. Here are a few of mine from the day.
