Kristi and Keith - Merion Tribute House wedding

Kristi and Keith were married a few weeks ago at the wonder venue, The Merion Tribute House.  The grounds of this secluded mansion are gorgeous.  Hidden back in Lower Merion, this is a wedding destination I hope to be at more and more. Their day started off with me meeting up with the girls, and my second shooter (Jeremy Evans Thomas) meeting with the guys.   The girls were very easy to work with and like the engagement session, Kristi was still a ton of laughs and smiles.  With her mom and grandmother near, Kristi prepped while the bridesmaids hustled around.  Eventually we all headed to the church for the wedding ceremony - presided by Kristi's pastor from when she attended Temple university.  From the ceremony, we moved on to the Merion Tribute House.  Powered by the sounds of the awesome band, Kristi and Keith's families and friends kept the dance floor full the whole night.

Enjoy!

Erin and Fran - Overbrook Country Club Wedding

Last weekend, Erin and Fran, were married at Overbrook Country Club, in Villanova.  1 day after a big rain storm and 1 day before hurricane Irene made her self known to the northeast, this Friday afternoon was nothing short of perfect for them.  (Erin even prepared her galoshes just in case).  We scheduled their first look for mid afternoon.  They both lit up when they saw each other.  Erin and Fran were both a ton of fun during their engagement session, and the fun continued through the wedding day!  Everyone was so happy to be there, and the party at the end of the night just proved that. Here's their preview!

Courtney and Paul - Wedding

A few weeks back, Courtney and Paul had their wedding at the Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania. Meeting up with Courtney and her bridesmaids, 1 of who was a familiar face - I shot Keri's bucks county wedding 2 years ago.

During the ceremony, Courtney had the biggest smile on her face the whole time, and Paul couldn't keep his eyes off his beautiful bride.

The Arboretum is a beautiful place, and we had full access to all of the gardens.  Getting shuttled around on the golf cart, the whole bridal party and I spent about an hour having fun and taking some great wedding pictures.

A casual reception under the tent with nice weather outside made for a great relaxed evening with their friends and family all around them!

Heather and Shaun - Wedding

A chilly day a few weeks ago, I drove up to Macungie to photograph Heather and Shaun's wedding.  It was a small and very nice intimate wedding.  As with most weddings, everyone was lots of smiles and so much fun to work with. Heather's dress was a very nice, classic lace gown, while Shaun was decked out in a pretty cool looking Zoot suit!

Towards the end of the reception, a couple of the guys brought out some "props" and we got a few pictures of everyone having fun. (at the bottom).

Jess and Daryl

This may be one of the most packed blog posts I have ever done!  Jess and Daryl got married at Normandy Farms in Blue Bell, PA.  A few months back, we went back to high school, to photograph their engagement session (where they met, in marching band :) )  Council Rock High School was such a fun and different back drop, and it really help them both have a relaxed time - even if there were a few teachers walking around.

Normandy Farms is a beautiful scene for a fall wedding.  The day was a little bit windy, but with some strategic locations, we turned out with some excellent pictures.  With their friends and family, These two partied the night away.  The sounds of Paris of EBE talent kept the dance floor packed the entire night!

Take a look at some awesome wedding pictures!
