Elizabeth and Tim

A couple weeks back, I was able to help out fellow photographer, Alicia Cohen, by photographing Elizabeth and Tim's wedding.  This one took me down to Washington D.C..  I met up with Tim at the Jefferson Memorial and Elizabeth followed just a few minutes behind us.  Their first glance was out of the public view and a very nice, intimate moment between them :) After a few portraits around the memorial, we headed down towards the Capitol Building and then to the Washington Monument.  The ceremony and reception were both held at the Officers Club on Fort McNair, right on the Potomic River.

Enjoy!

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...

Jaclyn and Ryan - Wedding

This past weekend was Jaclyn and Ryan's wedding.  We had me up a few months ago in Bristol for their engagement photo session. We started out at the Jaclyn's parents house, with the ladies getting ready. We then moved just down the street to St. Francis Cabrini church in Fairless Hills.   After a few quick family portraits at the church, we headed over to Bucks County Community College for the bridal party pictures.  When we got there, there were 2 other groups leaving.  As we were working with Jaclyn and Ryan, and 3 groups showed up!  Not sticking to the traditional - with help from my good friend Mark Gardner, who came to second shoot with me for a change, we found some really cool out of the way settings to use.

After a short drive, we arrived at Knowlton Mansion.  I have shot here before, and the wine cellar is such a cool place - along with the whole grounds.

Now, this group came to dance.  The whole night, I don't think anyone left the dance floor!

Check out a few previews from the day... and a slideshow at the bottom

Jen and Todd

A few weeks back, I photographed Jen and Todd's wedding. To say this day was a bit crazy - an understatement :)  I say this because I have been friends with these two and most of the bridal party for many years.  It's so much fun to work with friends on such a happy day.

The ceremony was held at St. Bede's in Holland, PA and the reception followed at Springmill Country Club in Warminster.  In between, the we made a trip to Tyler State Park in Newtown, for some fun portraits. My Friend Meagan Ebersole tagged along with me, while another friend - Derek Dienner was hired to shoot the video.  His work should be up soon - check it out!

Here's a preview of the day (a slideshow at the bottom)
