The Wedding of Shannon & Mark – Cescaphe Ballroom– Philadelphia, PA

Shannon & Mark had a very, very, very cold day. I think it topped out at around 18-19 degrees. They are so positive that it would be amazing no matter what. The bridal party was really fun too. There was an unscripted groom pants dropping for a few shots which you will see in the images. Not the day to randomly wear your army camo boxer briefs. They had their wedding ceremony at St. Anthony’s in Trenton, NJ. It is a beautiful church and I have been there about 5 times in the past year and a half. The priest there is very easy going and I love working with him. We went to a mansion that was close to the church to create images for them. They did 5 minute shifts in and out of the limo, as I always do when it is cold/hot outside. On the way to center city for a few images in front of City Hall it started snowing very hard. We did make it to Cescaphe just in time for cocktail hour. You should never miss a second of cocktail hour. I always try to plan the timeline that way for all brides. Overall it was a wonderful day and am looking forward to delivering an incredible album to the bride and groom…

Shannon’s grandma was awesome, especially because she laughs at my jokes…

The priest on the left looks like The Kernel, but he is super nice and great to work with.

It was very cold out, but not too cold for the boys…

Thank you mother nature for this awesome snow. Makes city hall look amazing….

Shannon’s sister’s toast was beautiful.

This was one of the very few weddings where I could not get on the dance floor to photograph. It was crazy…

The Wedding of Dena & Pete – Forsgate Country Club – Monroe Township, NJ

Dena and Pete are a very sweet couple. She is an absolute fashionista. It is her line of work and clearly shows with all her dress details for the day. She even had a Kleinfeld’s dress on as seen on TLC’s “Say Yes, to the Dress”. We do have an inside joke about the color she used to describe her bridesmaids dresses. Love those “gun metal grey” dresses Dena;) Pete is really a super nice cool guy. He was in the bridal party of my last wedding and it was cool hanging with him again. They had a massive bridal party of 12/12, and they were really fun and easy to work with. The ceremony was held at Immaculate Conception Church in Trenton, NJ. We then went right to the Forsgate Country Club where we partied with everyone. Once again everyone was awesome about it and made it fun. Looking forward to seeing this couple again and again…

Dena said "yes to the dress" as this dress was from Kleinfelds.

Grandparents rock! You will see more from Shannon, who is on the left, from their recent wedding that I captured.

Getting to Know – Katie & Phil – West Long Branch, NJ

It turned out to be a beautiful day for Katie and Phil. They met during college at Monmouth University, so it was the obvious location for their GTKY session. Katie and Phil are very cool people with a classic, vintage style about them. Phil loves James Dean, so I studied some of the iconic portraits of the actor and we took some shots of Phil in the same fashion. We hurried to the beach to finish our session. Phil broke out some acoustic guitar, which he is rather awesome at. This couple will be getting married this fall at The Merion in Cinnaminson.

The camera in this series was owned by her father who passed away.

A little James Dean action…

Surprise Proposal – Alison & Zachary – Valley Forge, PA

I met Zachary at Janette & John’s wedding last July 4th. Zach was the best man and gave one of the most amazing toasts I have ever heard. It was like a clean version of a Comedy Central roast that was extremely funny. He contacted me about a month ago telling me his plan to propose to Alison and we setup a date, time and location for this covert operation On the day Zach texted me and let me know he is ready and it was go time! When they arrived we pretended be doing a private model shoot so that she would not be suspicious. I even set a stone out where I wanted him to stand, so that we would be ready. He was very nervous on the day as most of us are waiting all day and our lives for that one moment. After he proposed and she said yes and we came out to congratulate them. Zach and Alison had a short shooting session afterward and right now they are planning their wedding for early 2011. We will most certainly be seeing more of this awesome couple…

Zach walked Alison around until the spot cleared out for him to propose.

Notice the stone I placed for where I wanted him to stand.

Alison loves this location and she often paints and photographs here.
