RECAP OF 2012 : ENGAGEMENT SESSIONS

So its about that time of year again for us to post a recap of all of the awesome couples we had a chance to shoot engagement session for throughout 2012.  Its amazing how much time is just flying by whether we want it to or not.  We had a great year of growth and we are already looking forward to wait 2013 will have in store for us

We could not have asked for a better way to start our engagement sessions for the year, than a trip to Miami to shoot our dear friends Laura & Isong.  If you missed this epic CRAZY day, be sure to click on their engagement session here.

Of course we would not have missed the opportunity to make the short trip up the NJ Turnpike to shoot our long time friends Tiffany & Eli’s engagement session.  Our trip would not have been complete without a stop at BBQ’s before heading back home (no pictures of our drinks are included). Click here to check out the full post.

We just loved the idea that Marianne & Kris had to have their shoot at the Adventure Aquarium in NJ.  Click here to see the full post.

Although it was our first time shooting at Longwood Gardens, we could not have asked for a better couple to show us around.  Be sure to click here if you missed Tiffany & Roy’s e-session.

After a basic google search and a couple of meetings later, it did not take long for us to end up back at Longwood Gardens, with our camera’s pointed at this stylish couple.  Jeronica & Keith’s engagement session was as fun filled and classy as they are. Click here to view their e-session.

Although not a full engagement session, we still loved the idea for Gia & Ricardo to have their Save-The-Date session at the Free Library of Philadelphia.  Click here to see the full post.

SPRING MILL BALLROOM WEDDING : BYRON & CARMELLA

It is not often ever that we can say that we were right there when one of our couples began their actual journey together.  Of course at the time, as we all sat at the restaurant amongst family and friends, none of us knew that these two would end up spending the rest of their lives together, but boy is it sweet to see.  Nothing like a light hearted disagreement discussion amongst friends over NBA basketball, and who the greatest teams or players are at present.

Carmella is one of the most lovable people you could ever meet with the kindest spirit…really!  In fact, as Byron would say “she is a really, really good girl”…as he shakes his head up & down and smiles appropriately.  And Byron….lets just say that our dear friend Byron is a fire cracker if you could ever meet one….and together they blend perfectly.  After years of doing it all on their own, the day came for the two of them to blend their lives harmoniously together and embark on the next chapters of their lives.

We hope you enjoy a few of our favorite images!

Beautiful!!

B & C decided to see each other before the ceremony to take pictures.  We love it each time our couples decide to do so because it creates such a wonderful dynamic for photos and a great layout to fully enjoyed the rest of the wedding day.

A behind the scenes look at the big cheese in action, this is why I pay her the big bucks! :)

After some nice picture time, it was time for the actual ceremony.

Of course there is nothing wrong with a little touch up before we head over to the beautiful Spring Mill Ballroom.

Great job to Brewington Media on the seating chart.

We thought Byron’s Sudoku cake was a nice touch.

Classic!

Congrats again Carmella & Byron!! We will be seeing the two of you around soon, we’re sure.

GERMAN SOCIETY WEDDING PHILADELPHIA : JEANNETTE & JAMIE

10-10-10…was probably one of the most popular wedding dates of the year and with a date as unique as that, how could it not be.  One of the cute things about Jeannette & Jamie is that Jamie was allowed to chose their wedding date, and of course a guy as unique as Jamie had to chose 10-10-10.   Jamie even said that he threw out there maybe 11-11-11 and…..of course Jeannette wasn’t buying it.  You might remember Jeannette and Jamie from there engagement session here. Anywho, we started the day at the lovely Sofitel Hotel in center city Philadelphia, which made for a great location for bridal prep pictures.

Jeannette had a personalized cake topper made in resemblance of her and Jamie along with their 2 dogs…how cute!

We headed over to Logan Circle for Jeannette & Jamie’s first look.  We love it when our clients elect to see each other before their ceremony.  It can generally allow for the bride & groom to not have to miss out on their entire cocktail hour.

We just love all of the emotion involved in a first look.

Can you tell that Jamie was excited about the fact that he was about to marry his best friend???

Jeannette you look absolutely content & happy!

We then headed over to the German Society for the ceremony & reception.  We love the old time feel it provided.

The only way we can explain this next sequence is that Jeannette was having some fun with this little guy and he was just enamored by her dress so this is the result : )

We had time for a few more quick B&G pictures and we cannot ask for better clients that are willing to go along with some of our sometimes abnormal ideas…….and we love the results!

Their were a number of different toasts and they always provide a range of different emotions.

Jeannette & Jamie had the fine folks at The Franklin Fountain provide some very unique & tasty ice cream (yes we got a chance to have some & it was awesome!)

How could we not include a picture of  this couple with their matching heart shape shirts (Btw, they glow in dark).

What a perfect way to end the night. Congrats again Jeannette and Jamie!

RADNOR HUNT WEDDING : KIRSTIN & KEVIN

“Oh yeah by the way mom before I get off of the phone Kevin and I are dating now”……..That is how Kirstin told her mother that her and then best friend Kevin had decided to become a couple after a long time of her mother hearing “Oh no mom, its not like that Kevin and I are just friends, he is my best friend.”  Kirstin & Kevin spent countless hours hanging out together with their other college friends back at Lehigh University.  They have since moved their lives to the melting pot of the world known as New York city to pursue their careers.

Remember that Saturday a few weeks ago when the temperature reached triple digits?  That is the day that Kirstin & Kevin were married at the beautiful Radnor Hunt in Radnor, PA.   Despite the heat Ron and I had a blast shooting their wedding.  It was a day filled with high school & college reuniting, a horse drawn carriage, and good old fashioned love & laughter.   This is a pretty long post so without further ado, lets get on to the images!

Kirstin was ready to rock by the time we were scheduled to arrive and this is one of the first images we took.  LOVE IT!!!

The bridesmaids were also very elegant we might add.

As Kirstin was about to come down the aisle the flower girl decided that she had already had enough of the heat and attempted to hide behind mommy for some shade.

Kirstin’s mom looking on.

It is something about this shot that we really like!

The Live Band had the party jumping all night.

A few of their spirited guests ‘posing’ for the camera!

Kirstin & Kevin thanks for giving us the opportunity to share with you on your special day.  Congrat’s again!

THE MANSION AT RIDLEY CREEK : STACEY & NICK’S WEDDING – PART II

As promised, here is Part II of Stacey & Nick’s wedding.  We will forego all of the ‘wording’ this time around and let the images speak for themselves.  Let us know what you think.

We absolutely loved shooting at the Mansion at Ridley Creek, we could shoot there every weekend and not run out of nice areas to shoot.

It is something about this picture that we really liked, great job guys!

Work it girls…

With half of the guest being from New York and the other half from Philly, from the moment the dance floor opened up you could tell these folks came to party.

As we often times like to do, we ended the day with a few more portraits.

Absolutely LOVE these last two!!!

Stacey & Nick, thanks again for allowing us to share in your special day, we are wishing you all the best.
