Anna and Jason at the Sofitel Hotel

Friday, November 7th, 2008

Anna and Jason live just down the street from us. We were recommended to them by one of my favorite couples from a couple years back. We’ve become friendly with Anna and Jason over the last year and they had my wife and I over for their Bike Race party. They live right on the bike route in Manayunk, otherwise known as the Manayunk Wall. These guys are in Jamaica right now on their honeymoon, but maybe they’ll take a peek at their email in-between frozen rum drinks! I think it’s clear by the pictures that these two enjoyed their wedding day. Didn’t surprise me a bit as they are just an incredibly fun-loving couple. Lot’s of laughter and lots of joy in this day. Congrats Anna and Jason!

Alex and Michelle at Bartrams Garden

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

Michelle and Alex were married at Bartram’s Garden in Philadelphia, it’s the oldest botanical garden in the country and such a beautiful and quaint little gem in West Philadelphia. Alex and Michelle wanted a Philadelphia Wedding. They met at Logan Circle to see each other for the first time. From there we took a little walking tour up Benjamin Franklin Parkway and took some pictures. I think we all fun. The gardens at Bartram were the perfect place for these two to kick their sandals off and exchange vows in their bare feet. I think that their Philly wedding was everything their guests hoped it would be.

Laura, Glenn…and Taylor on the Sultana

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

I’ve known Glenn since we moved to Philadelphia five years ago. I saw him more regularly when he tended bar at Union Jacks in Manayunk…and we lived right across the street. When Glenn and Laura asked me to shoot their wedding, I knew it was going to be a fun event. I’ve been shooting weddings for several years now and they may have had the most perfect day I’ve seen. The ceremony was in Chestertown, MD on a Scooner called The Sultana. The guests helped hoist the sails and we were soon in motion down the Chester River. After the ceremony we docked and were met by the rest of their guests as we walked down Main Street to the White Swan Tavern for the reception. We couldn’t be happier for Glenn, Laura and Taylor and we wish them luck as a new family! (Give a shout when you get back from your honeymoon, we’ll meet you over at Jacks!)
