Too many favorites. I can't remember the last time I posted so many "previews" but Emily and Will had such a beautiful day and they are incredibly photogenic so I am sharing these......24.....photos with you.
As soon as I arrived to the location in Philadelphia, I fell in love with the little alley right across the street from the church. Luckily, the rain held off long enough that we were able to go over and shoot all of the formals and BG shots there. I love the way Emily planned everything, very "preppy-chic".
Emily, thank you for being such a beautiful and graceful bride, you were incredibly easy to photograph and I really enjoyed spending the day with you and Will (and friends!). And Will, thanks for directing me to the correct parking lot and lending me your cell phone :) It was a great day and I hope the photos commemorate it for you!
I love Emily's expression in both of the last two photos at the church, just happy. And check out the huge bow she added to her dress. It is so over-the-top and absolutely made the dress!
Venue : Philadelphia Racquet Club

Quick shot from Saturday's wedding at the Racquet Club of Philadelphia. This wedding was beautiful and meticulously planned and I will definitely be sharing more. First things first, a sneak peek at one of my favorite images from the end of the night. I think outdoor night shots might be my new favorite thing.

I celebrated my 27th birthday on Thursday and was gifted with this delicious cupcake by a dear friend who knows me too well. (Banana with butter cream icing mmmm). Really, the best thing about having a birthday is eating cake and ice cream (and in my opinion, PIZZA). My husband brought home a pint of my favorite, chunky monkey and unfortunately, we fell asleep before I even got the chance to taste it. I did however get the chance to eat this cupcake so my birthday was not cake-less.

Happy Birthday Kaite, so sweet! Cupcakes are the best!

By now this shoot was over a month ago, which is plain to see from all of the snow! I wanted to share it because I really enjoyed my time with Milan, he is such a sweet and fun little boy and he definitely kept me enteretained.
We started the shoot off at home playing with trucks (I was loving that lime green wall!). I love a house with expression, it definitely makes a home and gives a you a taste of the style and personalities of those who live there. When Milan was "over" the shoot, we decided to plan another time to get together and to my delight, it turned out to be snowing that morning! I loved shooting in the snow and I'm so glad that everyone was up for it. I can't wait to meet Milan's little sister, as you can see they already make such a beautiful family.

After a whirlwind month of last-minute wedding details, planning, preparing and verging on a mental breakdown, Jeff and I are finally married! I have a whole new perspective on weddings after planning and having my own. I definitely have a newfound appreciation for everything that goes into the organization and overall aesthetic of the day. It's a LOT of work and my hat goes off to all of the brides (and grooms) who plan the gorgeous weddings I photograph.
I owe a thank you to many couples for all of the ideas I've gathered over the years and was able to put to use in my own wedding. I've seen highlights from my photographers which are absolutely amazing and you can see them here. I can't wait to see everything Joe and his team captured, the suspense is killing me! For now, I just have a few photos from before the ceremony. I did take my camera and shot some of the prep of my girls getting ready but most of the photo credits for these shots go to my sister-in-law, Karen. She did a beautiful job with some of these, my favorite moments! She is in the first shot in green, one of the only two I shot in the post. The other is of my Dad waiting to walk me down the aisle :)
A special thank you to Jessie for my "something borrowed". Both of the beautiful veils I wore for my wedding were generously lent to me by former client and friend. I can't think of a more thoughtful gesture and it really meant so much to me to be able to borrow these from such a special person.
I can't express how beautiful the day was in spite of the stormy and very wet weather conditions. Everything was like a dream and it went as fast! My best advice is to enjoy every minute and take a moment to recognize that all of the people who matter most in your life are here, together in one place, for you and only you. It is a remarkable feeling to be surrounded by so much love. Many more photos to come including the remainder of the wedding and of course, the honeymoon!
