Regina and Chris's engagement session in downtown Bethlehem

October 27, 2013

Leading up to their wedding next summer at Skytop Lodge, Regina, Chris & I got together on Sunday to explore downtown Bethlehem and take pictures to celebrate their engagement. We started on the campus of Moravian College and then took a little bike excursion. We popped into Bethlehem Brew Works and ended up outside the Hotel Bethlehem. It was a great fall afternoon and evening and I truly can't wait for their wedding! Thanks to Regina and Chris for letting me be part of the big day and I hope you love your engagement pictures!

Crystal & Chris' engagement shoot at the Shawnee Inn

October 13, 2013

Crystal and Chris didn't have to travel far when we got together at Shawnee Inn to shoot pictures celebrating their engagement. They live in Shawnee and are tying the knot at the Inn next year. Their wedding should be a blast. I love engagement photos on the Delaware River in the fall. Here are some of my faves from our session on the river earlier this month!

Jennifer & Sean's Wedding at Woodsgate at Stroudsmoor Country Inn!

September 21, 2013

A late summer wedding at Woodsgate at Stroudsmoor Country Inn was a highlight of my wedding season this year. Being with Jenn and Sean, who I now consider friends of mine, on their wedding day was a real honor for me. Both their families and all their friends made me feel like family. I'm posting my top pictures from their big day.

Beautiful Wedding at Valley Green Inn in Philadelphia

September 20, 2013

It's always exciting working at a new venue for the first time. I've always loved the Valley Green Inn but I had not photographed a wedding there until this September. I met with the bride and groom (who's names I'm withholding for their privacy) and I was thrilled when booked me to document their big day at Valley Green Inn in Philadelphia. Their intimate wedding sounded phenomenal and I wanted to be part of it.

Eighty guests gathered to hear the couple exchange their vows at Valley Green Inn in Fairmount Park. The weather was great and the setting on the Wissahickon Creek is a perfect spot for a wedding. The creek also makes a great backdrop for wedding formals. If wedding plans are not in your future, you should still stop by Valley Green Inn for lunch, dinner or a look around.

Marirose and Jim's wedding day starts with a bang

August 17, 2013

You really learn a lot about somebody when a vintage Rolls Royce crashes into their house on their wedding day. On Saturday, I learned what Marirose, Caitlin and Dr. Pat Grady are all about.

As Caitlin helped her sister finish getting ready for her big day, Pat and I were in the living room, taking a few pictures.

Without warning, it sounded like the house was collapsing around us. As the house shook, I thought is was an earthquake. When the noise stopped, we bolted out the front door. In the driveway we saw the classic white Rolls Royce that Pat had booked to drive Marirose to the wedding, had crashed into the garage. It took out the door and part of a brick wall.

Marirose and Caitlyn were right behind us and and were as shocked as we were to see the garage damage and the mangled front end of the Rolls. The driver, who was really shaken up and muttering a lot, said he lost his brakes in the Gradys' driveway.

The girls took a quick look at the scene and pretty much said 'that's insane- nobody's hurt- let's finish getting ready'. And that's exactly what they did. Twenty minutes later the family was in the back of a stretch limo and headed to St. Lukes Catholic Church like nothing ever happened!

The rest of the day went like this: beautiful wedding, fun photo shoot in Delaware Water Gap, cocktail hour, dinner and a big bash at Flander's Valley in New Jersey. The weather stayed fantastic, just like Marirose and Jim.
