I’ve been away for the past week in Mexico for Joe and Anna’s wedding. Many posts on deck as I get back into the swing of things here. In the mean time here is a little taste from Cabo Mexico. 
We did a day after session at Lovers Beach on Sunday, I love this.
Jenn and Ray had an amazing day. Perfect weather and great company to help celebrate them tying the knot after eleven years! We had a lot of fun with everyone, but before I get too far here are some of the other important people that made the day.

We started the day with some detail shots, I thought Jen’s shoes were adorable.
The naughty and nice flower girl. 🙂
A few more details, we had fun with an old typewriter.
They getting ready begins!
Jen’s sister was there to help get her into the dress.
Last minute decisions on which necklace to wear.
A mighty handsome groom!
An adorable couple, you guys dress up well!
Jen quickly embraced her bridal beauty, she was loving the camera!
Awe, one of my favorites.
A few portraits as we went inside before the ceremony began, the light was awesome.
These two did an awesome job with their flower and ring duties.
Jen opted to be a little less traditional and walked herself down the isle, here comes the bride!
On her way to one happy groom.
A few nice moments with their parents.
What a flower girl and ring barer do during the ceremony….
Love this moment!
They had a small bridal party, it was a wonderful change of pace from the usual bridal party numbers.
Time to have a little fun in that dress.
We snuck off to the cellar for a few shots.
This group was a lot of fun to shoot while dancing.
An end of night shot.
Wouldn’t be appropriate to end the evening with out these two sticking out their tongues! You guys are too much. 
So much fun, thank you for having us out to document your day!!

What a gorgeous day we had with Becca and Aidan. With a break in temperatures and a little cloud cover it was the perfect day. They both enjoyed relaxing mornings getting ready, hanging pool side and enjoying friends and family. The timing was great, no rushing around and excitement was brewing till they saw each other for the first time. Lets get to some images, ok a lot of images, but first there are some other important people to mention.
Vendors:
Venue, make-up, caterer: Bear Creek Mountain Resort

We caught up with Becca right before the veil went on. She was glowing.
A little quiet time to write rewrite her vows for easy reading.
Dress time!
Crying room only please. 🙂 This was an emotional event for Becca’s closest friends. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house as she got into her dress.
One gorgeous bride!
We did a first meet so we could have plenty of time for photos and they could enjoy the party after the ceremony.
Aren’t they adorable?
Portrait time, Bear Creek has a a lot of cool textures and spots for photos.
A classic and favorite. 
I don’t think I have ever seen so many butterflies actually on a butterfly bush. We probably spent too much time just watching the butterfly frenzy in a amazement. Its like we had all never seen a butterfly. I am happy they posed for a few shots.
Yeah, checking each other out. Not to shabby, each of them is happy with what the other has to offer! 🙂
As always you have to have some fun in that gorgeous dress!
Look at those baby blues, popping nicely off that red wall. Mighty handsome there Aidan. 
Becca was a really “tough” bride to work with…
A little freeze frame on a man down in the motion sequence! No worries nobody was harmed in this event, clothing was fine too. Watch the slideshow for the whole effect.
Aidan’s groomsmen had a little surprise for him. This seems to be a regular thing for these guys.
That’s one bunch of ugly groomsmen. I love it.
The Motley Crew.
I think Aidan was just a tad excited to marry Becca.
Love this look.
The beautiful day.
One proud papa.
Sealing the deal.
Yeah, congrats you guys!
Bling bling.
A taste of the party.
Becca and Aidan busted out with a surprise karaoke song for everyone. It was a hit. Watch the slideshow to hear the song they sang.
It was a blast, but then again we all knew it would be right? Thank you so much for having me out. I am so happy for you.

I had so much fun with Dina and Pat! The day stated out like a monsoon, we hadn’t had rain in over a month and literally a months worth of rain fell on the area the morning of their wedding. We made a few changes in regards to rain plans but in the end the storms rolled out just in time for us to head into the city for the portraits. It was a gorgeous day, perfect light, perfect temperatures. We couldn’t have asked for more.
Before this post that is full of images here are the other wedding professionals that contributed to making this day all that it was:
Dress: Pronovias
Flowers: Alvin’s Flowers, Dina’s flowers were like a sculpture of flowers. They were amazing. I kept calling them her baby. 🙂

Band: Vincent James Band
Make-up: Clinique by Alex Kania
Venue: Crystal Tea Room
Caterer: Finley
Photobooth: Wilmington Photobooth

I loved Dina’s shirt when I arrived.
Mom watching as the veil goes on.

The amazing bouquet of flowers, AKA the baby. I’ve never seen a bouquet quite like this, they were stunning.
Reactions on both ends to seeing each other the first time.
Married!!
Their church was beautiful
Might be my favorite.
Dina was ready to strut her stuff.
Another favorite, I told you that the light was amazing.
Some real Dina personality.
high fives, awesome portrait shoot
Misty got this “luck” shot as I call them. She captured me setting off my other flashes for this awesome image. Not too shabby timing pressing out shutters at the exact same moment.
(you see my on camera flash there on the right)
Some great speeches and reactions
The St. Joe’s Hawk made a surprise appearance.
The one specific shot Pat really wanted. 🙂 Its always fun to head out to broad street for night shots.
We had so much fun with you guys! Thank you so much for having us out to document your day.

I was so excited for Thu and Alex’s wedding. My first experience with a Vietnamese wedding. I love learning about other cultures and their traditions.
We will get into photos in a sec, first here are the other professionals that made the day go smoothly.
Venue: The Elkins Estate. (AMAZING place, I highly recommend this venue. This was my first time there and its simply gorgeous.)
Flowers: provided by a friend of the family.
Dress: Rivini
Caterer: Culinary Concepts
Cake: Confection Perfection
DJ: Ebe
Second Photographer: Andrea Mecci
Assistant Photographer: Stephanie Lugo
(Big thanks to Stephanie and Andrea! They stepped up to help out in a big way on this day. The one thing about being a photographer is that you can not call out of work if you are sick. On this particular day I happened to be very ill, horrible cough, fever and migraine. It didn’t stop me from doing what I needed to do to get the job done and with extra help from Stephanie and Andrea we made it through the day. With lots of medication I was feeling much better by the time the ceremony came along. Thu, Alex and their families were very wonderful to me as well and I am very grateful for that.)
When we arrived at Thu’s house for the first of two tea ceremonies this is how we found the men. They were waiting for the ladies to make their entrance and would be giving them their flowers.
Alex presenting Thu with her flowers.
The first of two tea ceremonies started at the brides house. They burned incense sticks, asking for permission from the ancestors to bless them. They then bowed to their parents, gave thanks for raising and protecting them and then bowed to each other. The tea and candle ceremony along with speeches followed. Thu and Alex served tea to their parents. Each parent gave advice about marriage and family. The candle ceremony followed, symbolizing the joining of the bride and groom and the joining of the two families. Thu and Alex then both received gifts of jewelry from their parents. Make sure to watch the slideshow at the bottom of this post for more images.
Here is Alex’s dad giving some advise.
Food was an integral part of the whole day. It was taken and presented to Alex’s parents at the second ceremony at Alex’s family home.
A few details
Thu and Alex had wonderfully colored traditional Vietnamese wedding outfits.
Ready for ceremonies to begin at Alex’s parents.
Ah, kids. Makes me smile!
Bowing to the ancestors of Alex’s family.
A nice little moment, Thu and Alex looking at a little scrap book of images.
Now we are venturing into the western ceremony at Elkins Estate.
Some bling
Thu’s shoes were awesome.
Loved this old stair case at Elkins. Went along nicely with the color scheme for the day as well.
The ring barer and his sister.
Thu looked amazing.
Thu right before seeing Alex for the “first” time, in the wedding dress and tux at least.
I love this view point of Alex seeing Thu in her dress for the first time.
The story of Alex and Thu is a pretty cool one. They have been together for a very long time, nine years I believe. They met at Thu’s sisters wedding. Alex was the best man and Thu was the maid of honor. They hit it off and have gone through a lot over the years, long distance living and everything in between. Needless to say this was a very happy occasion for everyone involved.
Beautiful flower girls.
Thu was stunning.
The Elkins Estate is an amazing place to get married.
I had Stephanie placed here inconspicuously for this shot.
And your married!!!
A little fun run with the bridal party.
I loved this tree.
One of my favorites.
They are almost like cake toppers on this stump.
The reception at Elkins was gorgeous!! I loved the lime accents on the chairs and napkins.
One last shot of Elkins.
Thu and Alex I am so happy for you guys. Thank you so much for having us out to document your day!
Be sure to watch the slideshow for a more in depth look into the day.

LOVED her veil.
Eventricity did a stunning job with the flowers, so unique and exotic.
Mom helping to get into the dress. Love these below.
Chris had some drinks with his groomsmen at the Las Vegas lounge before heading to the Omni to meet Teresa, in route to the hotel he walked along with a marching band. 
We did a first meet with Teresa and Chris, always love these moments.
Ben Franklin was there to congratulate the couple too!
Safe to say Teresa rocked the bride look that day.
One of my favorites.
Ok, so its safe to say that all these images from their wedding are my favorites, I may start to sound repetitive soon.
Chris was exceptionally handsome in his tux.
They really are a great pair.
a little sass
On the look out for her husband to be, where art thou?
These go perfectly together.
nuff said, LOVE it.
Classic and Timeless, Simple and Beautiful.
Teresa gave all her girls these fabulous heart shape sunglasses and awesome purses. We had a lot of fun with them.
Hehe, this just cracks me up! Andrea snapped this as I was doing my motion sequence pics. It just makes me smile.
Chris cracking up at Teresa who can turn on the attitude for the camera.
These mail men were just taking a little break, the perfect photo op! Maybe a postage stamp even.
Some details.
Wonderful moments before heading down the isle.
I love how everyone was very into the ceremony.
Ring exchange.
Teresa, trying not to cry.
Married, hey everyone!
They took some time to chill during the cocktail hour, I snuck up to their room to congratulate them and for this quick shot. 
This little guy is Teresa’s nephew, oh man what a ham! He entertained people all night long. 
The little flower girl in her yellow fluff of awesomeness.
Fun times at the reception. Synergetic Sounds did it once again, they always keep the party going.

We started the day at the Bellevue in center city where Chris and Mary got ready. I thought it would be a cool background to do their first meet in the middle of Broad Street. Ole got some cool shots of Chris right before we met up.
The first meet from each perspective. LOVE this.
They are just too adorable.
Make sure to watch the slideshow at the bottom of this post for some fun bridal party stop motion.
On to Glen Foerd for pictures. I love this of Mary, I feel like it could be an ad for Lazaro.
Mary is just gorgeous, it was difficult to take a bad photo of her which made the edit of this wedding even more difficult! 
simple, classic, timeless
Glen Foerd makes for a great backdrop.
I LOVE this. This would be an amazing image printed on a large canvas!
The flowers were awesome!
Stephanie grabbed this before the girls headed down for the ceremony. I love it.
Chris waiting for his bride to come down the isle.
It was the perfect day!
And they are married!!!
I sense a pattern here………
a little bling.
LOVE LOVE this.
Ole kept this idea tucked away when he first saw the school buses dropping off guests for the wedding and towards the end of the night when the bus was waiting for the first load of guest to take back to the hotel he told me about it and we ran out and grabbed some fun shots with the bus! Way to go Ole.
Thank you soooo much! We all had a wonderful time with you and everyone.
Warning to get some tissues, if I tear up on this slideshow I know you all will…
Such a fun time at this wedding! It was Antonia’s big fat Italian wedding! When I arrived at her house that is exactly the feel I got. Food to feed an army, all the family gathered around…..the computer talking to relatives on skype in Italy. It was hard to move in the kitchen. 🙂 They were great fun though and it was so nice to be around such a tight knit family. She has a true Italian family, most of them were speaking Italian the whole day and Antonia would switch back and forth as needed between the two. I almost felt like I was in Italy! I’ll talk about more things along the way through this post, its a big one! First here are the other important people who made this day what it was.
Church: St. Donato
Venue: Phoenixville Foundry
Flowers: Alvin’s Flowers
Videography: Video One
Caterer: Feast Your Eyes
Dress: Monique Lhuillier
Band: Idea 71
Second Photographer: Misty Dawn Pfeil, excellent working with you again! Thank you so much, you’ll see some of your images in here.
Assistant: Stephanie Lugo
Antonia’s grandmother sewing in a button (her something blue) from her grandfather into her dress.
This button was from his uniform in the war. A very special something to remember him by on a special day.
Here are the Italian family on Skype! Caio! They were on all day, just watching as people passed by and getting to experience part of the day. You’ll see them again during the reception.
I loved the church! 
So awesome.
It was a full catholic mass and there were plenty of nice little moments like these.
Married!
Stephanie was in the balcony and grabbed this, love shots from above.
These girls were too much, adorable.
So much about this says Italy, Philly and just happiness.
We went to one of the parks near the river where they have a restored Lock system for photos, it was pretty cool.
At the Foundry for some photos. This is the new bridge in Phoenixville, its pretty awesome.
haha! Little Antonia, the flowergirl, didn’t want to move out of the shot when we were doing some more photos of Antonia & Mark. She was content on being the subject. Too funny!
The Foundry has plenty of awesome spots for photos.
Such an awesome spot for a wedding, I love the Foundry.
Some bling.
Here is mom holding up my laptop with the slideshow I put together from images we shot during the day for the Italian family who were still on Skype at the reception! At one point Mark had the laptop and camera on the dance floor so they could be part of the dance party.
There is a fun sequence in the slideshow of Antonia’s parents dancing, I love this one though because her dad isn’t much of a smiler and here he is so happy and in the moment, I just love it.
There is sooo much more! Check out the slideshow.
Where to begin? Really. Sara and Justin are simply wonderful, a breath of fresh air. We had such a fabulous time with them and everyone at the wedding. They were a vision of true love, I can’t really say more than that there are no words.
As usual let me first mention all the other professionals that helped make this day gorgeous, delicious and fun.
Wedding Planner, Beka Rendell from Innove. She was awesome and provided such a tender calmness to the day all while keeping everything under control.
Caterer, Ross & Owren. Delicious food with a cuban flare.
Flowers, Clarks Flower Shop. Some of the most beautiful center pieces I have seen. Every one of them was unique and inventive. Simply gorgeous. Not to mention the bouquets which you will see below.
Make-up, San Gilinsky. A personal friend to the bride and did a fantastic job!!
Cake, Whipped Bakeshop. Such an amazing art deco cake.
Band, The Source. These guys were awesome.
Dress designer, Jenny Packham. I LOVED Sara’s dress. Very classic, very art deco, and just simply stunning.
Second Photographer, Andrea Cipriani Mecci. So much fun shooting with you Andrea! I am getting spoiled.
Assistant, Stephanie Lugo. You’ll see some images from Stephanie here! I don’t know what I’ll do without her when her co-op is over in the fall!
The Happy Couple.
Sara’s amazing bouquet. It was incorporated with a bible that has been in her family for generations. The bible served as the handle to hold the flowers. It was so sculptural with the incorporation of flowers and feathers. I have never seen anything like it. Sara’s mom’s black chairs provided a wonderful studio setup. 
The brides maids bouquets were equally as gorgeous. 
This is perhaps one of the best groom reactions to seeing the bride, ever. EVER. I must give Stephanie credit for this one, she had the right angle and the perfect timing. 
You can see why Justin’s jaw dropped. Sara was simply stunning.
There were many many wonderful moments. 
A small peek into Justin’s vows. Justin and Sara had probably the best vows I have ever heard. I don’t think there was a dry eye in the Temple. 
Going to the Temple in style! 
We weren’t allowed to move around at all during the ceremony, but that wasn’t a problem since there were three of us with cameras… This happens from time to time and hey its no big deal. I put Andrea on the brides side with guests and Stephanie on the groom’s side with guests. Stephanie had the perfect angle to get the next two shots. No moving around needed. 🙂 
I loved the Art Deco and cuban flare the wedding had. By the way those cigars, they were chocolate. I still think about them. They were delicious. 
I LOVE this family photo. The day wouldn’t be complete without their pooch Tilly. She had a dress and a collar of flowers. Look at those smiling faces. 
The wedding was held at Sara’s mom’s house in Bucks county. The tent was one of the best I have seen. 
There was no shortage of dancing, that’s for sure. 
I can’t say enough about you guys. Thank you so much for having me out on your day. It was an honor.
Kimberly and Mike had a great day. Very energetic group and the family members at the reception knew how to let loose. Before I get too far I want to mention the other Wedding Professionals for the day:

This little flower girl was sooo cute. 
Mike eagerly awaiting his first look with Kimberly. 
The first look. 
Off to some portraits, this is one of my favorites. 
Kimberly was excited to get in the swing set. 
Mighty good looking couple! 
Another favorite. 
This too.. 
A few details 
Married! 
Some fun shots with the bridal party 
Mike a little embarrassed during speeches. 
“Pssst” has been their code word for I love you. Secret is out now! 
They could have been bad, but they were nice. 
Love this one of Kimberly dancing with her dad. 
An old fashioned cheers for grandpa who died a few months ago, he was there in spirit though. 
ha! Love this of dad dancing. 
Synergetic does a great job of keeping the party going to the very end! Kimberly was on the dance floor most of the night. 
Be sure to check out the slideshow, more fun stuff in there!
