Jacqueline and Dan had an amazing day! Its been a while since I’ve been to the Ballroom at the Ben for a wedding, I had forgotten how beautiful it is!
Jacqueline and Dan met at her sister Kelly’s wedding in 2011! That just makes their wedding all that more special I think. It was great to see the family again for such a special occasion.
Alexa had the pleasure of photographing the guys before the ceremony, you’ll see they found an awesome bouncy castle to use for a backdrop. I was with the ladies at Jacqueline’s parents, an amazing house for pictures. I love shooting there.
The first look with Dad is one of the most special moments in this family, he is one proud Papa! Dad also continued the tradition of stepping on the brides veil after giving her away at the church, exactly the same thing he did with Jacqueline’s sister. Don’t worry that veil was secure and nobody was harmed in the stepping on the veil.
We took pictures around Independence Hall in Philadelphia. A great looking bridal party for sure! It was a beautiful spring day, couldn’t have asked for better weather! Jacqueline and Dan make an adorable couple. They both have these majestic blue eyes! Truly mesmerizing! Jacqueline’s dress was gorgeous an moved so beautifully. They were both just perfect.
The Ballroom at the Ben looked amazing! Marcus Hook Florist did a fantastic job with the flowers! The ballroom looked amazing. Big Ric was there to party the night away, I love Big Ric he has such a big personality and talent to match. The reception was a fantastic dance party! It was truly a perfect day all around. I couldn’t be more excited for this fabulous couple!
Enjoy this slideshow and some images from the day.

I’ve been photographing Hutch since he was just about a year old! Its amazing to watch these kiddos grow up and I always feel special that I get to capture them every year. Hutch will be 7 this year!! He makes me run and work harder every year, little stinker, he likes to test me by playing blinking games and trying to get away from the camera. Stinker right? But its all good, I have his number. We always have fun and keep things active. Over the years not much has changed, he loves his sports. He has been hitting the baseball since he was two! This kid has some skills, he has a great arm and knows how to bat and make contact with the ball. He just gets better every year. This year his half siblings joined us for the session. He has such a unique relationship with each of them and it was a special thing to see them all together. We all had a wonderful time this year. We got to capture all the little things Hutch is into right now, making a memory book of his trip to California, playing chess…trying to teach me how to play… reading his favorite tickle book with mom, racing mom, climbing in the tree house, playing baseball with his siblings and being his silly Hutch self all at the same time! It was a wonderful afternoon, I always have a great time when I see this family. Enjoy!

I had a lovely Philadelphia Engagement session with Lauren & Kevin a few weeks ago! They brought along their baby, a Bernese mountain dog named Rufus. He was a big teddy bear, BIG, friendly and loving as ever. He really gets the attention, everywhere we went people were drawn to him, I mean how could they not be, he is beautiful! No wonder Lauren and Kevin wanted to have him along for photos, he was a great model. Lauren and Kevin are beautiful too, no denying that! Everyone shined in front of the camera and we had a lovely stroll around Old City that morning. I’m looking forward to seeing them again in March for their wedding, I don’t think Rufus will be there for that though. Thanks again you guys!

Sterling might look a little familiar, we did a session with just her a few weeks ago, this time around we did some Philadelphia Family Portraits in Rittenhouse Square with the whole family! Everyone was in town to celebrate her birthday, its not often that both sets of grandparents are together so it was a special occasion for sure! I think the images will say it all, but Sterling is loved to pieces by everyone! She knows how to absorb all of that love too, a special little lady indeed! I had a wonderful time getting to know her Uncle and Grandparents, they couldn’t be more proud of her. I love photographing families with such outgoing personalities. Philadelphia Family Portraits are one of my favorite kind of sessions to capture!
