We really dodged a bullet with the weather at Julie’s and Pat’s wedding last weekend. But at the end of the day, we got some really fun and beautiful photos. The people at Hershey’s Mill were really nice and Schaffer Sound pumped that room full of beats!
Special thanks (again) to Mark Deniken and to Nick Gould. I couldn’t have pulled it off without them.
We had such a great shoot at the Hotel DuPont this past Sunday and I had so many fun shots that I was able to do a nice same-day video to play at the reception. Take a look!
I had to take a break from editing to write about Michelle’s and Danny’s fantastic wedding at the Hotel DuPont last night. I started the days with the boys who were a wild, craps-playing bunch.
Then it was upstairs to see Michelle. Little Alyssa was the perfect flower girl.
The girls were wild in their own way. They drank almost all the champagne before the toast!
The bridal suite had so much great light. Is anyone tired of hearing me say that?
Time was tight but we did manage to find a few minutes to do a quick session outside.
The reception was really kicked into high gear by Jason Weldon from Synergetic Sounds.
Overall, a great night to be partying in Wilmington DE. I wish Michelle and Danny all the luck in the world!
Shooting at the Hotel DuPont is always a good time but this day we were luckier than most photographers in the area as we got to grab the only slice of sunshine that was to be found the whole weekend. So my crew and the wedding party hoofed it down the block to the Wilmington Grand Opera House.
Mark and Ole were there to back me up. Yeah, boy!
Wow! What a fun day! The lucky couple is off on their honeymoon and I’m going back to editing. Can’t wait to show them their album pre-design when they get back!
I was so flattered when I walked into the Waterford Ballroom for Sandy and Kyle’s wedding reception and saw their engagement photos all over the place for their guests to see! We had such fun that day and got great photos. I had set the bar pretty high but I think we pulled it off!
Sandy and Kyle look great doing whatever. They made me look really good!
Whoops! How did these guys get in here?
Good luck to the both of them!
I think the thing I love the most about Philly (besides the people!) are the historic buildings. Sarah and Teddy came all the way up from South Carolina to get married here and they couldn’t have picked a more historic and romantic building than the Bellevue. Sarah knew I was all about the light so she picked a suite with windows on two sides!
You can’t get married in Center City without the obligatory shot looking down Broad Street. It’s still a lot of fun, though!
The Grand Ballroom is one of the most ornate and beautiful anywhere!
I gotta give a special shout out to Chris Kendig who worked overtime to pull down the important shots when I needed them most!
Even though this was the second of back-to-back weddings, I came away feeling like I was on a cloud! Sarah and Teddy and their families are so warm and made me feel like I was a part of them. I really do have the best job in the world!
Deb and Pat have been friends all their lives. They grew up around the corner from each other and when their friendship grew into love, they had a huge celebration to tell the world! Their Hotel DuPont wedding was awesome (including the weather which has been dumping rain on us for almost two months straight).
I don’t think there has ever been a marriage so set in stone as this one. I wish them all the luck in the world! And thanks to Ryan Estes for helping out on this one!
I’m still editing Alane’s and Frank’s wedding from Saturday and just had to post these. They are super-cool and let me do (almost) whatever I wanted so I staged a paparazzi invasion. That’s my faithful assistant, Mark, behind the camera!
Ha! Who says wedding photography can’t be fun?
I just checked out the blog of my good friend, fashion photographer Djordje Zivaljevic from Montenegro. We attended the Yervant workshop together. We shot side by side and for some reason, he came away with the most incredible, sexy images I’ve ever seen. Go take a look at his Venice photos as well as the rest of his work. He shoots all over the world so go check him out.
Cathy and I had the honor of photo graphing the wedding of our good friends Carrie and Steve in NYC yesterday. What a cool place for a wedding! Steve and I go way back and he’s the last one of us to tie the knot so I sure wasn’t going to miss that one!
Steve takes on Wall Street!
Carrie got ready at the Empire Hotel right across the street from Lincoln Center. The plaza in front is a fantastic place for photos.
The Empire Hotel is super-hip and cool inside. You can’t got wrong shooting there!
It’s been a long time coming but I know this one will last forever. Good luck, Carrie and Steve!
