FALL WEDDING IN CENTRAL PARK | NEW YORK CITY ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER
MANAYUNK BREWING COMPANY WEDDING | PHILADELPHIA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
Allie and Andy’s love story began 7 years ago in New Jersey. They had their first date at the Hamilton Inn in Jersey City and thats where Andy Proposed to Allie on the Christmas Eve of 2017. After 1.5 years of planning a beautiful wedding together, they got married at the Manayunk Brewing Company in Philadelphia.
Their wedding day was beyond perfect and Allie looked stunning on her Stella York wedding gown. After days of rain, the sun shined just on time for their big day. We did their first look and bride and groom portraits at the Wissahickon Valley Park near Manayunk brewing company. It was lovely photographing them so smitten with each other.
After the first dance, my favorite part of the night was definitely the adorable father and daughter dance. It was so precious and heart warming to see the bond Allie and her Dad shared.

LOUNSBURY HOUSE WEDDING | CONNECTICUT WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
Michael and Christina’s love story began in 2013 in Tufts University where they both went for College. 5 years later, I had the pleasure of documenting their beautiful wedding in Lounsbury House, a 1896 national historic site located in Ridgefield, CT. The venue was one of the coziest places I have ever photographed in. It complemented the couple’s beautiful romance and their vision of a classic wedding with modern twist. Christina looked stunning in her Morilee ruffled gown and Michael looked dashing in his black Tuxedo by Ike Behar. They had a beautiful garden ceremony with approximately 100 of their closest family and friends in attendance and there wasn’t a shortage of teary eyes when the couple shared hand written wedding vows to each other.

HISTORIC STRAWBERRY MANSION WEDDING | PHILADELPHIA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
I love a Historic Venue with a lot of character, charm and story to tell. Historic Strawberry Mansion in Philadelphia was just that and more. This wedding was a coming together of some amazing vendors in the industry who brought the vision and creativity of Heather Benge Events into life. For as much as I am used to shooting pastel toned weddings, the explosion of colors via the gorgeous florals on this particular event made me fall in love with colors all over again.

LIGHTHOUSE BY CHELSEA PIER WEDDING | MANHATTAN WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHE
Tiana and Kirk had a fall wedding in Manhattan. We started the day in Midtown East at Intercontinental Barclay where the couple got married. We used the beautiful lobby of the hotel for their first look, family and bridal party portraits. The ceremony took place in Soho at The Basilica of St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral. This 200 year old stunning cathedral which also happens to be the Couple’s church is the original Cathedral of the Archdiocese of New York. For reception we drove west in a vintage checker NY taxi cab to Lighthouse by Chelsea Pier. The venue greeted us with beautiful sunset for portraits during cocktail hour. The couple, family and friends danced the night away with an incredible performance by the Hank Lane band. It was an incredible day and I was so honored to document it all for my sweet bride and groom.
