Flower Girls – Julia and Tony, Landis Valley Museum, Lancaster PA
I was privileged to photograph Julia and Tony’s wedding at the Landis Valley Museum in Lancaster, PA. Here are two portraits I took of the flower girls toward the end of the evening. I noticed this spotlight as it got dark, and knew I had to use it for something fun. I found the flower girls and their mother and asked them to pose for a series of shots. Many, many more photos from the entire day to come – visit again soon!

Angela and Matt were married in the Arch Street Meetinghouse at 4th and Arch in Philadelphia, moving on (through the rain, unfortunately!) to The Downtown Club for an awesome celebration. The wedding was planned by cHill Weddings, and the details and setup were outstanding.

Michaune and Andre, National Constitution Center
This is another roundup from 2008, with photos from Michaune and Andre’s wedding I’ve never posted. The National Constitution Center was simply an amazing venue, with an impressive Philadelphia backdrop all the way down Independence Mall to Independence Hall in Old City, Philadelphia.

Flashback to election 2008: we happened-upon a protest near the hotel where Sarah Palin was staying for a campaign stop in Philadelphia, and promptly joined the crowd to lots of cheers and attention…

Rachel and Andy, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia (PAFA)
Ever since I shot an engagement session with Rachel and Andy, I was really excited to photograph their wedding at PAFA. Not only is the location awesome, but they were so obviously in love and were both so emotionally expressive. They, of course, did not disappoint; here is a selection of shots from their beautiful wedding at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.

We were excited to find an open fire escape door from the private area at the Philadelphia PAFA, which made for a bunch of interesting photos of Rachel and Andy away from the crowd.
