baby luke is way cute

January 29, 2010 – 1:26 pm

lauren and i are so happy for adrien+matt and their adorable little addition, luke. we had the pleasure of photographing baby & fam squad a few weeks ago at their lovely home just a few blocks from us. luke totally brought the “happy” and was an absolute joy to be around. our 5 month old baby cruz would love to hang out with him sometime soon. congratulations! enjoy.

you wouldn’t have believed my excitement when i saw these two mugs about to greet us as we walked into the house. (:

the city of love, philly style : stephanie+david

January 23, 2010 – 9:59 pm

a perfect match…. stephanie+david. they truly are meant to be. they are so happily in love and it was awesome to witness their official commitment to one another at their wedding held at the cescaphe ballroom in philadelphia. stephanie was not only one of the most laid back brides we have ever met, but also the most excited bride as well. she could not have been more ecstatic on her wedding day… never seemed nervous for a second. same goes for dave… cool and collected…. simply happy to be marrying the love of his life. (:

the day started off in the hyatt regency penns landing, in philadelphia where the bride was getting ready for her most special day. following their first look with each other, we headed over to the cescaphe ballroom. the ceremony was beautiful and the reception was out of this world…… best food ever! our knees buckled when we tried one of the coconut shrimp appetizers, so good. enjoy your lifetime of love and happiness together. thanks stephanie and dave for hanging out with us for the day. we truly enjoyed it!

enjoy.

make up artist, cindy singer of dylan michael cosmetics did a wonderful job on all the ladies. the hair styles were designed by the very talented jill kozar of up your do. special thanks goes out to our partner in crime for the day – videographer lou anthony from video by louis anthony.

the wedding dress was from l&h bridal of philadelphia, pa

the view from the hyatt regency philadelphia hotel suite, pretty epic.

the below photo was snagged by lauren as we ran outside onto the bitter cold streets of philadelphia. it just might be my favorite groomsmen shot ever.

timeless flower arrangements by florist russell anthony of bensalem, pa.

it was quite the dance scene but there was one sincere moment in particular that topped off the party…. dave serenading stephanie with the beatles song ‘here comes the sun’ while his groomsmen backed him up on stage, a cappella style. you did awesome dave!

get down get ga get down…

as the ball drops | dana+dan

January 19, 2010 – 12:22 am

this is definitely one new year’s eve we will never forget…. thank you dan and dana for some awesome memories! we were so flattered when you asked us to photograph your wedding. it was a privilege to be part of your special day (: you guys really know how to throw a party….. from the girls toasting with champagne at maxine’s house (the matron of honor and also a previous bride of ours), to the boys toasting with beers in the limo, a candlelit ceremony, followed by a full on rock star dance party at the atlantic city country club, the new year’s kiss at midnight, and so nicely closed with a breakfast served to start off 2010. we enjoyed every second of it and we know all of your friends and family did as well. congratulations to dan, dana, and cinco! you are a beautiful family and we wish you the best always!

enjoy.

the party began at genie’s salon in brigantine…

a precious moment…..

let it snow & let it snow some more | erin+steven

January 11, 2010 – 12:29 pm

lauren and i first met with erin+steve through the recommendation of our past clients shelly+dan, the wedding i shot at the hill school in pottstown pa back in august while lauren was just coming home from the hospital with our new baby boy. when we found out that erin+steve would be getting married in the same area, i was super excited to return and have lauren by my side for the adventure. speaking of “adventure” – pottstown is about a 3 hour drive from our home in linwood nj – but on this particular day, mother nature decided it would be fun to dump one of the heaviest snow storms of the season on our area. oh, the fun of driving in the snow before any of the snow blows get out to clear the roads. luckily for us i was driving my trusty toyota fj cruiser set in 4wheel drive and we had no problems making our way up to the wedding. although we did have to pull over to the side of the road several times to scrap the windows clear of all the ice build up. (; in the end it was all worth it to be part of erin+steve’s lovely wintery wedding day.

erin+steve, you guys were rockstars… we thought is was awesome how erin would just throw on her uggs with her wedding dress any time she ventured outside. steve was up for anything while having a permanent smile on his face…. thank you both for being so great. it was awesome to spend the day with you two (: congratulations, we wish you all the best.

we arrived to the lords & ladies salon in pottstown pa as erin was getting her hair all pretty before heading over to her parents house for the finishing touches with her bridesmaids.

below is a picture lauren shot as we drove to the church for the ceremony. our visibility wasn’t all that great. (:

best of 2009 | engagement

January 8, 2010 – 12:00 am

we love the one-on-one time we get with our wedding couples during their engagement shoots. we basically consider these shoots like a double date. the engagement sessions are always very fun and casual and we get to learn so much about our clients prior to their wedding day. it’s a win-win on all ends. below are some of our favorite pictures from our 2009 engagement photo sessions. enjoy.
