Not photographing my couples for three months was definitely not the easiest thing during these crazy times of the pandemic. But with the easing of restrictions in Philadelphia we managed to start again with small sessions like engagements and boy does it feel good to have some kind of normalcy back. Enjoy a few of my favorites from their Race Street Pier Engagement!
It was a given ever since I met Valerie and David that their wedding at Collingswood Grand Ballroom is gonna rock! They are such sweet, genuine peeps and it showed on their big day. I loved everything from everyone’s colorful outfits and flower bouquets all the way to the board games and the amazing West Philadelphia Orchestra. (Balkan Brass band in Philadelphia)
Oh yea, and we beat this darn COVID19 virus by a week or two. #winwin
You just have to play this song in the background while you scroll through the photos. 🙂
I seem to photograph more and more Winter weddings lately. And if you are to have a Winter wedding in Philadelphia, Valley Green Inn is one of the best places to host it at. It offers a secluded venue along the Fairmount Park trails, with beautiful river views and icicle walls, if you’re lucky. You can also break out the marshmallows by the fire if that’s what floats your boat. 🙂
Photographing in the subway(metro for you Europeans) a first for me, but I had a ton of fun with Simona and Chris. We rode the Pattison line to Dilworth Park and then Love Park for a few shots with the famous sign. Can’t wait for their 10.10.2020 wedding! The easiest wedding date to remember. 🙂
From Simona: “The date 10/10/20 is a big deal for us! It’s the 10th day of the 10th month and 10+10=20! 10 has been a nickname for Chris growing up. During our time of dating, he always referred to me as being “perfect” and later develop Perfect 10 Fitness, his personal training business. So I guess you can say it’s his number I adopted it lol.”
By now I’m sure you recognize Penn Oaks Golf Club from all the blog posts I wrote. 🙂
Dominique and Marcelino’s wedding was my first 2020 event and we made it an unforgettable one! A foggy day is the enemy of iPhone photos, as one guest begrudgingly mentioned it, but for me equals mysterious and romantic photos, and their day was no different. We had a blast from morning portraits until their reception party!
What better place to photograph your engagement session than the famous Philadelphia Addison street?! Janelle and Greg were such troopers on a fairly chilly December day.
