Lucien’s Manor wedding of Christina and Ruslan

Are you ready to dive deep with me into our Puertorican Armenian fusion wedding at Lucien’s Manor in Berlin, NJ? Ok, hope your seatbelts are strapped in tight because otherwise, Ruslan might not take kindly to you. 🙂

I have met Christina at her sister Jessie’s wedding at City Hall in Philly a few years back and thanks to Jessie I ended up photographing this awesome wedding as well. Let me show you what I’m rambling about.

Jackie, Chris and their doggie Gus fool around Longwood Gardens

No, unfortunately, we couldn’t take the little guy inside the gardens but we had a bit of fun right outside its gates. In Jackie’s words “we’re both pretty big goofballs that haven’t grown up” and “we also got engaged at Longwood Gardens”. I can safely say that was true because we had a bunch of fun inside, including mocking a wooden dinosaur – oh yea we went there.

At one point Chris got “pushed” in the lily pond to re-enact a childhood mishap Jackie was telling me about.

Roton Point Association destination wedding in Stamford, CT

My first time photographing a destination wedding in Stamford did not disappoint. Zahya and Joel made us feel welcomed and more importantly trusted us with their portraits by the rocky seashore. But you know already that I speak better in pixels than words so I will let you enjoy them colorful marvels. #dontstopbeallieving

Chester Valley Golf Club wedding | Courtney & Mark

This guy is one happy wedding photographer after partaking in this wonderful Chester Valley Golf Club wedding hosted by Mark and Courtney. A few years back I photographed Courtney’s sister wedding and their wedding set some high standards for this one. Well, I can tell you it was a true cake smashing – table dancing (looking at you Mark) – garter bitting – drinks a flowing – helluva wedding party! Don’t believe the hype? I was there taking tons of photos ↓

Penn Oaks summer wedding | Lauren & Mike

From the moment I met with Lauren and Mike, I knew I wanted to be their photographer for their lovely Penn Oaks summer wedding.

Well it happened, and after having a great engagement session I couldn’t wait for their big day to arrive.

First we fooled around with the guys getting done up, then we had some fun with Lauren and the girls while they were getting ready. After capturing their beautiful church ceremony we came back to the golf club to play a bit with the awesome bridal party, and create a few portraits of our bride and groom.

Later the guys from Jsvevents entertained us with their wicked tunes and the party was ON!

Hotel Monaco Philadelphia Wedding | Yinan and Stephen

Yinan and Stephen hosted a beautiful and modern Hotel Monaco Philadelphia wedding, complimented by a traditional Chinese custom of tea ceremony. After their getting ready in the hotel, we sneaked onto the roof for the first look or as some of you might know it, reveal. When it was time for their portraits, we roamed around the Second Bank of Philadelphia which is a fine example of Greek Revival architecture. These marvels of architecture always make for the best environments and backgrounds for photos, and they represent perfectly that Philadelphian city charm.

Later we were back at the elegant Hotel Monaco (a Kimpton property) where Yinan and Stephen had their ceremony and reception party.

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the awesome team that brought all this together. The girls were thankful for their beautiful makeup done by Monica. The amazing Anthony of Be Films made sure nothing will be missed from their story later on. Floral arrangements were brought to you by Carl Alan. And of course, the party wouldn’t have been as much fun if it weren’t for the talented musicians from Philadelphia String Quartet.

Thank you for letting me be part of your special day Yinan and Stephen!
