These two love birds are after my own heart! I always ask my clients to try to think of something either special or unique for their engagement shoots and these guys really delivered. They live very close to the Phoenixville Foundry so it made sense to use the beautiful grounds for their engagement photos. Can’t wait for the big day guys!
A beautiful day at Girard Park in Philadelphia with Kevin and Gina for their engagement photos.
It was a day filled with laughter and this Wayne Art Center wedding
made it a special one for them with the beautiful art all around and the great atmosphere surrounding the place. Sarah and Soroush are one of the sweetest couples I photographed so far. And we even had a special guest appearance by the fire department due to a smoke alarm going off, see photos below. 🙂
The windy, rainy day didn’t keep Jen and Tim away from enjoying the beautiful grounds of the Love park in Philadelphia. You already know I’m a man of a few words and many photographs so enjoy!
We had a wonderful day for Randy and Erin’s wedding at the beautiful historic Duportail House. From the long history of the house and decorations to the super fun Irish band and dancers we had a blast! Enjoy the photos!
I’m pretty sure Frankie and Josette got married in the best day of October! They decided to have creatives taken in Rittenhouse Square despite the crowds of people roaming the grounds on such a beautiful day. Then we moved on to the party at Stotesbury Mansion across the street. And it was a blast!
A few words from the Venue’s history, I quote:
“Registered by the Rittenhouse Square Historic District, the Stotesbury Mansion is a historic landmark perfect for hosting your upcoming special event!
Originally a townhouse built in 1897 by architects Cope and Stewardson, the site has been renovated numerous times by a famous English designer, Lord Joseph Duveen, to accommodate and impress the Philadelphia Elite Stotesbury Family’s guests.
Some of the beautiful additions from the initial renovation include a marble entryway, Dolly Madison’s fireplace purchased from the White House, and the fifth floor squash courts. After a second renovation in 1914, the Stotesburys constructed a grand ballroom for .5 million dollars to entertain their affluent guests. They imported a Georgian ballroom that was in the Lord’s manor in England. It took 500 craftsmen over a year to reassemble the ballroom in the townhouse. They imported the crystal Louis XV period chandeliers, the 14th Century Italian marble fireplace, the gold ceiling panels, the Beauvais tapestry that represented abundance hung from the Italian fireplace, and the marble Corinthian columns. The designer’s innovative ideas led to installing an organ and orchestra area also known as the “fiddler’s booth” above the two entrance doors to the ballroom for their private entertainment pleasures. At the entrance to the ballroom, a fountain splashed softly and one could pause for a moment on the small granite benches to enjoy the effect.”
