It’s not easy flying and going through TSA with photography gear but you do it for friends like Rui and Jeremy any day. They chose Casa Reta as a venue for their wedding ceremony and reception and it was a great one on their part. The food truck and karaoke were nice touches to the already super fun day we had with the couple. But I’ll stop the blabbering and let you enjoy a few favorites from their Florida wedding.
We couldn’t have asked for a more festive and colorful fall wedding to end the season then Gina and Patrick’s at Penn Oaks Golf Club in West Chester.
The day was filled with joy and laughter all throughout the getting ready and ceremony, and when we got back to their party, guess who tried to crash it? The one and only Phillie Phanatic! And yes, he did cover my camera with his generous nose at one point.
Oh, and there were fireworks. Check it!
Fall engagement photos are in high demand in October and November, and for good reason. Mother nature throws a lot of color at us during these months and most of our couples schedule their sessions to try and take advantage of it.
The Waterworks, as you might know already, is one of my favorite locations and poses a ton of opportunities for engagement or portrait photos.
This was one of the most anticipated weddings I had the pleasure of photographing this fall. And what a superb fall day it was at the picturesque Pen Ryn Estate!
First look is always an emotional moment before the ceremony

Thank you for all the help Ryan!
Race Street Pier Engagement photos are best served with a side of puffy clouds and blue dusk light over the Delaware River. Jessica and Jack made it a breeze and had fun all the way until the light abandoned us on the side of Ben Franklin Bridge. Shall we enjoy some?
What does one do on a chilly October morning you ask? Engagement photos of course!
We even had a special furry appearance for a few photos, in the shape of cute Luna, Chelsea and Gio’s doggie. And we had a great time perusing through Evansburg State Park.
This is another one of those “in the family couples”, and if their friend’s weddings that I photographed throughout the years, were an indicator of how high the party meter is gonna go, the bar is set very high!
Although we only agree on the color red when it comes to football (soccer for you american fans), we enjoyed fooling around Bellevue State Park in Wilmington for Katie and Keith’s engagement photos. This after the obligatory portraits with their sweet doggies, of course.
The three of us have a passion for a specific red football team in England by the name of Liverpool, but the true love resides between Selena and Connor, and it showed all throughout their engagement session and wedding. We captured their love story at the beautiful Aldie Mansion in Doylestown from getting ready to the ceremony and the reception, and it was a blast!
What better choice to have your engagement session
Since the short coffee Steven and I had before their wedding, I knew we connected so well and we’re gonna create some amazing memories together. Both Seven and Ashley were super easy to photograph and up for anything during their big day. After they got ready at Hotel DuPont we stopped by the stunning Gibraltar Gardens in Wilmington, De and had a blast photographing the whole bridal party.
Hotel DuPont was our final destination and was
Ever since meeting Michael and Sabina last year, it was clear the big day will be insanely awesome. And if my use of superlatives and adjectives is not enough of an indication of the wedding day, the photos definitely
Special thanks to everyone that made this beautiful event come true:

Believe it or not, this was the first engagement session I photographed at the famous Elfreth’s Alley, and it was with just the right couple! Matthew is a history teacher and gave me a few lessons here and there about the historic 1702 cobblestone street. And since they wanted to capture the essence of Philadelphia we headed over to City Hall for more photos and why not, champagne! 🙂
Despite the iffy nature of the weather these days, Gina and Patrick braved it and the three of us fooled around the gorgeous campus at
Ever since I met Jackie and Chris I knew they have that strong connection and genuineness that not many couples have. Last year we had a bunch of fun at Longwood Gardens for their engagement session along with their furry baby Gus. And of course, he made an appearance at the wedding as well.
I gotta be honest, I was kinda craving some rain on a wedding day so I can fool around with an umbrella and magic lights, and Jackie and Chris were such troopers.
When it comes to their choice of venue, I don’t think they could’ve done it better. Valley Forge Casino was beautifully decorated and
Every time I return to Valley Forge for an engagement session I am reminded of the unlimited photographic opportunities this place offers. And on a Monday morning, we had the whole park to ourselves. Yay for not having any extra photoshop work cloning people out of photos. 🙂
Lisa and Jimmy chose to say their vows at the West Chester Courthouse on a gorgeous Spring day. Enjoy my favorites of the day.
Be it a frigid winter morning or a warm summer evening, the area behind the Art Museum of Philadelphia, known to all as the Waterworks, never disappoints. Being a history buff, Connor chose to start their engagement session adventures on a famous little Philly street by the name of Quince st. After fooling around on the cute cobblestone street filled with roses and greenery, we did what all the cool kids do these days, uber to the Waterworks for a beautiful sunset.

The archnemesis or any photographer, mother nature, blessed us with a chilly and windy day for Ankan and Tarana’s wedding at World’s Fair Marina in New York. But they were brave enough to venture around and we created some great photos. It helped that we are friends and friends don’t let friends end up with bad photos. 🙂
I absolutely loved both Indian wedding outfits that the lovebirds wore for their reception party. Enjoy a few of my favorites.
Tarana wore a gorgeous Lehenga red traditional Indian dress while Ankan changed into a cream Sherwani.
They performed a beautiful synchronized dance for everyone.
If you came for the Star Wars references, you will be sorely disappointed. But stay for the photos maybe? ^_^
I always wondered how colorful Material Culture is inside and since Leda and Bill chose to have their wedding reception there, I experienced the venue beautifully decorated and drenched in color. But it was not the venue that made this day unforgettable, but these two sweet, sweet people.
First things first, we captured the reveal on a cute street next to Headhouse Square. And of course, mother nature being as iffy as it is these days pushed us inside where the ceremony and party unfolded. And boy was it a party!

All kidding aside, as soon as I met Samantha and Nate, I knew they were a perfect match for each other. After having a great time at their beach engagement session at Point Pleasant in New Jersey, this past weekend we got to the serious stuff, such as their vows, sword battles and other regular wedding traditions. (as seen in Lord of the Rings)
Both of them were all smiles throughout the day, lots of happy tears were shed, and the party at Versailles Ballroom at the Ramada Inn was off the hook. What more can you ask for when it comes to your wedding? 🙂
Yes, that’s a custom flower bouquet made with the pages of a book. 
Everyone wants in on the action. 🙂
