Michelle & Brian

Posted on August 7, 2008

A few weeks ago I got together with Michelle & Brian to shoot their engagement session. We had originally planned on shooting in Ocean City, NJ, but impending thunderstorms made Michelle and Brian decide to postpone the session and do it a little closer to home. So on July 25, we headed out to Longwood Gardens…





I must give the credit to Brian for suggesting the location for this shot.



Seems to have been some shadow puppetry going on…







Thanks Michelle & Brian! Can’t wait for your wedding on the 22nd!

7.19.08 - Morgan & Brian

Posted on August 5, 2008

I don’t know why this happens to me, but I have very cool clients… I get more than my share of people and families who I really enjoy being with on the day of the wedding. And every so often, brides/grooms/families/wedding parties/etc. will just go out of their way, all day, to make me feel at home and let me know they’re glad I’m there. These are the times I come away thinking, “Wow!” Morgan and Brian’s wedding was like that.

They were married at Hershey Evangelical Free Church, and we had a great time shooting at some locations in Hershey. Morgan and Brian knew that time was going to be in short supply on their wedding day, so they opted to see each other before the ceremony. For this, they each get gold stars and my eternal gratitude. :)

Here’s a few shots from the first time they saw each other that day. Brian was just a tad excited to see his bride.



Spending a few moments in prayer… what a great way to start off one of the most important days of their lives!





Radiant.









And when Brian saw this:



His reaction was this:



Morgan’s dad, a minister, performed the wedding.



Off into the sunset… love the sign!



Thanks as well to Kelli Cohee, who took over 2nd shooting duties!

Posted on August 4, 2008

Mike & Jennifer are such a cool couple, and totally into each other. They were married on July 12 at the Springhaven Club in Wallingford, PA, and were blessed with an amazing day.

I’m just going to get straight to the photos on this one.
