Philadelphia Engagement Photography | Elizabeth & Brian's Art Museum Engagement

*Posted by Matt*

It may have been one of the dreariest days last Fall but that didn't seem to matter to Elizabeth and Brian! The sky was overcast and rain seemed impossible to avoid when we met up for engagement photos behind the Art Museum. They just took it in stride and made the best of it all!

We hit the normal spots — the azalea garden, the art museum steps, etc. — then we ended with a few engagement portraits along Fairmount Avenue. We even did a few engagement pictures in London Grill, one of their favorite places in the neighborhood.

These two really are super fun and we get to photograph them again this weekend for the wedding!

Philadelphia Engagement Photography | Jenny & Matteo's Boston Engagement

*Posted by Matt*

Jenny contacted us a while back about her wedding and, like always we were super excited to work with her. But that was hardly our first time meeting! Jenny was a bridesmaid in not just one, but two of our weddings over the last few years.

We met up with her and her fiance, Matteo, in Boston last September for their engagement portraits. They were just so happy around each other and so comfortable with each other. It was truly refreshing.

Fast forward to today and we get to see these two connected souls finally tie the knot.

Congrats Jenny and Matteo!

Philadelphia Wedding Photography | Marie & Edwin's Stoltzfus Homestead Wedding

Marie and Edwin could not have picked a better day for their Lancaster wedding at Stoltzfus Homestead. Not only was the day fantastic, but their venue was a perfect setting!

Both Marie and Edwin got ready at Stoltzfus with their respective bridal parties, while we took special precautions to make sure the two groups did not sneak any peeks at the other while out taking portraits!

Marie's beautiful lace wedding dress looked perfect next to her pink lace bridesmaids' dresses. Marie wore her "something blue" high heels, while her bridesmaids  wore cowboy boots. Edwin and his groomsmen added their own touch of personality to their grey tuxes with superhero socks!

The two said their "I do's" during a traditional Catholic ceremony at St. Joseph's Church in Lancaster, PA.

After heading back to the reception at Stoltzfus Homestead as official newlyweds, the two kicked off the evening with some lawn games and appetizers outside, before asking their guests to head into the barn for the party to start!

Their reception was one of the most fun we have been to! Their families and friends held nothing back on the dance floor of the Stoltzfus Grand Barn, and made for some great photos.

The newlyweds also had an assortment of cupcakes as a dessert for their guests, and s'mores kits outside by the fire pit.

When the night was just about done, Marie and Edwin made a sparkler exit using heart-shaped sparklers! They definitely know how to make an exit!

Congratulations, Marie and Edwin!

Philadelphia Wedding Photography | Jon & Elena's Lehigh Valley Wedding

Elena and Jon's wedding at Blue in Bethlehem was our kickoff wedding for the 2015 season, and they certainly set the bar high!

Natalie met Elena and her bridesmaids at Elena's parent's home while they were getting ready. Elena looked stunning in her strapless beaded wedding gown, while her eight bridesmaids wore beautiful floor-length green bridesmaids dresses in varying styles.

Once the girls were all dolled up,  they ventured out to get some great photos outside, despite the snow that had fallen just two days before!

Matt met up with the guys while they were getting ready, and eventually both groups met up for a first look at Blue in Bethlehem! Jon was undoubtedly blown away when he first saw his bride-to-be!

Elena, Jon and their whole bridal party braved the cold for some portraits around Blue before the ceremony, and then headed inside to get married.

The ceremony was beautiful, with the center aisle lined in white rose petals, and many were moved to tears as the bride and groom said their vows.

Elena and Jon definitely knew how to throw a party, as was evident during their reception! They kept the spring green theme running throughout the reception, and even had green and white wedding cupcakes in place of a traditional wedding cake!

Congratulations, Elena and Jon!

New York City Wedding Photography | Pam & Nick's Engagement

* Posted By Theresa *

Pam and Nick's engagement session took us all over New York City. No, really, ALL OVER New York City. We've done a handful of New York City engagement sessions but none quite like this one. This hilarious duo is getting married this weekend and they planned on using their photos as table numbers so, with that in mind, they wanted to stop by as many landmarks as we could in one day!

We started the day at their apartment and traveled to many recognizable places throughout the city. We did a few engagement pictures in Central Park, a picture in Times Square, a picture in Grand Central Station and even a few engagement pictures on Broadway, among plenty other places!

It was one of the most fun days we have had in New York, and the couple kept us laughing the whole time. Some of our favorite photos from the day were Pam and Nick pretending to fall into the Bethesda Fountain, and the two jumping in front of some Broadway show billboards. (Check out the air Pam got while wearing heels!)

One of the last stops of the day was to BXL, the bar where Pam and Nick got engaged! The owner knew the two well and brought us some champagne to celebrate!

Needless to say, we can't wait for their wedding!
