Philadelphia Mainline Wedding of Catherine + David – 06.11.11

I’ve been photographing weddings for over 12 years now and this was the very first time I photographed a wedding on my birthday. I’ve always wanted to do a “birthday wedding” and I finally got one. Catherine prepared fr her day at her family home in Gladwyne, PA. She wore one of my all time favorite feminine Monique Lhuillier gowns with the keyhole back! She was just stunning in it. Makeup artist Béke  Beau and hairstylist Amanda D’Andrea were on hand to have all the women looking gorgeous. We did a few portraits in her backyard before departing on a trolly to her ceremony at Saint John Vianney Church in Gladwyne. Check out this beautiful bouquets and boutineers by the fabulous Nancy Saam. Check back for most charming reception.undefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefined

Lavender + Bees = Honey

I took a little trip back to Carousel Farm near New Hope, Pa to see all the beautiful Lavender in full bloom. I wanted to share this amazing farm with my grandson, Zac and my daughter-in-law, Jill.  On Wednesdays they offer a wonderful tour of the farm where you can see the bees busy at work, artists in the fields painting, llamas and goats grazing and how lavender water is made. It was such a relaxing day to spend a summer afternoon. We went home with some lavender plants, lavender honey and very delicious lemon-lavender cookies! undefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefined
