Summer at Winterthur

February 27, 2010 On the side...

With yet another snow storm in the northeast, I thought I’d dig up some beautiful summer imagery to remind everyone that summer will eventually return. Winterthur Museum & Country Estate is located in Winterthur, DE and is a most magical location for a wedding. Last summer I did an amazing editorial shoot with Beautiful Blooms. Some of you may remember the beautiful fashion images from this shoot that I shared with everyone. This stunning bar at the reflecting pool at Winterthur was nothing short of amazing and I hope it is a source of inspiration. My next wedding is not until April so I hope to share with everyone some inspiring ideas that I don’t often have time to share throughout my busy wedding season.

Floral Feature in B Wedding Magazine

February 25, 2010 As seen in...

What a treat it was to arrive back from my 3 weeks in Key West and find a most beautiful publication waiting for me in the mail. What a gorgeous publication all the way from Ireland, B Wedding Magazine. The quality of this magazine was over the top beautiful. Their editor had asked to use some of my images for a feature story awhile back, but I must say I was astounded by how artistically they incorporated the images in their story. I adore how they used the poetic quotes. These innovative centerpieces were brought to life by florist Beautiful Blooms. The centerpieces were actually from a Bat Mitzvah with the theme of Cities of the world, but you can see how well they can translate to a wedding. I was so impressed with this beautiful publication. I might just have to go to Ireland and do my first European wedding.

Somewhere That’s Green

February 19, 2010 My So-Called Life, Travel

It’s been a long and snowy winter in the northeast and I’ve been lucky enough to have a little hiatus down in warm and sunny Key West. I try to sneak away for several weeks every winter, just to be reassured that it’s green somewhere! This year I was exceptionally fortunate as I left town the day before the first blizzard! Good karma for shooting that blizzard wedding I guess! Key West is my favorite locations to “recharge”. So laid back, where else can you dine at a 5 star restaurant in flip flops! I’m on my way home soon and so renewed for a most exciting 2010 season.

Valentines Day at Innove

Happy Valentines Day! Some of you may remember Beka Rendell of the beautiful Beka and Jesse wedding and the national feature of her wedding in Brides Magazine. Well, as some of you know, Beka is also a most talented event planner in Philadelphia. Her company, Styled Creative had some exciting changes this year and I went by to visit her. Styled Creative has moved it’s offices to Old City Philadelphia and has joined forces with the talented Kimberly Fink who has been in the event industry for over 10 years. What a hot team these two are making! They styled a little Valentines day shoot when I visited and WOW was it cute. So cute in fact that it was featured on the front page of the amazing wedding blog Style Me Pretty. Can’t wait to see the amazing things they have in store for me to photograph in the coming year. Check out their most adorable feature on Style me Pretty and Happy Valentines Day to everyone!

Eve + Richard 01.23.10

February 12, 2010 Weddings

Eve and Richards ceremony was filled with love and emotion. As you can see they even stole a smooch during the ketubah signing and Richard shed a tear (I love a sensitive man). Though Bianca did attend the ketubah signing, she did not a sign. A special kudos to my second photographer Jill, who took really amazing images of their ceremony from the balcony of Trust. Music was provided by Elan artists. The strolling electric violinist was just amazing. The pair just danced the night away with their guests!
