Rodin Museum Wedding Portraits of Kristen + Ben

Weddings

After a quick portrait stop at the Second Bank in Old City we moved on to The Rodin Museum. Capturing all the beauty of an Autumn wedding, we were so fortunate to have Dave Williams of Cinemacake Filmmakers on hand. The BEST human leaf blower in Philadelphia! A really cute idea was the blackboards for Kristen’s bridesmaids. They were able to write down where they first met Kristen!

Weddings

My final wedding of 2014 is a very good way to start my 2015 blog posts! It’s been awhile since I’ve photographed a wedding at the Philadelphia Ritz-Carlton and I was definitely looking forward to it. Ben and Kristen prepared in their suites in the Ritz before meeting on the balcony for their “first look”.

A Very Merry Christmas Styled Wedding Shoot!

Editorial, Weddings

What an amazing holiday gift this was, a most amazing styled holiday shoot with some of my favorite creative and talented friends of Philadelphia! Dave Williams of Cinema Cake Filmmakers offered the use of his fabulous daylight studio at his offices in King of Prussia! I think every photographer is going to be clamoring for use of this space (shhhhh, it a secret). Donna O’Brien and her talented staff at Beautiful Blooms did the most stunning holiday  bouquets and hair pieces. We have done such wonderful work together in the past and it really felt like home working with her again. Kathy Bado was on hand with her  Berta Bridal gowns from her salon The Wedding Factor . Were these not the most festive and sensual gowns?  LOVE! Thank you so much Kathy. Making our   Reinhard models so perfectly stunning was makeup artist Beke Beau  and hairstylists from Architeqt Salon. Rounding out the team was wardrobe stylist Kye Williams. I don’t think anyone can fit a gown like her! A beautiful styled shoot like this is truly a gift. Thanks to everyone involved, I hope this inspires our brides for 2015. Happy Holidays to all!Florals:  Beautiful Blooms
