Harry & Sara get married!

We were all a little worried about Saturday’s weather forecast.  The chance of rain and thunderstorms was at 80%.  I was really hoping the forecast would be off enough to allow them to have their ceremony outside.  Trump National offers a gorgeous outdoor ceremony spot. Luckily, the rain held off for the majority of the day!  It’s amazing how things always have a way of working out :)

Below are some of our favorite images from Harry and Sara’s wedding!

I love this first image.  You can see the Philly skyline from the venue.   On a sunny day you can see it clearly.  On a rainy-ish day, it’s a foggy view.  I love the foggy view!

I loved the colors that they chose for their wedding day.  I don’t think you could ever go wrong with peach :)

Probably my most favorite outdoor ceremony location, ever.  It’s really beautiful!

I loved these girls.  Thank you for being so awesome to work with!  I said give me flirty and although it took a few tries, haha,  I’d say you girls can pull off a good flirty ;0)

This is the first wedding we’ve shot that did lanterns.  I love this idea.  It can be a little tricky, but so worth the trickery. ;)

Don’t Text and Drive

Last month, we got to shoot something completely different than we are used to.  We shot some creative commercial portraits for Works Design Group.  We did something different with each person.  Something that describes them or their personalities.  We love this crew.  They were loads of fun to spend the day with.   Michael was 20(ish) feet up in the air attached to a harness.  Each of the team members collaborated a creative shot using props and the cement floor below.  We shot looking down at them as if creating a real life portrait.   You can imagine, we got some pretty interesting stuff!  :)

 

 

One thing we learned is that you shouldn’t text and drive…whether that be a car, a boat, or a bicycle .  The outcome could be devastating in every situation.

Two shots of Chris’s portraits.

Nick and Gabbi

Wedding season is in full swing, you’ll be hearing from us more often :) We’ll be blogging some of our favorite wedding images. We’ll also be doing more informational posts too this year :) Some tips and tricks for brides to be, anything that can help a bride and groom on their big day. We’ll be posting more DIY projects, more personal projects, and last but not least, some encouraging blog posts.   Sometimes, you just need a little ass kicking to start your day!  And yes, I can say that on here, because it’s our blog ;0)

It’s Friday, I just finished having breakfast with our little ladies and I can’t help but feel completely grateful. Grateful for the little things, grateful for where life has led us and where we will go from here, and grateful for the people in it.  Being wedding photographers, we meet some really amazing people.  Two of those people are Nick and Gabbi.  This couple is so down to earth, unbelievably funny, and a complete joy to be around.

Another thing I love about them is they are one of our high school sweetheart couples.  They’ve been together for 11 years.  To me, that is a big deal!  Could you imagine meeting the love of your life, your soul mate in 9th grade?!  That is so rare!

Enjoy some of our favorites :)

HAPPY FRIDAY!

Melissa.

A little record of some wedding crashing.  This lady was a wedding crasher, but her nonchalant demeanor, had me giggling.
