ABINGTON FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY

By | Family | No Comments

Moms and Dads and whoever is out there reading this, I want to let you know that you don’t need the most picturesque park with the perfect barn or weathered fencing to have gorgeous family photos. All you need is your family and something you love. This adorable foursome is serious about baseball so when they said they wanted family photos to celebrate their 3 and 1 year olds at a baseball diamond in Abington, I was definitely on board! After playing a little bit of t-ball we did what happens in every family session which is take a walk and play! We walked on bleachers, ran the bases, played in the grass and had a great time. While there may be plenty of Abington family photography sessions, I’m sure there aren’t too many quite like this, and the same goes for this kind and caring family of four!

FALL WEDDING AT READING TERMINAL MARKET

By | Weddings | No Comments

There are so many reasons to love this job and two of them are Alisha and Rick. I can’t say enough good things about them. From our first meeting together to discuss their fall wedding at Reading Terminal Market, to our correspondence before the wedding and then on the actual day, they were awesome to work with and a joy to be around. In the morning I met Alisha and her family at her home while she got ready for the big day. I loved chatting with her dad while photographing details and feeling like a member of the family! Rick and Alisha chose to do their first look and some portraits at their home, which is also where Rick grew up. They also signed their marriage certificate at the same dining room table that was a part of Rick’s childhood home. It was important to the happy couple that their home was used in their photos before heading into the city for their wedding.

After arriving in the city we took cover from a little bit of rain and took several family photos at the Courtyard Marriott and City Hall. Afterwards our Bride and Groom and her newly engaged sister and soon-to-be-brother-in-law walked to Love Park for a few more portraits. After waiting in traffic caused by the naked bike race we finally were able to finish up our bride and groom portraits in Rittenhouse Square. Finally it was time for the ceremony with Rick served as the officiant which made it that much more special. The bride’s sister Nicole said a few words before announcing Rick and Alisha as husband and wife!

Reading Terminal weddings always vary between couples and I love seeing how mine use the space as a blank canvas to create exactly what they want. Alisha and Rick chose classic white linens, gold chiavari chairs, and simple greenery with white candles as their decor which pairs amazingly well with the industrial vibe of the market. The new Mr. and Mrs. started the party with their first dance to Sea of Love by Cat Power and then ultimately broke into a high-paced choreographed dance to Now That We Found Love by Heavy D, which will go down as my favorite first dance ever! The rest of the night was full of laughter, dancing, amazing food and drinks, and a great celebration of our newlyweds.

Congratulations Rick & Alisha!!

ATLANTIC CITY WEDDING

By | Weddings | No Comments

This job as a wedding photographer is pretty incredible but it does have moments where you feel like a complete failure. It’s difficult to meet couples that end up booking with other photographers but you have to keep reminding yourself that the couples you are meant to work with are out there. I had a previous inquiry for Nichole and Kyle’s wedding date that didn’t work out and I’m so glad that I ended having this day open! It just so happens to be the same day as my own wedding anniversary. Nichole and Kyle’s Atlantic City wedding was just fantastic. The intimate brunch reception followed a short and sweet ceremony where the couple said “I do” in front of close friends, family, and most importantly, their daughters.

Everyone had a blast dancing away the afternoon and enjoying amazing food provided by Carmine’s at the Tropicana. After the reception was over we strolled over to the Atlantic City boardwalk, taking photos of the bridal party and ending the day with photos of the new Mr. and Mrs. Messina!

Congratulations to the happy couple and their families and thank you for having me as a part of your day!
