It’s always great to catch up with people and see where life has taken them. I filmed Laura and Phillip’s wedding almost 10 years ago— one of my first weddings when I was branching out to start my own company. So of course, I was beyond excited when Laura asked me about taking some portraits in the snow to document this special time in their lives. As much as Laura was supposed to be the main focus of this shoot, their dog Emma might have stolen the show 🥹

When life gives you lemons—but they’re actually your favorite and part of the tablescapes—and the rain plan turns out even better than the original! 🍋🌧️✨

As your photographer, I’m always ready to pivot and make the most of any situation. Whether it’s scouting stunning alternative locations, having umbrellas ready for those dreamy rain-kissed shots, or embracing the unexpected , I’ve got you covered (literally and figuratively). Rain or shine, your photos will beautifully tell the story of your day.

Pulled a few spreads from S+A’s album to share. It’s always amazing how, even in the busiest city, two people can exist in their own little world✨

Laura and Brian had on the sweetest ceremonies I’ve gotten to witness. There were laughs, there were tears, there were beers, and lots love for these two!

“Kiss me under the Butt-man at Lorraine Bar” Legend has it, it’s the most romantic spot in all of Philadelphia.

In all seriousness, getting to photograph Jabriya and Nic’s wedding was so much fun and so special. Their celebration was very much in line with their personalities and interests. Guests were encouraged to draw on the tables, gifted sticky hands and ring pops, and J made all the origami flowers.

Fun fact: Nic and I were coworkers for several years at Lorraine slinging Hammbos™️
