Loving these gorgeous photos of Scandia and Mike in Baltimore to celebrate their engagement! The perfect little white dress, a blush-and-gold confetti balloon and a stunning waterfront backdrop made for a memorable session downtown. Scandia and Mike changed into more casual clothing for a sweet picnic on top of Federal Hill with some gorgeous afternoon light. I am thrilled to be photographing their wedding next year in Philly! <3 Check them out for some serious engagement inspiration. 

Every wedding is filled with emotion, tears and laughter, but Theresa and Brendan's day will always hold a special place in my heart. These two are an incredible testimony to the power and strength of family and friends, and as their photographer, it was amazing to be a part of it all. Theresa and her ladies got ready at a family home, and shared champagne outdoors prior to leaving for the ceremony. Theresa and Brendan love spending time down the shore in warm weather, so bright turquoise and cheery yellow were chosen to set the tone for the evening. An emotional first look was followed by formal portraits and a ceremony overlooking the green. Brendan teared up when he watched Theresa walk down the aisle by her two brothers, and the two were pronounced husband and wife as the sun set behind them. I met Theresa through her cousins - you might recognize a few of them in the dancing photos :). Thanking Theresa and Brendan for welcoming me into their big day. Love you both, and many years of happiness! Special thanks to Alex Schon for second shooting and helping me dodge golf balls. 

When Angeline told me that her wedding to Jason would be a laid back beach affair at the Whitebrier, a popular restaurant in Avalon, I was thrilled to see it all come together. For this couple who met down the shore (The Princeton), decor would be a dose of modern meets rustic, with a beachy twist of course. Starfish, shell and driftwood accents were met with the romance of late Summer florals and greenery. Angeline's Nicole Miller gown was simple but perfect; her sisters wore mint gowns with a similiar neckline. My favorite moments were Angeline and her sisters sharing a snuggly moment with the family dogs, and bridal portraits on the beach of bride and groom. Even though Angeline and Jason's wedding day was stormy and wet, they both embraced the weather wholeheartedly for the sake of photos, and I love them for that. The newlyweds didn't want guests to feel tied down to the normal formalities of a traditional sit-down dinner, so they opted for a free range buffet, allowing guests to mingle throughout the evening. They shared a first dance surrounded by almost 200 people in the Whitebrier's Mermaid Bar and enjoyed an after party at where else, The Princeton. Congrats to the beautiful Angeline and Jason!! <3
