Janine and Nelson were married on a rainy Friday at Knowlton Mansion. Even though the weather did not cooperate for an outdoor ceremony and formal session, inside you would have never know it was raining. Janine is a commercial client of mine from Living Beyond Breast Cancer and I was honored when she asked me to photographer her very special wedding day. It was fun getting to know her outside of our work lives and to meet Nelson, the guys who stole her heart!
The butterfly clasp on Janine’s bracelet was just beautiful. Nelson, in keeping with the butterfly theme, gave Janine a butterfly necklace after the ceremony as a wedding gift.
Janine and Nelson had the very good taste to have their flowers done by Robertson’s Florist, the same florist I used for my wedding.
Nelson chose to have grooms women instead of men. I am sure there are many jealous guys out there who wish their grooms men were as good looking as Nelson’s grooms women!
I must admit, when I saw Janine holding back the tears as she was walking down the aisle, I had a hard time keeping my tears in as well.
Janine and Nelson, I wish you a very long and happy married life. Thank you for asking me to be your photographer!

Kendra and Sean were married at Laurita Winery in New Egypt, New Jersey during hurricane Irene. Right before the decision was made to cut the reception short, Kendra and Sean agreed to go down to the wine cellar for a few photos. They turned out to be some of my favorites from the wedding. My second photographer and I were lucky enough to get the last room in a hotel down the road because driving had become too bad. Conroy Catering and Synergetic Sounds weren’t able to get out so they spent the night at Laurita.
I am sure Sean and Kendra were nervous as they looked out the window before seeing each other for the fist time. Both about the first look and the weather!
Once again I had the pleasure of shooting a wedding as an associate for my friend and fellow photographer Heather Fowler because she was expecting the birth of her first baby. I think we have a very special community of photographers in the Philadelphia area who can be there for each other when something arises like having a baby when you are booked to shoot a wedding! I also think that our clients benefit from the relationships we have with our peers, and the willingness to come together for each other when the unexpected may happen. I am happy to say that Jesse was born on September 2nd! Here are some beautiful images I made at Sarah and Paul’s Audubon wedding. To see more from the wedding please visit Heather Fowler’s blog.
I spent Saturday with Kendra and Sean and Irene, at Laurita Winery in New Egypt, New Jersey! As the wind and rain from the hurricane were whipping up, Kendra and Sean said their vows inside the cozy winery. Although they had to cut the reception short by a few hours, we were able get through all the formalities before making our way back as far as the hotel in Hamilton NJ. Our friends at Conroy Catering and Synergetic Sounds weren’t able to get out so they spent the night at Laurita. In my opinion, if you can’t get to a hotel in a hurricane, the next best place to be is a winery!! Here are a few images. More will follow in a full post.
