Cescaphe Ballroom Philadelphia Wedding

I truly love what I do. Getting to know my clients on a personal level always helps me to connect with them and create those images that I know capture their personalities and love.

I can say that my relationship with Brittany, Tim and their families have taken getting to know someone to a whole other level. Yes their wedding was beautiful and the details were perfectly executed, but that’s not what stood out to me about this wedding. It was the couple.

Brittany’s generosity, kind love and hysterical text messages started immediately the first time we spoke. I answered my phone, while I was at the grocery store, and Brittany and I discussed her wedding plans for over an hour. Brittany said she talked with and researched over 20 photographers, but knew she wanted to use me for her wedding. Later that week I met with her Mom, Dad, sisters and fiancÃ©, Tim, at my studio and we all had such a blast together. That is when I knew how important family was to this couple! Brittany happened to book me while I was on my way to the hospital to deliver my baby girl. She was so sweet and dropped flowers off to me that same day. Over the months leading up to the wedding we would randomly chat, iMessage each other and Britney’s fun personality always made me laugh with remarks like theseâ€¦

Brittany’s style and taste (man does she have taste) really shown through on the day she married Tim. Tim and Brittany’s love for each other really stood out at their first-look. So much so that the image of them seeing each other for the first time was featured online, in Philadelphia Wedding Magazine. She worked with Ceschaphe’s culinary Artist to create her stunning wedding cake and I had time to talk to her grandfather to see where she really gets her sense of humor. I can honestly say that I never heard comments like that at a wedding before. At the end of the night, when everyone was saying good night, We were not quite ready to leave, so Tony and I set up candles down the street in front of a graffiti covered abandoned lot and created some really unique images. Then, just like it started, the night came to an end with about 15 minutes of hugging and talking with family before leaving. I am so grateful to Brittany, Tim and their family for allowing Tony and I to feel so included and to capture such precious moments. I know this is only the beginning and I will be photographing the next generation of moments, love and friendship.
