Jen and I met playing tennis for the University of Delaware.  She is my very best friend from college and one of the few people I've kept in touch with since.  She always helped to keep things exciting on our tennis trips and we helped each other get into a little bit of trouble on a few different occasions (spring break in FL, my 21st birthday, School Lane, etc. :)  I have so many fond memories of our time together, Jen.  You often express how thankful you are for my friendship and how you think I must get tired of hearing about all the happenings of your life, because let's face it, you love to chat!  The truth is, you have ALWAYS been there for me and always let me know how important our friendship is to you and honestly, it makes me feel important when you call just to fill me in.  Your friendship is so important to me, you have been a true and loyal friend and for that I am so very grateful!  I hope you know how much I appreciate and love you and how excited I am that you've made Pennsylvania your home.  I remember thinking about how disappointed I would be when you moved back to Rhode Island after college.  Having you in PA wasn't something I had considered until you started working in Philadelphia.  I know you will be a lifelong friend and I am so happy to have had the opportunity to capture a few moments for you one of the most special days of your life.  It is so evident how happy Mike makes you and your joy was apparent on your wedding day.  Everything was perfect and I hope that perfection continues in the days ahead.  You guys are off to a great start and I look forward to many shared experiences in the future.  XO

(While Jen hired a photographer, these are a few shots I couldn't resist taking.  I was a bridesmaid in the wedding but it was hard to put down my camera when such an important person was getting married!)

Jen was absolutely stunning and I think she took Mike's breath away when he saw her for the first time that day.  His feeling is just palpable in the fourth photo, so sweet.  You're a lucky man, Mike :)

Marissa and Geoff were married last month on a rainy Saturday afternoon at Rivercrest Golf Club.  I had met them at Longwood Gardens for their engagement session and I noticed that they had a sweet, quiet and natural relationship.  Things seemed easy between them.  They were the type that I could imagine never getting into an argument.  Not surprisingly, the wedding day went off without a hitch.  The rain didn't seem to get them down and picture-wise, I was saved by the clear umbrella.  I always encourage my couples to get some outdoor shots, even in less than perfect weather.  The light is so flattering and it is a nice documentation of your day, rain included.  I think the umbrella shots ended up being really nice so thanks for trusting me, Marissa and Geoff :)

Chris and Angelica were married in Colombia in December but they celebrated their marriage in the U.S. earlier this month for all those who couldn't be with them in South America.  Angelica and Chris got ready together at Normandy Farms before making their entrance at the country club.  I have shot several daytime receptions and I've never seen as much dancing as I did at this wedding.  They did such a great job of getting everyone excited and on the dance floor.  Chris and Angelica, it was a pleasure to be a part of your wedding, thank you for having me!

Jennifer and Mark's wedding was my last of 2011 and they have been so patient waiting for this blog post.  The truth is, there were so many photos I wanted to include that I was a little intimidated about actually gathering all of my favorites together and taking the time to prepare and post them all.   The good news is, I've finally gotten around to doing it.

Jennifer's disposition is one that makes you feel immediately comfortable, accepted and appreciated.  Upon meeting her family it was no surprise, as each experience and conversation I shared with her three brothers and her mother and father echoed the same qualities.  Mark was such a gentleman and incredibly enthusiastic about photography which is always fun for me.  He was up for and excited about all of our ideas during the portrait session of the day.

Jennifer was referred to me by one of her maids-of-honor, whose wedding I also shot so it was a lot of fun to see Rachel, in the second photo, and her husband, Tim, again.

Jennifer is a teacher and to the delight of her students, she invited them all to be present at the ceremony.  It was so cute watching them crane their necks into the aisle to try to see what was going on at the front of the church.  After the service, they all just looked at her in awe.  It was a testament to what a good teacher she must be, all of the kids just wanted to be close to her and give her hugs!
