Casey & Jake

 For the past two years I have been a preferred wedding professional at the beautiful Old York Road Country Club in Ambler Pennsylvania!  I frequent here at least 5-10 times a year for always a beautiful wedding pulled together by OYRCC wonderful staff!   My bride Casey went to my high school and we were a perfect fit to work together on her big day marring her best friend Jake!  Here are a number of my favorite shots from a beautiful day last November, as well as some tips and ideas for other brides out there! 

First looks are always my favorite way to start the day!  For all couples discussing the traditional first time seeing each other coming down the aisle vs. Reveal before ceremony  heres what I have to say about that!  Hands down I will choose a reveal prior to the ceremony!  Why?  Do you see these images?  This kind of reaction and emotion in the same frame is priceless.  You also could say that you may feel less nervous when you do actually walk down the aisle after seeing each other prior.   Being able to talk to one another and tell each other now wonderful you look and have a private moment is where the real photos come out! 

      You will automatically elongate your (already going to fly by) wedding day by three hours!  In turn, leaving your portrait time to be a fun time for you and your bridal party to spend all together without being rushed. You also will now get to be with your guests for the entire time of your big day...Yes guys, that means you will get to the cocktail hour and enjoy all the yummy food you picked out. Now you can sit back and eat your meal at your wedding and spend less time traveling around to every table to greet everyone since you have been at the cocktail hour! 

     

 Casey was all about the details...And I'm all about documenting every little one of them!  This match stick idea she had for her "table cards" was cute.  The sign says..."We Found Our Match...Now You Find Yours!"  The Appley Ever After Spiced Cider for their themed drink was very refreshing.  Best detail of all was the favors...Casey Rowley had Phillies Rally towels on every chair!  As always beautiful cakes by Stephanie at Ciao Bella Cakes in Hatboro.

  Fun day was had by all.  All that is left behind are the memories in our minds and the images that we create together on your wedding day.  I strive to be everywhere on this momentous day to document the whole thing as it unfolds. It's my job to anticipate whats going to happen next and be ready for it. Most importantly when looking back on your wedding images I want you to be reminded of how you felt in that very moment!!!

New Miricles to the World

Whenever I get contacted for newborn portraits I love going into my families homes and meeting their new bundle of joy!  Creatively with my client we together find things around their home to create props for our portrait session.  We look for baskets, blankets, I have even bought a zebra chair with me.   I like to photograph in natural lighting as much as possible.

 I go prepared to photograph for up to 2 hours including changing, feedings, cuddle time.  Newborn sessions are the most time consuming, and really tries many parents patience.  I though am use to it, and just love watching new parents interact with their 1st born child, and wonder about one day that being me!  Geeze when I have kids then I think I will have an obsession. Most likely will photograph them everyday, they better get ready now!

My Zebra Office Chair!

Most infants are between a few days to a few weeks old.  I tend to tell my clients the best time to photograph your newborn is ASAP within the first 10 days!  This is when your infant still has fetal memory and likes to stay all curled up and asleep making the hard poses easier to get! 

Love finding cute places for babies!

Dad's Uniform!

These Mommy & Me shots are the best!

Wonderful, precious, adorable, innocent and breathtaking are all these babies!  I love watching them grow, and more so being a part of documenting the start to their life!   Contact me if your expecting!  My session fee is $60.00 to come and take your photos in the comfort of your own home!
