We had a terrific time at Lindsey & Shannon’s Wedding this past weekend in Chester Springs. I had been watching the weather channel all week leading up to the big day and I accepted the fact the outdoor ceremony would have to be moved indoors due to the rain. The day of the wedding arrives and 20 minutes before the scheduled start time of the ceremony, the ran stops! It was quickly decided that the ceremony was now going back outside. Family & friends sprung to action to relocate the ceremony site within minutes. The ceremony was beautiful, the bride was beautiful and so was the weather for the remainder of the evening.

Lisa and Kevin’s Sea Isle Wedding was beautiful. I have known Lisa since I was 14, and was honored to be shooting her wedding. She was a beautiful bride and she had a beautiful day.

Kendra and David are one of those couples that are school days sweethearts and have been together forever. Though the have been together for sometime now, the wonderful thing is they still look at each other as if seeing that person for the first time. From the engagement session to the wedding day, they have been inspiring and so much fun to spend time with. I am so glad I was able to share in their wedding day.
I loved the Lego cake topper, which one of the groomsmen later attached to his Lego cuff links.
As the title suggests, Maria & Nikos blog posting will take more than one entry. So Part I begins at Maria’s parent’s restaurant in Swarthmore. Our initial meeting took place at a table at her parents restaurant, just prior to the lunchtime seating. I would say there were at least 6 family members present at the meeting, not to mention the friends/customers and co-workers who would come by to look at my sample albums. Maria’s family is so friendly and inviting that it is hard to distinguish family members from friends or customers since they treat all equally as nice and inviting. So I knew from this first meeting that this would be one wild ride to the wedding day. So the family, and restaurant guests approved of me, and I was thrilled to now be part of this Big Event!
I love doing an engagement sessions with my couples. It is a great way for the couple and I to interact prior to the wedding day. In this case, it was a great way to meet Nikos (the groom). He is truly a great guy. We hit it off immediately, so I can see how Maria fell for him. He seemed like the perfect fit for Maria, and her family.
I stopped by the restaurant the day before the wedding to get this shot.
And just for the record, I already loved Nikos prior to seeing the wedding gift that was parked outside the bride’s house as a surprise.
The day of the wedding I finally got to meet the groom’s side of the family. They were all welcoming and loving. Especially the groom’s mother, she was simply stunning. I have never seen a mother more proud of her happy for her son.
In the greek tradition, the bride and groom enter the church together.
This gorgeous veil was made by Maria’s mother.
More to come!
Tricia and Matt are a wonderful couple. We first met almost a year ago when they came to my studio to discuss their wedding plans. From the engagement session to the wedding day, we have had a blast working together. Their first dance as husband & wife at the Knowlton Mansion was a hit! I felt like a proud parent watching them on the floor. Tricia looked stunning in her gown, while Matt was “GQ Smooth”. He is my 007 (the UK thing has nothing to do with it). I hope they have had a wonderful honeymoon in Greece!
I had to explain this picture to my wife. The groomsmen were “gang” dancing select folks on the dance floor. I tried to avoid them all night, alas fell victim. Oh, and yes the groom is about to spank me on the dance floor.
About this time every April, many folks in Pennsylvania are ready to relocate to sunny Florida. But then there is that first beautiful Spring day and we collectively forgive Winter for it’s sometimes biter transgressions. I can think of no better way to celebrate the new Spring season, than with an amazing newly engaged couple. Amanda and Michael eagerly await there upcoming wedding at Normandy Farms in Blue Bell.
Billy is a Philadelphia Fire Fighter and has himself one red hot romance with his fiance Lauren. I can not wait for their New Years Eve Wedding!

Tricia and Matt truly are “head over heals” crazy for each other and in general! We no doubt will have a blast come wedding day at The Knowlton Mansion in Philadelphia next year.
The day after The Phillies became World Champions we were glad to see the city survived!
