Colleen & Erik. Married at the Horticulture Center in Philadelphia.

Colleen & Erik’s wedding was the official start to my wedding season. It had been a few months since photographing a wedding and I was itching to get going again. If this is an indication of what 2012 is going to be like then I’m more excited than I was before. The weeks leading up to their wedding Philly experienced some insane weather. We had gorgeous 75 degree sunny days for weeks in a row .. in March .. when its normally snowing. I got excited because it looked as if we were going to have a day like their for their wedding. But Mother Nature wouldn’t have it. The day before it was beautiful and she blessed Colleen & Eric with something different. Wind, rain, and colder weather. Typical Philadelphia.

BUT …

It was not your typical wedding. The Horticulture Center looked amazing. Colleen & Erik looked amazing. Everyone was upbeat and awesome. While the weather was crappy, the vibe around was anything but. It was a blast and I couldn’t be more happy with how the pics turned out. What a wonderful start to the season. Now I get to set my sites on Colleen’s sister’s wedding later this year. I’m all pumped up for that now.

Gotta give a shout out to my assistant George for tagging along and getting some shots of the guys.

Blue Hill at Stone Barns Wedding in New York

A few months ago I had the wonderful opportunity to assist Brian Wright, half of the wonder duo of The Brothers Wright, for a great wedding in my neck of the woods. Blue Hill at Stone Barns is one of those venues I’ve been wanting to photograph a wedding at for quite some time now so when Brian was searching for an assistant, I jumped at the chance. On top of the chance to shoot at that location, I was excited about working Brian as him and his brother put out some amazing wedding work. I definitely recommend checking out their website. You can view Brian’s version of this wedding here.

Karyn + Dave. Married at Stotesbury Mansion in Philadelphia.

Anyone who knows Dave and Karyn know they are a riot. Always cracking jokes. Lots of sarcasm along with a hint of a dry sense of humor. Just my kind of people. And after meeting them for lunch, It didn’t take me long to realize they were going to have a great wedding. One that I was honored to be a part of.

I’ll be honest though, I was a bit nervous to perform for these two. Dave is a local wedding photographer so the pressure was on. I love being asked to photograph the weddings of colleagues. Its humbling, fun, and also I challenge. And while I don’t get nervous the day of, those few minutes after you notify them their pictures are ready are a bit nerve-racking. Did I do a good job? Will they like them? I’m sure I’m not the only one that has those thoughts.

In the end, there was nothing to worry about. The wedding was great. The people were great. The day was great. There was a lot of sarcasm. A lot of jokes. And a ton of happiness. Dave and Karen were king and queen for the day, as noted in their special crowns they got to wear. And as the famous saying goes:

It’s good to be king.

Check out Dave’s work here.
And, thanks again to my trusty assistant, George.
