Overcast. Dreary. Cold. This is Philadelphia in February. You just have to take what nature throws at you.

Fortunately for Helen & Jimmy, the huge back-to-back monster snowstorms we had in the region happened the week or so prior to their wedding. The weather didn’t hinder anything though. Nothing was going to stop these two from getting married. And even though the salon was a bit slow with getting ready, and the ceremony started a bit later then planned, the outcome was still the same … Helen & Jimmy were married. Like the weather, you just have to roll with what is thrown at you : )

Location: Philadelphia

Hotel & Reception: Radisson Warwick

An Appreciation for Big Cities

admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 02:37:11 +0000

I never liked being in cities. For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to live far out in the country. No cares, no worries, no traffic. But that all changed when I fell in love with photography.

Now I’m in love with them. Whether its Philadelphia, or some other city I get to visit to photograph clients, I love them. I love the lines. I love the atmosphere. I love the colors, the pace, the vibe. I love the buildings, the shadows, the architecture. I don’t see cities as a mess of cars and people now, i see them as blank – or empty. A blank canvas. Open to however I want to view it. I see things with a lens permanently attached to my eye … figuratively obviously. I see everything now as a photographer. And I’ve come to appreciate big cities.

I do however, still like living outside of them ; )

Finding an amazing new location is fun, so when Brian emailed me suggesting Terrain at Steyers I was immediately stoked to shoot there. Of course, there was about 2ft of snow on the ground since the Philly area was hammered this winter, but it didn’t stop us from having a wonderful session and a great time.

Simply put, this is why i love film so much!
