Laura & Luke | Princeton Theological Seminary Wedding

 
 

Laura and Luke, who met as Princeton Seminarians, married at the Princeton Seminary Chapel. They held their reception at Procter House, an adorable yellow house that serves as the residence for the Episcopal Chaplaincy and a gathering space for student events. It was a gorgeous October afternoon for an outdoor reception. In lieu of a wedding cake, Laura and Luke served several delicious pies. I love how the film from their wedding turned out! The architecture of Princeton’s main campus was a fun backdrop to pose the couple and their wedding party.

Katherine and Chris, who met as Princeton Theological Seminarians, were married at Christ Church in Bordentown and held their reception at Procter House on the PTS campus. We had a gorgeous early summer day for a backyard reception and Princeton photoshoot. I love the way the film from their wedding turned out.

Climate and Community Project | staff photoshoot in Philly

The leaders of the Climate and Community Project, a think tank for environmental research, gathered in Philadelphia for a staff retreat. We took group photos and headshots with various backgrounds at the Barnes Foundation.

Georgia On My Mind

My partner's parents recently purchased a property in Cordele, Georgia. We visited for Memorial Day weekend for an immediate family reunion. Kids and dogs running around made for a lively time, and we celebrated his brother Steve's birthday. The family enjoyed cooling in the pool, paddle boating on the lake, and John, the patriarch, treated us to delicious home cooking.

Juliana & Dom | Wissahickon engagement

Juliana and Dom had a dreamy golden hour engagement session in one of my favorite places of all time— The Wissahickon. I love coming here to jog and hike, so this evening felt like a dream job. I met their dogs and we walked a little on West Johnson Street to get to the woods. Juliana was raised on this street, and the couple bought a house down the street from her parents’ home; we even ran into her dad out for a jog. Juliana and Dom fed me vegan sushi after we wrapped. I’m excited to be joining them on their wedding day this coming September!

Creed Family | Society Hill family session

I have had the privilege of capturing Hillary and Ross's journey from their engagement in 2015 to this family session almost 10 years later. Hillary and Ross also introduced me to their group of friends, with whom I had the opportunity to do engagement, wedding, and portrait sessions. The Creeds have relocated to Massachusetts and booked a session with me during their visit to Philly in April.

We met in the morning at Three Bears Park in Society Hill. It’s a great spot because there’s plenty of shade, a playground for when kids need to take a break, and nice vegetation.

Sarah | Rosenbach Library portrait session

I had been looking for an excuse to try out some of the new features in Lightroom, so I was delighted when my friend Sarah agreed to model at the beginning of March. She chose the Rosenbach Library as our location. We took some photos inside the gallery and outside in the garden in the rain. Sarah and I have been friends since our artsy middle school days when we used to take photos for Myspace and Xanga, so it was familiar and fun to experiment with the shots and manipulate the colors, verging on dreamy alternative realities while editing.

Blood

When I asked my friend Estefania if they would like to do a photoshoot together, they coordinated a whole production with Jay as a second model, makeup by cosmiccutie, set design by Peyton Patchouli, and piercings by Cassius. Here’s a selection from our photoshoot that was SFW! It felt good to honor queer love during the month of February ♥️

Erica & Matt | Teca Newtown Square engagement party

Erica and Matt brought their friends and family together on an icy January evening to celebrate their engagement with good food and an open bar at Teca Newtown Square. Accents By Michele provided flowers, and SofistiCakes Bakery made their cake.

Zuwiala-Rogers | Society Hill family session

I have been fortunate to document Emily and Nick's journey, capturing their engagement, wedding, and multiple portrait sessions as their family expands. This time, I had the pleasure of meeting their newest daughter, Elliot. We gathered at Three Bears Park in Society Hill, a location that is ideal for families due to its picturesque backdrop, balmy morning lighting, plenty of shade, and a playground for kids to enjoy when they need a break.

October 2023 | Sean and Nina's Absecon NJ wedding

Sean and Nina's Heritage Park ceremony concluded with Come Along With Me from Adventure Time, and I definitely cried. They caught a couple of Pokémon on the way to submit the marriage license. They celebrated surrounded by family and friends with a backyard reception, and we took some golden hour portraits at Historic Smithville. The October sun looked amazing on these two!

Sarah & Jerome | IATSE Ballroom wedding

I am so grateful that Sarah and Jerome brought me along for their wedding! Sarah got ready in South Philly. They shared their first look on the rooftop before heading to FDR Park for more photos and the IATSE Ballroom for their reception. At the reception, I was accompanied by Rachel Del Sordo as a second photographer. Sarah's flowers were arranged by Gen.aissance, and Jack from Nocturne Naturals constructed the arbor. Jack's mother, Carissa, baked the cakes, and Charlie “The Humble Man” Cooper officiated.
