Laura, Glenn...and Taylor on the Sultana

I've known Glenn since we moved to Philadelphia five years ago. I saw him more regularly when he tended bar at Union Jacks in Manayunk...and we lived right across the street. When Glenn and Laura asked me to shoot their wedding, I knew it was going to be a fun event. I've been shooting weddings for several years now and they may have had the most perfect day I've seen. The ceremony was in Chestertown, MD on a Scooner called The Sultana. The guests helped hoist the sails and we were soon in motion down the Chester River. After the ceremony we docked and were met by the rest of their guests as we walked down Main Street to the White Swan Tavern for the reception. We couldn't be happier for Glenn, Laura and Taylor and we wish them luck as a new family! (Give a shout when you get back from your honeymoon, we'll meet you over at Jacks!)

Steve and Leslie at the Inn Keepers Kitchen at Dillworth Inn

"May you always have walls for the winds, a roof for the rain, tea beside the fire, laughter to cheer you, those you love near you and all your heart might desire."
Traditional Irish Blessing



There is always concern with every wedding I shoot about the weather. I know with my own wedding we were watching as soon as the 10 day window appeared on weather.com. If there is rain in the forecast, the worry intensifies as the date nears. In almost every instance of rain on the wedding day, it seems to be the furthest thing from the minds of the two most important people that day, the Bride and Groom. In this case, Leslie and Steve. Theirs was an intimate wedding ceremony and reception that took place in West Chester at Christ Community Church and The Inn Keepers Kitchen respectively. The rain was present from start to finish, but Leslie and Steve enjoyed every moment of their special day. They enjoyed a moving ceremony followed by a gourmet dinner with their family and closest friends. Leslie and Steve are in Germany on their honeymoon right now and I hope they will enjoy their pictures if they get a chance to look here.

Diana and Jeff at the Merion in Cinnaminson

I met Diana and Jeff at the Jersey Shore at the beginning of the summer for their engagement session. We had a great time shooting on the boardwalk and on the beach. They are a special couple and I knew that their wedding day would something special as well....and it was. Their affection and joy for each other was obvious throughout the day. I'm very pleased to have been a part of their beautiful celebration.
