07.07.07 | Elizabeth and Michael The Rittenhouse Hotel

I've been a bit swamped with shooting, so blogging had to take a back seat! Elizabeth and Michael were married on the famed "7-7-07". There were billions of other weddings in Philly, but I was glad to be at The Rittenhouse Hotel. They treat me like family there and I'm proud to be the preferred photographer there. Here's a few from their day.

Pam and Dino's Engagement Session

Light is everything to me. We had to postpone Pam and Dino's engagement twice due to the weather. The beautiful thing about engagement sessions, as opposed to weddings, is that we can change the date in order to have some good light! Well, the third time was the charm for this great couple. We took a stroll around Old City and made some fun images.

Darren Daulton has a new book coming out

Much has been said about former Phillies star catcher Darren Daulton in the recent past. Darren recently authored a new book about metaphysics. Darren has said he experiences out of body experiences quite often and felt his first one while driving in a game winning run in Chicago while playing for the Marlins back in '97- his last year as a Major League player. I was honored to be chosen to photograph the book cover. I was a huge fan of his and remember him leading my beloved '93 Phillies to the world series. Darren has been called "nuts", "whackjob", "out of his mind", and many other derogatory things but after meeting him an spending a few hours with him one on one, he seems unaffected by the name calling and appears damn comfortable with who he is and what he believes. My job was to capture a bit of the essence of Darren and hopefully I did that for him. Here are a few that I liked.

06.30.07 | Emily + David at Penn Acadamy of Fine Art

Emily wanted to see David for the first time at Eastern State Penitentiary. I arranged for them to meet there and then just let it happen.

The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art is an awesome place for an elegant event. This was the light I saw while ascending the stairwell to the second floor of the building. I felt compelled to put Emily in this amazing light.

Special thanks to Melody Appel at Innove, who introduced me to this couple. Melody designed this cool invitation that was displayed on the place settings.

The decor was designed by Donna at Beautiful Blooms and was perfect for that space.

06.29.07 | Marla and Alex at Cescaphe

Marla and Alex had their ceremony outside at the beautiful Philadelphia historical site- The Physick House. followed by their reception that took place at Cescahpe ballroom in Northern Liberties. I began with Marla at The Penn's Landing Hyatt where she got ready and then took her out and around the city for some images of the two of them.

Alex saw Marla for the first time on their day on the water's edge outside of The Penns Landing Hyatt! and then made our way around Old City.

Marla waiting to enter the courtyard to the Physick House moments before her ceremony.

We then made our way over to Ceschaphe

Dave Williams of DVideography handed Alex a video cam to capture some of his own view of the evening!

Cescaphe truly puts out an amazing spread, but I'm a dessert guy.

06.23.07 | Colleen and Deryck at the Seaview Marriott

Terrific couple. Deryck is a dentist who served in the military and had just returned from Iraq. We all appreciate your service, Deryck! Glad you're safely home. I'm sure nobody's happier that Colleen! We began at her Ocean City home. It was a sensational day with amazing weather and great harsh light- just the way I like it. After some beach portraits we made our way to the Seaview Marriott in Absecon NJ.
