Kristin & Garner, Engaged

Simon — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 01:41:12 +0000

Kristin & Garner are another awesome couple who just happen to be getting married this Saturday at Villanova, where they met. Talk about coming full circle. The fact that Garner was until recently serving our country overseas meant that we weren’t able to do this engagement shoot until 2 weeks ago…when it rained…meaning that we only got to complete our shoot last week.Talk about leaving it ’til the last minute! No worries though, we had a great time and I’m looking forward to spending the day with you on Saturday guys…and if it rains, who cares, we’ll just spend the entire afternoon under your tree!

Melissa & Adam, Still engaged!

Well Melissa and Adam are good friends whose wedding I will be shooting in Maine next week. This little shoot was a second engagement shoot with a change in wardrobe, scenery and temperature. Running around in Fairmount Park on a late summers afternoon was a lot more fun than running around the city in the late evening in the fall although the pics from both sessions turned out great. My job is always easy when my clients are comfortable with each other and Melissa and Adam seem to fit that description pretty well. See you in a week guys and reserve a lobster for me.

Lauren & Bryan, Married

Well it’s good to be back and blogging about two of the most fun people that I know. The fact that Jimmy Buffet was invited to this wedding…although he couldn’t come…should tell you everything that you need to know about Lauren & Bryan and their families. Without trying to sound cheesy, everything about this wedding was perfect.

Thanks for having me there guys and I hope that Aruba was awesome and that married life gives you everything that you wish for.

Lauren & Bryan, Engaged

It was great to hang out with Lauren and Bryan this past Sunday. Being in Old City Philly brought back great memories of the 5 years that Erin and I lived downtown and the fact that I got to hang out with these two lovebirds made it even better. Although Bryan is the photogenic one I think that Lauren did quite well too and between the laughter and rain we even managed to capture one or two romantic moments.

I haven’t forgotten about those wings Bryan so hopefully we can hang out again soon.

Lisa & Mike, Married

I met Lisa and Mike at a wedding that I shot two years ago and was honored when they asked me to be their photographer this year. They got married two weeks ago on a beautiful spring afternoon in New York. The ceremony was held rooftop at the Arsenal in Central Park. I love it when weddings just unfold naturally and without drama. This was one of those days! Everything was perfect from the weather to the entertainment. Mike’s mom even gave a vocal performance during the ceremony that was pretty incredible. Lisa and Mike, I hope that the sun always warms your backs as it did on your special day.

P.S. The BBQ was perfect and has now become my #1 favorite wedding food.

John & Emily, Married

So I’m about as big a Phillies fan as somebody who has only been watching baseball for 5 years can be, but I was put to shame by the enthusiasm for the Phillies that was displayed by John, Emily and their friends and family last weekend.
Their entire wedding was held at Citizens Bank Park, home to the 2008 World Champion Phillies (and 2009 runners up). Everything about your day was perfect guys and I hope that you enjoy this small taste of things to come.

Thanks for having me share your day with you.

Carley & John, Married

What a week! Weddings are awesome. Two lives coming together observed by family and friends is always emotional and an experience that I really enjoy at every wedding that I photograph. The fact that Carley and John are friends just made it even more fun and special.

Thank you for an amazing week in and around Dublin, John and Carley. You really did make it a special experience for all of us.

Enjoy the pics and there are tons more to follow.

Love,

Simon
