ballroom at the ben wedding | valerie + david

One of the things I really enjoy about working in the Philadelphia area is that there are so many different venues in which people get married. Country clubs, mansions, backyards, churches, historical buildings, old factories, and of course, gorgeous ballrooms in Center City. Valerie & David were married in May at St. Monica Roman Catholic Church, and celebrated with their family and friends at the Ballroom at the Ben. Mark Gardner joined me again that day, and as always, I mixed in a few of his shots with mine below.

Valerie & David, you were both a pleasure to work with… thank you for such a warm welcome!

‘Tis the season to get outside and make some great images! The problem is that, as a photographer, I have a zillion images of everyone else in my family, but very few to prove that, yes, I am, you know, here too. And so when my good friend Gabe (of Philip Gabriel Photography) asked if I’d be willing to photograph his family, I said of course… if he’d agree to shoot me and mine. That shoot will happen in a few weeks, but recently I met up with Gabe and Dawn and their daughter in Old City for their shoot.

Late in 2009 I got together with Shannon, Kurt, and their son “L.” I’d shot Shannon & Kurt’s wedding years ago, and it was great to hear from them again! They wanted some family pictures and I was more than happy to oblige. After rescheduling once because of weather, we finally got a gorgeous day and met up in Old City. Here’s the result:








Such a fun afternoon… I’m looking forward to shooting them again!
