What I remember most about Rachel and Blake’s Wedding Day: Rachel was so so excited to be in her dress and be a beautiful bride, a real princess that day! Rachel, Blake and the entire wedding party walked around Rittenhouse Square and the busy streets to get that “feel” of philly. I dodged some cars and buses but it all worked out All of the families and friends were just as fun to be around. We also had a pre wedding shoot in Society Hill with Rachel and Blake. They were so cute to work with Jana created an amazing sign-in book with the photos we captured that sunny and windy afternoon. A 9×12 custom designed flush book was filled with signatures and special thoughts from Rachel and Blake’s Family and friends. She LOVED it! The Beautiful Westin Hotel in Philadelphia was a great place for the reception, the decor and floral arrangements were so well done by Bob Lamsback of Lamsback Floral Decorators . The look of the room was impressive, the lighting, the flowers, linens etc. And the music provided by Ebe Talent, the band THE LA STARZ WOW! Everyone on their feet and partying, ALL night long. I also want to thank Stewart at The Westin Hotel for taking care of us and most importantly making sure Rachel, Blake and all their family and friends had the best day of their lives!
Rachel and Blake traveled to The Greek Islands for their honeymoon. Thank you Pam and Michael (mother and father of the bride) for your warm and generous hospitality. Pam you are one hell of a wedding planner! GREAT job!. The moving moments were captured by Tim Sudall of Video One Productions Tim, thanks you for a VERY enjoyable day, always a pleasure working with you. You always get those treasured moments on the wedding day.

A great pre-wedding/get to know the couple shoot with Christa and Scott! Kennett Square was a perfect place to walk around and really get to know Christa and Scott. Scott is a photographer too and really wanted the pictures of themselves to reflect just who they are. FUN! willing to take chances and just be who they are. I love the bright colors of the small town and the rustic feel it has to offer. Christa and Scott will be getting married on May 26, 2010 at the Flanders Hotel in Ocean City, NJ.

see you soon,

We are so very proud of Ashley White now Ashley Palandrani. Ashley married the handsome and supportive Greg Palandrani this past June. Greg and Ashley’s family have all helped get her boutique open. Ashley Austin is a very chic boutique that carries the most amazing shoes, handbags and accessories! I attended the Grand opening last month and it was amazing to see all the support and buzz that was around that evening. I had to park 4 blocks away! Whenever I am in Kennett I always stop in to say hello to Ashley. Only problem is I walk out with a bag of goodies for my wife every time I visit Ashley I wish you the very best with your new business venture.

Stop in a say hello to Ashley, she will find the perfect accessory for you. For shop location, information and directions click on Ashley Austin

We just love working with this family! Kim and Chris were the third couple getting married in the last two years. Kim got ready at her parent’s home in Pike Creek and the ceremony and reception took place at the Brandywine Country Club in Wilmington. Working with Shirly is always a pleasure. It was supposed to rain that day, but the rain held off until after the portraits and ceremony. Thank you everyone involved for making this day a success!
