Ashlee and Jon were married last year at Wintherthur “An American Country Museum and Estate” located in the beautiful Brandywine valley area. It was a very special outdoor wedding in a tent setting…. Please take a look at the blog post from their wedding. HERE.   

An on location baby shoot with a special past wedding client Joe Ceci and Joe Sobota and their 2 week old baby Joseph Dorian “JD” From belly to baby…. several weeks ago we did a belly shoot with Ceci here in the studio.
Little baby Joseph Dorian was sooo cute! Precious and so cuddly! We were on location in their beautifully decorated home that was tastefully and creatively decorated by Ceci who is a designer. The complementing colors and wall textures made great backgrounds. Add awesome window light and the cutest newborn on the planet and WOW! What an amazing shoot we all had! Jana does so well with interacting with the little ones and the new mommies. We both enjoyed photography the joy and happiness on the faces of the new proud parents. It was also very rewarding to see lots of their wedding pics hanging on the walls in beautiful display. Thank you Ceci, Joe and baby JD for letting us into your lives. We hope you like the moments we captured….. enjoy this most precious time in your lives…

Heather and Doug were married at the Four Seasons Hotel in Philadelphia on May 1st, 2010. A beautiful outdoor ceremony in the courtyard was witnessed by family and close friends(including “Grace Kelly” the fluffy white family dog all dressed in a pink tutu for the special occasion..) It was a gorgeous day for all to enjoy! We ventured out in the city for photographs, stopping at the Rodin Museum and Broad Street. The Four Season’s Ballroom room was decorated with beautiful flowers by Jeff Cooper of Mitzi Associates. And in that room was a very amazing cake handmade by the nationally acclaimed cake designer, Sylvia Weinstock. It had to be seen to be believed! Pat Tashman, Heather’s mom was so involved in planing the wedding. She did an amazing jobs making sure every detail was in place. Thank you Pat for making our day special too.

A walk in the park….. with Karen, Christian and their 3 (very) playful dogs. What a pleasure it was spending time in the fields of the Brandywine on a great afternoon! Jana and I will be shooting Karen and Christian’s wedding in June at The DuPont Country Club. Here are a few pics from that afternoon.

Thanks,

Jana and MIke

Getting to know Caitlin and Chris a few weeks ago was just the best. They decided to go to Rehoboth for their “getting to know you” shoot. Jana and I and our amazing couple spent a few hours in Rehoboth on the beach and boardwalk and then drove to Lewis to catch a great sunset. It was awesome to shoot a couple who really love having fun! Caitlin and Chris drove all the way from Ohio to do this shoot with us! WOW we were honored to spend this precious time with them. Hope you had as much fun as we did. We also walked the shops, had Kohr Bros. ice cream and Thrashers fries, yummmy! A must have when you are at the beach. Jana and I are looking forward to working with you on your wedding day. Can’t wait!!

I design albums to make emotions ooze. Mission accomplished with Jenna & Scott’s album. It makes me even happier when I hear from our clients about how much they love what we have done. Their book made me so happy. It wasn’t about filling every page, or having every image. I’m not there on the wedding day. What is most important to me is telling the story with the images, and making sure you remember how much love there was in the air that day…not necessarily everyone that was there. Jenna & Scott let me do my thing (and so did Jenna’s parents!). It turned into two absolutely gorgeous books.

We hear from the couple about their album sometimes. We hear from a mom about her mother-of-the-bride album sometimes. But when I hear from a mom about not only their book, but their daughter’s book, it makes my emotions ooze a little

What a wonderful treasure of an album (for the parents) but, Jenna and Scott’s album – words CANNOT describe the love and emotions felt oozing from every page.

Kudos to Mike, Jana, and you, Angelique, for helping piece this day together.

Thank you,
Susan and Jeff Cooper

Thanks Susan & Jeff for such kind words! Here are a few of the layouts from Jenna & Scott’s book so you can see exactly what they were talking about!

It was Andrea Jacono and Robert Williamson’s big day on March 12, 2010! They tied the knot at St. Thomas the Apostle, located in Glen Mills, PA. It was a very stormy day, gusting winds and heavy rain but that did not stop Andrea and Rob from having the best day of their lives! We shot Mary Kay’s(Andrea’s sister) wedding last year, thanks Kathleen and Joe for having us back, we really enjoyed being a part of your wedding day once again. The reception held at the Hotel DuPont in Wilmington DE was beautiful, lots of partying to the sounds of JellyRoll . At one point the four grandfathers sang with the band! Performed two songs, the guests went crazy, they loved it! They had the moves too! We want to thank Dave Williams from Cinema Cake (formally Dvideography) for his creative filming and Jennifer Houser from the Hotel DuPont for making the night run so smoothly! Please enjoy more pictures from Andrea and Robert’s wedding HERE !
Enjoy!
