mk photography enjoys a day at Huntingdon Valley Country Club

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

This past Monday Angelique and I donated our photography services to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). It was the annual Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Golf Classic . We were so honored to be asked to cover this special event. and It felt so good to lend a hand for an awesome cause! We worked directly with PR representatives Bailey White & Meghan Wright of CHOP. They were sooo helpful and optimistic all day(despite the early morning rain). This was a rescheduled event that was cancelled last month due to heavy rains. We were all crossing our fingers :) The sun came out just in time for the shotgun start! Joni Blum from LSL organized the silent auctions and was a huge help with all the events throughout the course of the day.

Such a pleasure to work with you and I'm looking forward to more events with you! Bailey

What a beautiful day it was… for Liz and Drew! Blue sky and temperatures that enabled us to have a shoot outside. We created some really nice images of Liz and Drew at The Gilbraltar Gardens in Wilmington, DE. They were so relaxed and at ease. We had a great time with the bridal party also, Jana my assistant photographed the guys and I heard lots of laughing while I was capturing images of the bride and her girls. They also loved the night shots we did in front of the DuPont Country Club. Gotta love that screen on the back of the camera!
In the Morning… I remember Liz asking me to photograph her “oversized” slippers while she was getting ready. Well, they were actually Drew’s slippers and she was so excited to be “in his shoes” for the morning. I think it gave her a sense of calm. It was a cute moment, that she will always remember, And so will I. Hope the two of you are enjoying your Honeymoon and relaxing. We had an awesome day with you! THANKS!
