Dana and Dave- Married Bellmawr, NJ

Last year I was at the Lady Gaga concert with my sister when I saw some friends that I grew up with. They mentioned that our friend Dana was getting married and that I should shoot the wedding. Needless to say, the next day there was an e-mail from Dana in my inbox about shooting her wedding the following June. This wedding was extra special to me because I have known Dana since the first grade. Growing up Dana and I went to school, cheerleading, and OM together. Now 20 years later, I was there to capture the 2nd most important day of Dana's life. It was pointed out to us that this was the 2nd most important day in Dana and Dave's life by Dave's father during his toast. The number 1 most important day in Dana and Dave's life was 22 months ago when they welcomed baby Hannah into the world. Last weekend their daughter made the cutest and most well behaved little flower girl I have ever seen. I am beyond happy for my longtime friend to have found love and happiness in Dave and beautiful little Hannah.

Tara and Steve- Engaged Philadelphia, PA

Nothing like heading over to Philly for an Engagement shoot, because you never know what you are going to get! We started off at Love Park with Tara and Steve and got some time with the Love sign in between the many tourists. After some time in Center City, we headed over to Fairmont Park/Waterworks for some more relaxed shots. Tara and Steve were such good sports about my silly ideas. When the water-ice truck came singing by I looked at them and said "Do you guys like waterice?...", but I am glad that I did because it made for some really cute shots. We really had a good time with these two.

I first need to show you one of the funny things that happened during this shoot. We were getting set up to get a shot on Broad Street in front of city hall, when we got this shot:

And here is the shot that we were actually trying to get:

A visitor - Our nephew

This weekend Austin's sister Erica stopped by with her son Alex to visit. Because Austin and I work so much we don't get to see this little guy too often, and it's very exciting when we do get to see him. Of course I'm biased because he is my nephew, but this little guy is just the cutest thing. I have never seen a baby that laughs so much. I really can't believe Alex is going to be 1 at the end of July. It seems like only weeks ago that we sat in the hospital through the night waiting for him to arrive. Austin and I cherish the time that we get to spend with our only nephew, and I always grab a few shots of him whenever I can. This poor kid isn't going to recognize me unless I have a camera in front of my face.....
