Irene & Jim were married last Saturday at the Rittenhouse Hotel in center city. It was a gorgeous day and they were a stunning couple. I have had a great time getting to know these two. They are a quiet couple but they are full of surprises. We opted to have them meet before the wedding at get all the portrait and group photos out of the way. The only way to go really if you want to attend your cocktail hour. Before diving into the photos here are some of the other vendors that made this day so awesome. Dress: Jim Hjelm Flowers: Petals Lane Venue: The Rittenhouse Hotel Band: Sid Miller Band Caterer and Cake: The Rittenhouse Hotel Lighting: Synergetic Sound & Lighting 2nd Shooter: Steve Langdon (Thank you SOOO much Steve! It was a pleasure working with you again!)
We started the day with just Jim and Irene. I love Irene's expression here, she had the best smile when looking at Jim so I had him stand behind me. (Jim is super tall)
Love the shadows in this one.
Love this one Steve got. Jim looks like he is straight out of the Frank Sinatra era.
Gorgeous. I don't use textures too much, but I thought it was appropriate to get the look and feel I wanted in these next two.
The light was right on!
I think this is one of my favorites.
The flowers looked awesome!
These next two shots would not have been possible had Steve not been second shooting for me. Steve had shot some interiors for this building and asked them if we could take Jim and Irene up to the roof deck for some photos. They obliged and we took full advantage.
This one is looking over South Philly.
Such a vibrant bouquet and lovely details on Irene's dress.
Married!
Congratulations you guys!
The table setups were super simple and elegant.
Jim's reaction to his brothers toast.
I couldn't resist. This is one of Jim's running buddies and he put on quite a show.
The hora is always good for photo opportunities. I love that they are going in for a high five.
Last one. I love the in action moment while Irene was dancing.
Be sure to check out the slideshow for more images. Irene and Jim I hope you are having a wonderful time in Italy!
My passion for photography has brought me from New Mexico to Philadelphia. I fell in love with the change of seasons, the city, and its people.
Photography has always been a part of my life. My family has a rich history of photographers: my grandfather and great grandfather were amazing photo hobbyists. I have some great photographs from my family dating back to the later 1800's and early 1900's. It's amazing to see a photograph of what your mother looked like on her wedding day, when she was pregnant with you and how young she was, because sometimes we forget I was phhotograpghed constantly as a child and having those pictures today is priceless. Photography is history. The images you make today will be passed down for generations. I love bringing that Joy to others.
I approach photography with a documentary mindset. I concentrate on light, perspective, compostion and expression. I make art that will remain with a family for generations.

Great images! I love the Rittenhouse Hotel, and I also adore Brittany from Petals Lane. Her work is always flawless.
