Irene & Jim Married May 23, 2009

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!

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