The Bride’s Cafe is one of my favorite wedding planning blogs and I visit it everyday – It’s on my list of favorite wedding blogs that I posted here on the photoblog and also on my look book. So when I got an email from Janie, the fabulous lady behind The Brides Cafe blog, asking if it was ok for Nadege and Joe’s engagement session to be featured I was absolutely blown away and of course super excited!
Not only is Janie the mind behind The Bride’s Cafe, she also owns an amazing floral design business – Janie Medley Flora Design. If you are a bride to be definitely stop by The Bride’s Cafe for some wedding inspiration and check out Janie’s website as well – She’s sooo talented and amazing at what she does!

Thank you so much for showcasing my work, Janie!
I met Christine and Anthony several months before their late fall wedding. They were so easy going and laid back and I knew photographing their wedding day would be a lot of fun. They got married at the Moshulu in Philadelphia – A fabulous boat with a lot of amazing history and one of the largest four-masted sailing ships in the world still afloat.
Although it rained most of their wedding day and it was very cold, we managed to make a few stops around the city of Philadelphia before heading over to the Moshulu for their ceremony and reception. Below are a few pictures from they special day.
Congratulations Christine and Anthony! I wish all the best in your marriage!
We made a stop at the steps of the Philadelphia Academy of Music -
We visited the famous LOVE sign at the Philadelphia Love Park -
Then we made a stop at Philadelphia’s city hall and took a walk around -
And then one more stop at Philadelphia’s Lucky Strike -
Finally we headed over to the Moshulu and it was time for them to get married!
I can’t believe we are in February already! Before we know it, it will be time for warm weather – YAY!
I’m behind with updating the blog but I’m almost done blogging my 2009 weddings :) Below are just a few images from Lauren and Andrew’s wedding that took place at the beautiful Rutgers Gardens in New Brunswick NJ – check out their pretty wedding cake that was made for the couple as a gift by one of Lauren’s close friends!
I’ll be back soon with more updates – the rest of my 2009 weddings, my first engagement session of 2010 and some other interesting stuff :)
Thanks for stopping by!
Here’s part two of Ann Marie and Ralph’s wedding! They are both christian and Egyptian and so they got married at the Archangel Michael Coptic Orthodox Church in Howell NJ. This was the first time I’d been to or photographed in a Coptic Orthodox church and it was such a great experience.
Prior to the ceremony we went to Snug Harbor cultural center and Botanical Garden in Staten Island, NY to do the couple’s portraits and family photographs. It was absolutely gorgeous – I recommend a visit if you are ever in the area Their reception took place at Newark Museum – grand and elegant - a gorgeous location for a wedding reception. I got to walk around and check out the very cool art and sculpture pieces with the couple and I was very impressed.
Congratulations Ann Marie and Ralph – Thank you for having me and I wish you all the best in married life!

Ann Marie had 11 bridesmaids and Ralph just had a best man -
There were pockets of sunlight everywhere falling on Ralph’s suit in this pathway but I love this photo -

Ann Marie and Ralph got married last October. Surprisingly, it was pretty warm which made for a lot of gorgeous picture opportunities. I decided to break out this wedding in parts so I could get a blog post up :) and also because I have a lot of favorites. This first set of pictures are all of Ann Marie getting ready – She’s absolutely stunning!
I’ll be back with more pictures and wedding details shortly.

Last month I attended a meetup for the Philly Photog Shootout group and It was a lot of fun. Despite the fact that it was blistering cold – I got to meet a bunch of really cool fellow photographers and take some really cool photographs. I would definitely encourage every aspiring photographer to attend events like this if only for the networking. I strongly believe that with small business it’s really important to network with others in your field as they can they help you out with things you might not know or are having difficulty with and there’s no harm in making new friends.
Below are a few of my favorite images from the day (Thanks to all the fabulous organizers of the event!) -
You can join the photog shootout group on facebook here.
And check out the Photog Shootout blog for all kinds of useful photography and business tips.
I’ll be posting another wedding soon so stay tuned :)
