Micky & Stephanie's Wedding - Southern NJ and Philadelphia Wedding & Portrait Photographer

Have you ever been awaken in the middle of a Sunday afternoon nap and was just a little foggy. That was my first conversation with Micky and Steph. They had been to a Wedding Show and visited the Flower's By Design booth. After some small talk they said they were looking for a photographer. I shot one of Colleen's flower designer's wedding just a few month's earlier so she recommended me. That was at 2:30pm. I think by 4pm I was at there house talking Weddings. Why the rush? Micky is in the Navy and was leaving early the next morning.

This was our first wedding with a groom in uniform, Micky wore his dress blues. Stephanie wore a beautiful 2 piece gown, another first for us.

After the ceremony we drove to a local park for some portraits. We had an unusually long break before the reception so Stephanie ask if we had time for the Art Museum. So off we went. Great idea, we don't normally have that much time. The couple received all kinds of attention and congratulations. At one point we separated from the bridal party and when we came back some tourists were taking their pictures with a duck. It's a long story.

We had a great time with them. We pray a blessing on this new marriage and we ask God bless and protect Micky for his time in the Navy.

Philippe & Analee's Engagement - Southern NJ and Philadelphia Wedding & Portrait Photographer

Here's the second part of our insane weekend last week.

We met Philippe & Analee back in March. They are a great couple that met in college. After Ruth and I talked to them for a little while we realized that we both had common friends in France, Brazil, and the US. Small world! In fact Philippe had been in our second floor apartment when we used to have a duplex.

Analee told us that she would like to have their session done in Bristol, PA. I had never been there before but what a good call on Analee's part. It is a beautiful town, right next to the Delaware River. It was funny, we couldn't keep Philippe out of the trees. Analee, being the good bride-to-be, jumped right up there with him.

I'm excited for Philippe and Analee. God has some good plans for them in their future.
