I know, blogging has taken a backseat as we get closer to the end of the rebuild of our studio/house, and just simply that we are immersed in this busy, exciting wedding season! We hope you are all not melting in this heat wave, but luckily it will break they say for the weekend, just in time for Houn and Jon’s wedding at spectacular Fonthill this Saturday. So excited, we can hardly wait!
Love our girls at Eclatante, Kendall and Leila, and it was fun using their chic, gorgeous space to shoot a bit of Houn and Jon’s engagement session. If you haven’t heard, Eclatante is one hottest, sweetest, most amazing event design and coordination groups in Philadelphia. As Rachel Zoe says (who oddly I am growing to love much to Pat’s chagrin), everytime I see what they do, “I die!”
Here are some shots (this was going to be a small post, but got carried away with loving all the photos!) as we walked around one of our favorite areas, Liberties Walk and the Piazza at Shmidt’s. And we also contemplated some pretty pies…
At PYT in Northern Liberties
We were delighted to see our friends at Eclatante at then end of the shoot, some relief from the heat and one awesome space! Houn and Jon had this idea for a old school housewife/businessman shot!

How lucky we were to photograph Annie + Gaurav’s sensational wedding! Marked by genuine moments, gorgeous colors, beautiful, soulful folk…and let us not forget, an abundance of dancing and laughter, Patrick, Adam and I were in our favorite element. Witnessing Gaurav being led down Broad Street Philadelphia on a majestic white horse, carried by the rhythm of a dancing, vibrant crowd, was AMAZING! And Annie’s playfulness, grace, and beauty are beyond alluring. She’ll scoff that I use such pronouncements, but they both are just such lovely and warm persons, it can’t be helped! The Ritz Carlton was the perfect setting for this awesome couple and their wonderful families to merge in tradition and new beginnings…and whirling, grand love, of course.
The most excellent Annie in one of her favorite poses!
Gaurav looking good
The beginning of the dancing that never ends!
The groom receives his own ceremonies and ritual dressing
And then the baraat ceremony with drummers, music and dancing
The beautiful wedding altar
After the ceremony, Gaurav gets a little affirmation from his dad
…and Annie gets one from this little guy!
Their cake was gorgeous!
More dancing of course!
Annie and Gaurav spent a month in Indonesia right after the wedding. We’re dying to see the photos! Thank you for the beautiful Ganesha, Lord of New Beginnings and Success…we’ll hang him proudly in the new home!

South Philly. Italian Market. Need we say more. Great light, great little spots to shoot. Amazing couple. Lauren and Dan’s October wedding at the Rittenhouse Hotel in October is too far away! Can’t wait!
Love the guys at Geno’s in the back! So Philly!
The Fonz likes Lauren
Love South Philly!
