WOW. Love Shack Photo was SO proud to be sponsors of Philadelphia’s wedding + event industry bash of the year! FRESH is presented annually by the International Special Events Society (ISES) of Greater Philadelphia as an industry showcase, networking event and fundraiser. Participating event professionals uphold a high level of excellence, and this year that end was no doubt fulfilled. Ohhhh…all the lush + colorful arrangements, jamming bands and entertainment, and tasty comestibles could not have had a more suitable setting…the luxurious and striking Elkins Estate in Elkins Park, PA! We LOVE a good party, and this party was not good, it was outta-hand sensational! So many awesome participants, far too many than we can list, but here are just a few highlights…

The grand entrance was amazingly lit by Eventions and decor by Eventricity

So many blog posts we have lined up, but thought I’d just post these awesome pics of the most fabulous Carolyn Diamond! We took these quickly when we were doing a fashion shoot at the Elkins Estate not too long ago and Carolyn was our makeup artist. We LOVE working with Carolyn…she is so highly accomplished with a long resume of wedding, corporate, film and TV production experience in Philadelphia and across the country, and a fun and playful attitude to boot. Carolyn has an experience with life like no other we know, and she continually breathes her sophistication and awareness into her craft- her clients feel comfortable and gorgeous with all her mad skills. She is such a beauty as well, inside and out!
