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!

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!

Here are some photos of Roxana + Dan’s “after session.” We had so much fun hanging out with them through the whole process and wish them heaps of happiness!

Roxana’s taste is impeccable, especially when it comes to gorgeous shoes! These hot pink sparkly Christian Louboutin’s are to die for! And one more thing…if you want to see one of Jackie’s favorite website’s ever, CLICK HERE and dig into the Loubi site!

Roxana is exquisite! She is Panamanian, which we are determined to get to someday soon!

and Dan is not so bad himself…

And a few from their amazing wedding at TRUST, one of our favorite venues!

And one of our favorites at the end of the night. This is in the bathroom at TRUST!
