Flappers, 1920s, 2009 and Beyond

Somehow I became obsessed with the idea of Tattooed Brides, 1920s - 1940s fashion and thought I'd mix it all together. We were fortunate enough to be able to shoot photos at the wonderful Stotesbury Mansion (also known as the Philo or the Philo Literacy Institute) on 19th and Walnut in Philadelphia. This place looks like you've literally stepped back into 1920 - amazing! (oh yeah and you can host a small wedding here)

So in my crazy mixture of ideas we shot flappers, that were tattooed up. Certainly, if you are an offbeat bride, I'm sure you'd have no problem wearing a flapper dress, as your wedding dress right?

This will be the one and only post on the blog for January. We will be finishing up all of our photos and albums for 2008 and you can see us on January 10 at the Unbridaled Expo in Philadelphia showcasing the finest in green and alternative wedding vendors.

Anyway I'll let the flapper photos do the talking:


























































2009 Wedding Couple Dan and Jade stopped by for a few engagement photos at the Stotesbury Mansion. This is my favorite.
