Brian and Brittany: Make March Marvelous



So often couples are intimidated by having a wedding in the winter months...not Brian and Brittany. As you will see they had a flawless wedding this past March and even have beautiful outdoor photos to prove it.


And so they met....
We went to the same high school & had some of the same friends but never talked. We ended up going to the same college and it wasn’t until then that we were introduced through a mutual friend. Ever since the first time we hung out there was no looking back.

Countdown to the wedding day:
We got engaged July 26, 2009, laying in bed watching Gene Simmons Family Jewels. We both wouldn’t have had it any other way ;-) We were engaged for a year & 8 months!

Free Advice!
ALWAYS keep in mind that this day is about the two of you, & everything should be exactly how you both want it. Even the biggest problem you encounter while planning won’t even mean a thing to you on your actual wedding day.


The wedding day headliner:
The entire thing. Seriously, we have never had more fun then we did at our wedding. Nothing went wrong, everything was on time, and it couldn’t have been more perfect if we had tried.

Represented.
The people who were able to be a part of our wedding day represented us the most. We have some of the most incredible friends and family members and we couldn’t have gotten to the point we’re at now without all of them by our side.

Mishaps?
Even if there were... we didn’t notice. It goes by faster then you can imagine. Take it all in and enjoy the party!

Flappers, 1920s, 2009 and Beyond

I decided to bump our most popular post to the top of the blog!  This one is an oldie but a goodie from January 2009.  Tattooed Flappers.

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?

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