Mike and Heather got married over Christmas break- (Heather is my sister-in-law). She was about 15 when I met her when David and I started dating, so it seems strange to me that she is now old enough to be doing things like driving a car, legally consuming alcholic beverages, staying out past curfew and GETTING MARRIED. WHAT???
The wedding was in downtown Philadelphia and I just grabbed a few shots of them before they went into the reception. Their wedding photographer was really nice to let me do that. It was crazy dark outside at that point and I was shooting without a flash, so I just jacked up my ISO and lightened them up a TON in the post processing. The low light ended up adding alot of mood to the photos that wouldn't have been there otherwise, so I'm glad it sort of worked out that way. I will really cherish having some of my own shots from their special day.
And just to nip any wise ideas in the bud- no, I will not consider photographing any weddings! =) Mike and Heather we had so much fun at your wedding and you make such a beautiful couple. We love you guys!!
The old-fashioned look of these is GORGEOUS!

What beautiful photos of a lovely couple. Thanks for taking them! The bride is gorgeous. Her older sister must be so hot.

Ok WOW! These are outstanding. How come you don't do weddings...is it the stress level/pressure?

OK, seriously. I knew you had crazy talent when it came to kiddos (which by the way--I need to have you shoot my boys!)... but you rocked the bridal shots. Oh, and the folks at Eastowne say HI! :)

Is it okay if I read the comments and pretend the 'stunning' and 'gorgeous' ones are solely in regard to myself, and not your mad skills? Because I want to. The Facebook world is in love with you, by the way. Thank you for such incredible photos!!!!!!!!!

These are beautiful wedding photos! I love the treatment as well. I'd love to know where you found it or did you create it yourself?
