Halfway through planning their big, expensive wedding, Sarah and Zach did what a lot of couples find themselves doing: they turned to each other and said, “let’s just elope instead.” Most couples probably don’t go through with the idea, but for Sarah and Zach, it quickly became reality. With their families’ blessings, they flew from their home in Florida…

More Philly adventures! I was back in Philly again this month, hanging out with Justin and exploring the city. Here is an assortment of snapshots from around town. To kick it off, the Free Library of Philadelphia. I went in search of a book on Robert Mapplethorpe’s “The Perfect Moment” exhibit that toured the country…
Oh no! On their way to the ceremony, Jessica and Young got swept away into a portal and became hostages of a wizard who hates love. In order to rescue them, their friends and family would need to solve a series of puzzles, prove their love for the couple, and defeat the wizard’s spell! So began this very…
The last weekend of September, I headed to NYC for a brief visit from Philly. It was perfect timing, because we got out of town while Philadelphia was shut down for the Pope’s visit; I got to photograph my clients’ engagement session in Central Park, and Boba Guys was following me all the way from SF for their pop-up in Manhattan too. This…
At the end of August, I got to make a trip down to LA to photograph cupcakes for Dots in Pasadena. Pretty awesome career move! As an extra bonus, I also got to meet baby Ellie, hang out with great friends, and explore the Arts District. See some of my snapshots around town below: Baby Ellie! A…

Sabrina and Brian first met when they were in Boston and New York, and for past year, they both lived on the Upper West Side together until they got engaged and decided to make the move out to California. It was so much fun to go from meeting with them in San Francisco to roaming around NYC…
The Fairmount district of Philadelphia is marked by a row of world-class museums and sprinkled throughout with streets lined with brownstones. And then right in the middle of the neighborhood is a huge former prison: The Eastern State Pentitentiary. It was the first prison truly designed with ‘penitence’ (reform vs. punishment’) in mind, and its design became…
Rooftop views, summer pop-ups, cute restaurants, and lots of awesome art installations. Summertime in Philly. Gorgeous views over the city from Le Bok Fin, a temporary pop-up at the former technical school. I made a half-hearted attempt to get a pizza from Pizzeria Beddia, which was recently crowned the Best Pizza in America by Bon…
