Konstantin + Anna | Philadelphia Wedding Portraits

admin — Fri, 11 May 2012 05:57:15 +0000

Konstantin and Anna contacted us do to a post wedding shoot after their small intimate wedding in NYC. Since the B+G portraits are always the most fun, we of course were thrilled to do a post session with them! After keeping an eye on the weather all week, it finally turned out to be the perfect day for shooting with some sunshine popping in and out. Luckily, Konstantin is a photo enthusiast himself and so they had chosen a beautiful location, Natirar Estate Park set atop rolling hills in Peapack NJ. Konstantin and Anna were a wonderful couple to shoot and absolutely adorable together. We are excited to share some sneak peek images from their session!

Kristy + Bret | Pennsylvania Wedding

admin — Thu, 03 May 2012 01:49:26 +0000

Kristy and Bret are the type of people that when you meet them, they immediately feel like old friends with their warm and welcoming personalities. From the first meeting, they have been so extremely easy going and wonderful to work with. We started by shooting some casual and fun engagement photos for them back in January when the weather was unseasonably warm! Then in February we had the honor of shooting Kristy’s Bridal shower at Bret’s restaurant in North East Philadelphia called Benny The Bums. Which by the way, has some great food and a fun, laid-back atmosphere!

Needless to say by the time the wedding came around, we had developed a wonderful relationship with Kristy and Bret and we were just excited to share in the special day with them. It started with some getting ready photos in their home, where Kristy looked STUNNING, and then on to the beautiful Philmont Country Club where they had an outside ceremony and fun night of dancing and celebrating!

Cliff Mautner’s Lighting “Bootcamp”

by Nicole

Aside from our packed schedule of weddings, boudoir shoots, family portraits, and baby sessions this April, I had the additional pleasure of learning from one of the most talented photographers in the wedding industry, Cliff Mautner. Cliff is known as being among the top 10 Wedding Photographers in the world, an international spokesperson for Nikon, and a heavily awarded WPPI photographer in photojournalism. He’s the “it” guy in the wedding biz. And as luck would have it, Noelle has a close relationship with this grand [photo] master after having had the opportunity to work under him for some time. After meeting Cliff a handful of times, listening to his seminars at WPPI and the PDN PhotoPlus Expo, I was quickly able to learn that when it came to harnessing natural light – especially HARSH natural light – he’s the guy to go to. So without hesitation, I signed up for his Lighting and Skillset Bootcamp ready to soak in every bit of information I possibly could.

Cliff warmly welcomed us into his studio and treated his business, skills, and life in general as an open book for us fellow photographers to carefully page though. After mornings of yummy breakfasts, “lectures” and demonstrations, we were taken to Washington Square Park in Old City, Philadelphia (my old stomping ground) for some on-location shooting. Learning to distinguish between quantity and quality of light was key, and once you understand that, it gives you an entirely new perspective on shooting and “seeing” the light. To say I learned a ton would be an understatement. I could go on and on, but instead, here are some of the images from the week…

Alex + Jason | Central Park Engagement Session

admin — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 14:00:54 +0000

When first meeting Alexandra and Jason, it was easy to see how in sync they were with each other. These two lovebirds are down-to-earth, fun-loving and a breath of fresh air. Conveniently located next to one of the greatest cities in the world with one of THE best parks in the world, it was an easy decision for them to want to be photographed in NYC’s Central Park. They are set to wed next April in lovely Woodloch Pines, in the Poconos and wanted their engagement session to compliment their love of nature with some of the best architectural details the park had to offer. Once again, the Femina ladies lucked out with great weather for an April afternoon stroll in the park. Congratulations Alex and Jason! You were both a pleasure to photograph and we can’t wait to see you guys at your wedding!!

Baby Olivia | Delaware Newborn Photography

admin — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 13:03:20 +0000

You may remember Chris and Jessica from their maternity session we shot a little over a month ago. Well baby Olivia made her debut into the world on March 24 at a healthy 6 pounds and 5 ounces. It was an extra special arrival because just a week later her daddy was scheduled to leave for military training. We are so happy Olivia made it in time to meet her Daddy when she came into the world. And just a couple of weeks later we had the chance to photograph sweet baby Olivia in her new home. Oh and the “furry babies” were on hand to help Mommy take care of their new baby sister!

Katie + Brian | Pennsylvania Maternity Photography

admin — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 03:59:12 +0000

So Winter is finally winding down, er, well we don’t know what happened to Winter, but we are LOVING this Springish Winter weather. And so is Katie, our preggo mom-to-be who loves being able to wear flip-flops in early March! It was so much fun shooting Katie and her husband Brian at Tyler State Park in Bucks County Pennsylvania. There is much anticipation as they patiently await the arrival of Baby #1 {they don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl so it will be a big surprise for everyone}! If there’s one thing we love, its babies and of course baby bellies… so enjoy a sneak peek of this fun maternity session and keep checking back for their follow up newborn session!!

Jessica + Chris | Delaware Maternity Photography

admin — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 15:08:25 +0000

Meet these very excited first time parents-to-be Jess and Chris!! We are so happy to share in this excitement with them and were honored to shoot their maternity photos! With a freakishly warm day in mid-February, we lucked out once again and were able to get some lovely outside shots as well as some more intimate ones inside. We chose The University of Delaware campus as the setting for this unique shoot because well for one, Chris had been laboriously redoing their hardwood flooring and preparing the nursery (way to go Chris!) and two because Jess is a fellow UofD alum! So it seemed like the perfect place to introduce baby Olivia to her (possible) future Alma Mater. We can only hope there is a mini Blue Hen fan in the making!! Congrats you two!
