A former bank, Capitale's ornate interiors, complete with really interesting original art, provide such an amazing backdrop for photography. Danielle and Ian's style, somewhat reminiscent of the Old World (don't they look like movie stars from a few decades ago?) was such an inspiration to me and my amazing second shooter Nadine! Selection of images from us both below. We were assisted by Jessica Badgley, a student at SVA, and a couple of her images are below as well.

Cara & Brendan
Cara and Brendan are getting married next October and I am already excited for their wedding. These two are so genuine with an awesome sense of humor. 
We shot their engagement session in style- got picked up and driven around in a luxury vehicle with had champagne and all!
Our first stop was the Phillies Stadium in Philadelphia. Cara and Brendan revealed to me that Brendan was not so keen on the engagement session photo shoot idea at first, but I guess having it at his favorite stadium sweetened the deal. 
Next, my two wonderful models braved the streets of Italian Market in Philly. Enjoy some images below!

Impeccably restored, salmon-colored 19th century mansion, manicured English gardens, antique headless statuary, cobblestone courtyard, lavish interiors and unbelievable floral decor created for the occasion by Pedestal Florist were truly a spectacular backdrop for photography. Stacey, our sweet and beautiful bride, along with her dapper groom Rich were absolute stars, and we loved them!
Enjoy the selection of images by me and my amazing second shooter Nadine.
The funky portrait station was operated by the one and only Willi Wong.

New York was packed with people on Columbus Day, however that didn't spoil all the fun I had photographing my gorgeous couple- Danielle & Ian. These two are pretty much born fashion models- enjoy the selection of images!
While writing this post I was browsing some quotes about travel and discovery, in the mood of Columbus Day, and the one below caught my eye, as relevant for all my wedding couples.
"It is good to have the destination to journey towards; but it is the journey that matters in the end." said Ursula LeGuin

The evening was crowned with a performance by the Trentones, the a cappella band of the University of NJ. The music performance was organized by Katelyn's sister as a surprise for the Bride & Groom, who clearly enjoyed it to tears! 
K & M- thank you- we loved your wedding! : )
