“Emotions”
A lot of couples have questioned the importance of the first look over the years… Will it ruin the moment he sees me? Will it dampen his emotions? How will he react? These questions are valid and fair to ask. From my experience the truth is most grooms show more emotions during a first look as it’s a private and intimate moment between the bride and groom only.
Sherman didn’t hold back anything as he was truly happy and overwhelmed seeing his beautiful bride. The proof is in the pudding. I truly enjoyed this beautiful wedding, not to mention how easy it was to work with them.
Take a look through the images and you see step by step of what you can expect. The smiles are too much… Absolutely genuine and 100% love.

“Exploring Philadelphia”
Philadelphia is a beautiful city and it’s filled with tons of places for wedding and engagement photos. I’ve been through this city hundreds of times and each time I visit there’s always a new spot to capture great photos. Let’s meet my couple Jon and Sarah.
It was beyond a pleasure meeting these folks. The engagement session went well to say the least. This part of the process is important as it gives the opportunity for both the couple and the photographer to meet face to face before the wedding. Our shoot was at the Philadelphia water works of course we ventured off into different areas of the city to capture the amazing expressions your see in the photos. I absolutely love the colors and planning our shoot just before the sunset was the perfect timing for light.
Thew love between these two is very much real and magnetic, which made my job a lot easier. Not to mention they were willing to get on the floor for these unique photos that I absolutely love. I’m super excited for their wedding in April of 2023.
I love this City !!!

I started my photography journey doing city shots and long exposures. It’s really one of the best ways to learn how to use my camera and control all the settings from shutter speed, ISO, F stop and also the importance of a Tripod. However in this shot, I depended on my drone (Mavic 2 pro) and used my experience to execute this shot.
It’s a different view of the city and within this frame i’ve cycled through all these street. This is my journey and this city is what made me fell in love with photography. From the city lights to the energy you feel all connects with my inner peace.
If I ever run out of ideas on what to shoot this city will always be my go to.

AJ stealing the show😍. Our initial shoot ended with a surprise, so I needed to ensure that we covered all the shots we originally planned for. Certain poses for newborn photography is only possible within the first few days after birth

Let’s Welcome AJ to 2021! This photoshoot was originally booked as a maternity shoot. However AJ decided that he wants a newborn shoot instead 😆. I was excited to meet this little man as I’ve been friends with his mom (Ruddean) for over 20 years.
I love this photo for many reasons…not only is it a beautiful picture but it shows that raw and true emotion that cannot be scripted or directed. I know this kid was full of surprises but this was beyond what I expected. Right at the end of the shoot is when he decided enough was enough and it’s time to take a leak 😆😆😆.
I’m glad that I was the one to capture this beautiful yet humorous bond between a mother and her newborn.
Shot with Sony A7iii, Lens; Sigma 27-70mm Art F 2.8, ISO 320, Focal Length 24mm, F 2.8, Shutter Speed 1/500 sec.
Happy 35TH
