Laura + Matt | Engagement


On Friday, I went up to Valley Forge for Laura + Matt's engagement session. These two are a great time and made my job awfully easy. There's just nothing better than perfect fall weather, cool people and evening with a camera. Thanks for the fun times Laura + Matt... Enjoy...

















Laura, you nailed it...


My favorite...

The Cherkis Family


Thursday evening, I was way up in Northeast Philadelphia for a family session to celebrate Talia's first birthday. I love going places that mean things to people, so it was cool to hang out at the family's high school. Fun times. Talia was a trooper... her toughness, grit and determination was unmatched (sorry, it's football season). So, a big HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY is in order TODAY! Enjoy...



She liked the leaf... a lot.

    Just stumbled upon your blog tonight and I really love your work. These photos in particular struck me because it was the first that I found of a young family (which I have and was happy to see that your work with) and that’s my high school in the background as well!! You did a wonderful job capturing a happy family in such a pretty setting!!

For those of you with an October or November date scheduled, please feel free to take this if it works with your schedule.

Kate + Greg | Engagement


On Sunday night, I headed down to the Jersey Shore for Kate + Greg's engagement session in Cape May. There's not many places here on the East Coast where you can see the sunset off the ocean, and we were pretty blessed to have a good one. Kate + Greg are very fun and very laid-back. My kind of people. Nice hanging out with you both! Thanks to Allison once again for carrying my heavy bag through the sand. Glad I could give you a workout :)... Enjoy!...

  1. FIRST !

    It’s so much fun to see you work on a location you aren’t familiar with or haven’t been to. Your freshness on this set is awesome. I absolutely had a brain gasket blown at the ring shot ! I’m mindless now…. this is a fantastic set !

    kate&greg- WOW!! you guys look so FABULOUS, these pictures turned out amazing! (i guess tony gets some credit too) i am obsessing over the ring shot, that bottle=good find by kate. (can i add that to my must-have list?) i wish you both the best in wedding plans and married life!

  3. Tony, these are awesome… one question… for the ring shot is that a super fast lens or is that macro… Again awesome work!

  4. June

    Tony I am obsessed with this set. Holy cow are they good. Sheesh.

  5. These are very 3008. Like serious.

  6. Lee Florida

    I’ve never seen the Jersey Shore look so beautiful! These are awesome!!

  7. Ajja

    absolutely love these… for so many reasons….makes me want to go to the jersey shore which is saying a lot for this hawaii girl!

  8. I love the one with sand on her feet. Your ring shot is lovely and the triptych is absolutely gorgeous!

  9. Residents can be educated to notice and report any suspicious activity in and around local water utilities. ,

  10. That made me think about how important it is to be happy – it keeps us healthy. ,

Danielle + Jonathan | Wedding


On Saturday I had the pleasure of shooting for Danielle + Jonathan in the small town of Adamstown, PA. I was happy to be joined once again by my friend Mike Landis, who second shot for me. Danielle + Jonathan seemed to be the talk of the town that day. It was a really cool wedding for me as we got to shoot a few shots at their new house, get a few pics with their pets and it really felt like they were where they wanted to be.

The weather was as perfect as weather can be. It was just a joy working Saturday, and I hope it shows through. Enjoy!...

I had a much more normal shoe shot, but this one was way better :)




This shot of the guys was taken by Mike...








For strictly artistic purposes, this is maybe my favorite shot of the day. I apologize if you think it's weird, but I like it... and I'm weird...

  1. I love the green buggy! The shoes photo with the kitty is also a nice touch. I would say my favorite however is them in front of the window with the rain/water spots on it. Great eye!

  2. I love the groomsmen’s ties! Man, I wish I would have thought of that for my wedding.

  3. Amazing! The VW Bug shot is phenomenal!!

  4. i think this is the best set of wedding photos i’ve seen in a long time. maybe it’s because i’m suck a sucker for splashes of green. or maybe it’s the amazing shot of the guys from their necks down (such awesome ties!). whatever it is…WELL DONE!

  5. These are fantastic as always Tony! Awesome Garter shot!

  6. Missy

    As I’m sure you know, the WPJA has those categorical photo contests…I think you should make an entry in the category entitled, “kids being kids,” for the shot you captured of that little guy sticking his finger on (or up?) his nose! It’s an adorable moment and well-composed! (Maybe use a Color Mixer filter to make the blacks pop more and add even more dimension) :) You’re great, I love following your work.

  7. Love all the details!

  8. its so hard to know what else to say each time about your coverage of weddings and such… this is ANOTHER amazing set with so much versitility it’s sickening.

    I enjoy everything you do Tony and Co. – and appreciate your excitment about every set !

    - travis williams (Tucson, AZ)

  9. Chris Reel

    Gorgeous Gorgeous Gorgeous — thanks for sharing. I have to agree the pic at Stoudtburg Village with the water fountain drops is the best.

  10. Vicki Kerns

    Smiling in aww…the very best photographs of such a special day. Love it, love it! See you BOTH @ the diner soon?!

  11. KRISTEN

    WOW WHAT AMAZING PICTURES!!! I’VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT!!! YOUR WEDDING WAS BEAUTIFUL AND YOUR PICTURES CAPTURED IT BEAUTIFULLY!!! CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN- XOXOX KRISTEN

Katie + Matt | Engagement


This week I took a very quick trip out to Pittsburgh to shoot some engagement pics for Katie + Matt. We called an audible and went up to Grove City College, where they went to school. What a cool campus up there! It's no Eastern, of course, but what is :)

K+M are getting married really soon, this November. I'm excited to go back out. I like Pittsburgh :)... In the mean time, fill some of your western PA photo needs right here. A big thanks to Chris who traveled up from the city in the early morning to help me out. Enjoy!...

  4. Matt Swab

    Wow! Tony, these are fantastic. I can’t even decide which one I like best! They’re all so good. And not only are you a phenomenal artist, but a great guy. We had a blast working with you yesterday and can’t wait for you to come back out in November.

  5. Katie

Adrienne + Dustin | Engagement


On Monday night I had the pleasure of spending some time in Longwood Gardens with Adrienne + Dustin. They're getting married next summer. The first time we met, I realized that these guys have about 1 million connections with other clients I've shot for. In fact, Adrienne is the second Miss Delaware contestant I've shot for... weird.

Anyway, this is one of my favorite engagement sessions this year. You really can't go wrong with a great location, great weather and really great people. It was fun and I'm excited to show these images. Thanks to Allison for lugging all my gear around and coming up with some good ideas! Enjoy!...











Awesome handstands...

My favorite shot that I've taken in a long while... I love this one for some reason...



As someone who doesn't normally notice eyes, aren't these the greenest eyes you've ever seen?...

Erin + Matt | Wedding


On Saturday, Amy and I were out in Harrisburg (and surrounding areas) for Erin + Matt's wedding. These guys are great and their friends and families were too. It was such a nice relaxed wedding. We had plenty of time for portraits in between which helped make for a wonderful day of photo taking... despite the light misting we received. Anyway, I'm off to a shoot, but wanted to get these up ASAP, so I won't say much more... Enjoy!
