Happy Labor Day everybody! Believe it or not, we’re actually taking the rest of the day off, our first Labor Day off in several years… We shot these for Melissa and Paul last week in Bryn Athyn. Their wedding is coming up next year. Can’t wait! To celebrate, here’s some labor that we did the...
What a beautiful couple! They picked a great location and the pictures are very creative!
Great session! That last fountain shot is spectacular!
Bob and Kate have a sweet house down at the Ocean City (NJ) boardwalk that we got to visit on Monday night. They had a good plan too! Some rides, some beach and get back to see the moon rise over the ocean. I thought they were being a little ambitious with the moon thing...

These are incredible, and very imaginative, not at all what I was expecting. YOu have to understand that I grew up at the beach so when I saw the two of you in the life guard stand or on the beach or boardwalk they really resonated with me. VERY brave to put the ring in the boardwalk, unless that was something done in a studio. I loved every one of them. Kudos to your photographer. She/he did an incredible job.
I am truly amazed at your work. You are a true artist and an excellent photographer!
ok that last one is off the hizzzzzy :)
Really great photo with the wine bottle! Great images all around.
Your work is so beautiful that I think I just felt a tear come to my eye. You have a gift.
great idea showcasing everything OC has to offer….Great job as usual!
Absolutely beautiful shots – just so creative! Moon shots were gorgeous!
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a better series of night shots! Fantastic. I love that the beach presented lots of opportunities for completely different shots.
you are awesome. The end.
They are looking so gorgeous at beautiful sea.
I continue to be amazed by your work again and again. You guys are just absolutely awesome. I’m sure some day you’ll get sick of hearing that. :P
Love it! Great location
These photos are amazing! What an awesome idea and location for a session, and the lighting is just perfect!
Fantastic session Tony! Love your perspective!
Absolutely beautiful. I LOVE the moon shots.
Kate! You look so beautiful and happy and amazing! Congratulations again. =) And Tony, really great work. Love your eye for color and composition!
Tony. These are some of your best yet! Great job!
They look awesome!!! We had such a great time….thanks for staying late :) Can’t wait to see the rest!
wow tony! i love them!
Last night we kicked it with Ashley and Erik who came from out of town for their engagement session in Philly… I’m really pumped with how this session came out. We had fun, we literally gave our blood, sweat and tears** into this one. Hopefully by the next time I blog, we’ll have a brand...

Great, great shots. Through your lens it reveals a young woman with a special laugh and it appears a guy who has played his cards just right.
The city is obviously romantic and you hope, or maybe you know, that they’ll never lose this feeling.
Love the shots specially the reflection shot by the curb. Great job guys!
We both had such a good time (despite the initial nerves!!) and are so pleased with all of the pictures we saw so far!!! Thank you so much!!!
These are so great! Makes me regret we didn’t do an engagement session!!
An amazing session! Those with the rim light are out of this world, especially the 6th from top to bottom! Those with the bike and that one from down the stairs (subway?) are my favorites but they all are part of an excellent work!
These are AWESOME!! Love the ones with City Hall in the background!
You know during some engagement shoots the couple seem more concerned with how they look than each other? Ashley & Erik just aren’t like that. They look so in love, especially Ashley’s smile, such a give away!
My favourite is the puddle photo. It’s very sweet.
Great job of matching the rim flash to sunlight – really consistent and well done. Great shoot.
Once again a group of outstanding photos. You seem to be able to actually feel how much love these young people have for each other through the photos.
Good luck to them and thanks for sharing.
Don’t mess with these two… they’ll kick your butt. We had so much fun shooting these on Friday at Longwood Gardens. He’s a karate instructor, she’s a dance teacher, they’re both black belts… all of this should be pretty obvious awfully soon :) Their wedding is in September, we can’t wait!…

We work with Nates Mom beautiful pictures—they “glow” happyness !
hi, i am a lifelong friend of nate’s mom….wonderful pictures. they are going to be such a terrific memory for the two of you. congratulations…
I’m Nathan’s mom. I work for Longwood, so I’m thrilled that’s where Nate and Rachel had their pictures taken. Two beautiful people, in a beautiful setting, with an obviously gifted photographer….it doesn’t get any better! Carla
I’m Nate’s Dad- These are fantastic shots. Lighting is awesome. Subjects are awesome. Action is awesome. Couple is awesome too. Ok, so I’m a bit prejudiced, but its still true. A great example of PROFESSIONAL photography.
I agree that these are great shots. I know how important photography is to you, Rachel. I think you made an excellent choice of photographers. Will you be doing any action shots in your wedding dress?
Ooh. That karate kick looks way cool. I don’t know karate whatsoever but I’ll have to get my wife to lay down in the grass so I can give it a try. Great pics.
Great pictures, I love when you are “one with nature”! You look great, Rachel and Nate. Nice to see you out of uniform!
these really are fantastic. i love the action shots, they definitely capture rachel and nate. i can’t wait to see the pictures from the wedding!
These are incredible! You have an amazing eye! No wonder Rachel planned her wedding date according to when you were available! The wedding photos are going to be awesome! And yeah, Uncle Kirk, leave your camera at home! Enjoy your daughters wedding! :-)
WOOW. these are absolutely georgeous !!
Ron – Friend of the Reed’s. Agree, Kirk leave all your camera’s home!!!
Fun — exciting — AWESOME!!!! You guys are ab fab — i absolutely love your style!
I am Rachel’s Dad, and fellow 5D owner. You have an outstanding eye for composition, and a great Lightroom preset. I agree, it does take hours and hours to get it right. Love the use of the Radio Poppers for flash. Great exposure choices.
We are looking forward to meeting you at the wedding, and I probably should just leave my camera at home!
Kirk Reed
you guys take some great pictures together. they are awesome!
Another stunning set from you!
Fabulous action shots! Love those.
Ok, so it’s Wednesday morning and we’ve been in 3 major cities and 6 states in the last 5 days… Wedding season is crazy :)… Monday seemed like a bit of a break when we got to shoot locally at French Creek State Park with Anita and Brian. We’re really excited for their wedding this...

Gorgeous pictures! I also love the new addition to the top of the blog for what’s coming next! Very cool idea!
Love the colors specially in #7 and the b/w flavored #19. That contrast is just killing me! :) Again, Hoffers, great work!
Hail to a fellow Easterner. Boo to ticks….gross. Worth it though with these shots. :)
