Diana and Anthony at PHL

We met Diana a while ago and we talked a lot about airplane-related activities. In particular, we talked about their destination wedding later this year that will take us all to the Caribbean as we escape the cold winter…

… Then we talked about this session. Diana and Tony had an idea that we hadn’t actually tried before: an engagement shoot at the airport. Not just any airport, though. We had done that before. They wanted to shoot at PHL. Luckily Diana did the leg work. So it was pretty seamless. Amy and I have always talked about shooting in the airport. We love the lines, the light and the general vibe of excitement that we always feel when we’re heading somewhere. Diana and Tony are the same. We just had such a fun time roaming around the terminal with them. Here’s a few favorites…

Notes: This winter engagement session was shot by Amy & Tony Hoffer from Hoffer Photography. The photos were taken at the Philadelphia International Airport both in the terminal and in the parking deck. It was our first engagement shoot at PHL… although not our first at an airport! Then a few more portraits were taken at Waterworks by the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Sandwiched between the entire country freezing over both last week and this week was this rare Saturday sun. It wasn’t warm, mind you. But it also wasn’t the ‘GET INSIDE RIGHT THIS SECOND’ type of cold that is currently blanketing the whole earth.

So we were quite excited to get out and shoot for Lauren and Chris again. Their friends and families were such a pleasure to spend a day with. It’s always such a good sign when the bridal party is calling us by name. It sounds silly, but knowing that people care enough to ask about us is such an indicator of who they (and the couple) are as people. That sums up Saturday pretty well. Wonderful people on a beautiful winter day. It doesn’t get better than that.

Notes: This winter wedding in Philadelphia was photographed by Amy & Tony Hoffer of Hoffer Photography. The bride and groom got ready at the Hotel Monaco Philadelphia, had their Catholic Church ceremony in Glenside, PA and their reception back in Philadelphia at Union Trust. The portraits were taken in Olde City Philadelphia around the 2nd Bank of the US. Other vendors from the wedding included our major BFFs Ashley and Abby from Philly Hair and Makeup Co… video by EAV Productions and music by Steve Croce of Silver Sound.

Winter is always kind of wild with trying to schedule shoots. You know what they say about the best laid plans… Well, Jackie and Tony are expecting and we were all set up for a chilly winter shoot by the water. Then we started seeing the forecast as the temperature got lower and lower. By the time the shoot rolled around it was 10 degrees and felt like -7. Studio to the rescue!

If you follow along on our Instagram, you’ve probably seen some of our recent commercial work in studio. It was so great to have that option for this shoot… and even better to have two of our client/friends that rolled with the punches and had a good time with whatever we all came up with. This was the 4th time Jackie has been in front of our lenses! Enjoy!

We try to tell all of our couples how important it is that we understand them as people. Our goal is to tailor our work to each of them. Last weekend was an excellent example of this. For those of you following along at home, then you’ve already seen the craziness of Sophia and Gabe’s wedding…

If that wedding was like watching an action movie, Laura and Dave’s wedding was like a documentary. For us, that means looking for more subtle moments and trying to be thoughtful about the way we work. Laura and Dave would be the first to say that they’re not into typical wedding photography cliche’s. We found that totally inspiring. Not only did we love shooting for them, but we loved that they were themselves and trusted us to capture the real them.

It’s always an honor to shoot somebody’s wedding and to know that people can feel comfortable telling us who they really are. That’s what we want to show in our work. Here’s Laura and Dave…

Notes:

This winter wedding in Philadelphia was photographed by Amy and Tony Hoffer of Hoffer Photography and took place in January in center city. Laura and Dave got ready at the Logan Hotel on the Ben Franklin Parkway. We took their portraits on Broad Street in Philadelphia and at the Horticulture Center in Fairmount park. The ceremony was at the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul in center city. Guests were taken straight to a reception was back at the Horticulture Center. All of the coordinating and planning was done by the most excellent team at Truly You Events (we love them!). Other vendors included calligraphy by our friend and former bride Caitlin Jane, hair and makeup by Aleksandra Ambrozy, flowers by Petals Lane, dress by BHLDN and music by Masquerade.
