Angela & Matt: Portrait

On the same day that Lauri and I shot Bill and Emily's engagement session, we also shot Angela and Matt's "engagement" session. I have actually known Angela for a very long time, although I haven't seen her since high school. Angela and I go way back to the girl scouts in elementary school. :-) So you can imagine how surprised and flattered I was when Angela contacted Tangerine to shoot a portrait session of her and her husband. She explained that when they were planning their wedding they hadn't had the extra funds for an engagement session, but she had always wanted one. So for Christmas last year a portrait session with the photographer(s) of her choice was one of her gifts. And she picked us after randomly finding us on the internet. Yay! :-)

Love this photo that Lauri got with their pup Dexter.



One of the requests that Angela made when she first contacted us was that we do a few photos with their dog Dexter. So our first order of business was getting those photos done before Angela's sister came and picked him up. He was a very good boy and it went great.





After that, the four of us wandered around the campus of Bucks County Community College for a bit. It's so beautiful there we could have shot in a million locations.





Angela and Matt have been married for 2 years now, but they've been together since the end of high school. They have such an easy affection between them that it was easy to catch great moments like this. :-)











Other than including Dexter, the only other request Angela made was that we reschedule in case of rain. Unfortunately on their wedding day it poured, so they didn't get a lot of great outside photos. Lucky for us, the day of their shoot was perfect golden fall weather.

Angela was quick to laugh. We love that. :-)



















Angela and Matt, we had an awesome time shooting your "engagement" session and catching up! We hope these photos are totally worth the 2+ year wait. :-)

Bill & Emily: Engagement

I have actually been friends with Bill & Emily for a while now. Bill is an amazing, amazing (emphasis on amazing) piano player and he has worked with my good friend Lauren in their band Almost Awake for several years. So I was beyond thrilled when Bill and Emily decided to have Tangerine shoot their wedding in December! :-) They are such genuinely good people and they work so well together they are a pleasure to spend time with. Lauri and I had a blast shooting their session and can't wait for the wedding.

Since Bill and Emily's romance started at their alma mater Temple U, we decided to head back there to shoot their session. A little Temple love...



Apparently if you go to Temple, the Owl here is the place to meet...or so they'd have you believe in the tours. :-)





I think they've got cool down...



They were good sports and did a little jumping. :-)



I love this one that Lauri took of them at the Bell Tower. We had to brave the skateboards for it.



We tried to find a little bit of nature in the heart of North Philly...











...and we worked the city angle too











...and the last shot of the day. :-)



Bill & Emily, we hope you had as much fun as we did on the shoot and we can't wait for the wedding! You guys ROCK! :-)

Michele & Gary: Engagement

We met Michele only about a month ago when she booked us to photograph her and her fiancee Gary's wedding...THIS WEEKEND! We had to quickly squeeze in an engagement session, and luckily everything worked out perfectly. We chose downtown Ambler for their engagement session because it has that sort of small downtown main street feel to it and we thought it would make a fun backdrop for their photos.







It was really super hot that day but Michele and Gary were troopers. Michele promised Gary some Rita's water ice to keep him motivated and it worked. So we made our way down main street to the train station and took some fun shots down there.





Gorgeous Michele...





And after it was all said and done, as promised, Michele and Gary made their way to Rita's for some well deserved water ice :-) (It was REALLY hot!)





Thank you guys for an awesome photoshoot and we can't wait for your wedding this weekend! It's going to be a blast!

Anne & Daniel: Wedding

On 7/7/2007 we had the pleasure of shooting the wedding of Anne and Daniel. Since they don't actually live in the area, but were having their wedding in Bryn Mawr where Anne attended college, they booked us without meeting and we actually didn't meet for the first time until the day before the wedding. It was wonderful to get to know them throughout the day and to see how much they truly love each other.

They began dating in high school, and spent their years in college making the long bus trip every other weekend to see each other (Anne at Bryn Mawr and Dan at American in Washington D.C.). So it is no surprise that there was a lot of talk of devotion at their wedding. A distance that might have been a strain on most couples, served to strengthen their bond and commitment to one another. They are a wonderful couple who we are certain have many years of happiness ahead of them.

Here are some photos from the day, and check out the link to the slideshow at the bottom to see some more of our favorites.



Anne was just beaming. I don't think there's ever been such a calm bride on her wedding day.











During the vows both Anne and Daniel were overcome with emotion. Anne's vows were sprinkled with a mix of tears of joy and giggles (which led to giggles from the wedding guests as well as the bridal party).



After the ceremony we headed over to Bryn Mawr for some formal photos.





The reception was an intimate lunch. The perfect end to a touching wedding.





Thank you Anne and Dan for being so kind to us. It was a pleasure photographing your wedding. We hope you had a wonderful time on your honeymoon.
