Maddy & Brendan at Graffiti Pier

From the minute I met up with Maddy and Brendan, I knew this was going to be a fun one. We shot at Philly’s Graffiti Pier—one of those places that’s rough around the edges in the best way. It’s covered top to bottom in layers of graffiti art, and somehow still feels quiet and tucked away. Totally fitting for these two….

From the minute I met up with Maddy and Brendan, I knew this was going to be a fun one. We shot at Philly’s Graffiti Pier—one of those places that’s rough around the edges in the best way. It’s covered top to bottom in layers of graffiti art, and somehow still feels quiet and tucked away. Totally fitting for these two.

They didn’t need much direction—just let loose, laughed a ton, and made the whole thing feel effortless. You can tell they’re best friends first, and that kind of connection is always amazing to shoot. Between the bold colors, the soft light, and the way they looked at each other, this session was easy all around.

Carrie and Frank's engagement in Ambler, PA

It's spring time, the trees are blooming, the birds are chirping and April is by far the best time of the year to take engagement photos. Ambler, PA provided us with a beautiful canvas for an engagement shoot.Carrie and Frank were brought together by the love of music when they were regularly going to festivals to see Phish, Grateful Dead and other bands. They had many overlapping circles of friends but their timelines would never work out. Eventually, they've met outside of the festival scene and one day found themselves on a beach, falling in love.I'm looking forward to their wedding in September in Valley Forge.
