They decided to see each other before the ceremony so the whole day was pretty laid back and we had plenty of time to do pictures before the ceremony which is usually how it goes when the wedding day is scheduled this way. The golf club has a ton of great locations for photography and we were able to take advantage of the great weather and work outside quite a bit.

After the ceremony we went right into the party and man did they party. It was an awesome reception and the dance floor was packed almost all night right till the end. Kim and I were glad they asked us to be a part of their wedding day and we had a great time being there – we felt just like family (haha, bad joke).

Don't you dare touch my bottle!

Looks like a photographer in the making.

Mike has that wonderful ability to make Rebecca smile on command which coincidentally I must have asked him to do for us 78 times that day! The two of them were great together, super nice and always keeping each other smiling, it made our job easy. They are both Phillies fans and had asked if we could take a few shots of them with one of the many Philly Phanatic statues spread throughout Philadelphia. Rebecca found one not to far from the park we started at and we made our way over there to grab a quick shot with the statue. We had a great day with them and by the time we walked back to the park the sun was shining and we wrapped up the session with a few last shots in some gorgeous light. We are looking forward to the wedding which will be at Smithville Inn and is obviously going to be a great day!

Kim and I met them at Washington Square in Philadelphia this past Saturday. It was one of those perfect spring days, not too hot, not too cold, and the sun was shining as the trees showed shades of purple, pink and green, everything was coming back to life after a long cold winter. It was a blast hanging out with them, I’m not sure if they know it but they are both really comfortable in front of the camera and they did great just being into each other and ignoring us, which sometimes is kinda what we ask our couples to do anyway. We all spent a nice afternoon just wandering around the park and some of the streets surrounding it and had a great time. Kim and I always have fun with this job but there are days like that when it’s perfect to be outside and you have a fun couple in front of the camera that just make this job incredible. Below are a few of my favorites as well as the photo up top which is one of my personal favorite images, hope you enjoy.

Cat & Tim flew Kim and I down to North Caroline this past weekend and we got to spend a couple of additional days hanging out and catching up with family which was also great. We got to tag along at the rehearsal dinner which was mildly amusing to see how nervous they were. You could definitely tell they were excited but at the same time just looking to get through it all and get to the party. As all of us who have planned a wedding can attest it can certainly be a stressful period but Cat and Tim took it all in stride and kept moving forward.

The wedding reception was at the same hotel that we were staying in so that made things really easy and Cat even got ready at the hotel. Kim and I met up with her a bit before all her girls arrived and Kim did her thing capturing all the details only the way she can (way better than me). As Cat’s mother and her bridesmaids started to arrive we had a great time photographing them while they were getting ready and I certainly enjoyed the humor (and the southern accents didn’t hurt). From the hotel Kim and I got to hop in the limo with the wedding party to head over to the Main Post Chapel at Ft. Bragg. It was a beautiful chapel and they had a short and sweet ceremony which we followed up with some family pics and some photos of Cat and Tim on the grounds outside the chapel. It was the only spot in the whole area with green grass, I still don’t know how they did that.

Again we all hopped in the limo to head back to the hotel for the reception. It was a nice change because Kim and I got to sit down and act more like guests than we normally do so it was a bit more relaxing. We still got a ton of great candid moments at the reception and overall I had a wonderful day with all the family and both Cat and Tim.

Tim, thanks so much for including me on your big day. It was really great to see you again and it’s just like the good old times hanging out with you again. Cat, it was great to see you again and even better getting to know you a bit more, even though the trip was still a little short. Thank you again for the trip and congrats to you both and we wish you a long happy life together. Now on to some photos.
