ELIZABETH + KRZYSZTOF // ENGAGEMENT

Rob — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 21:10:07 +0000

When Elizabeth and Krzysztof called and said they were going to be in my neck of the woods for vacation I jumped on the opportunity to meet up with them and shoot their engagement photos. I met this fabulous couple at a beach house right on the boardwalk in Bethany Beach, Delaware. This would be my first opportunity to shoot engagement photos in Bethany Beach so we trekked around the bustling beach resort town catching all the sights, smells and experiences one enjoys while on vacation. My favorite spot we stopped at was actually under the boardwalk. It was an opportunity for Elizabeth andKrzysztof to get out of the limelight and just focus on each other for a moment. What beach engagement shoot wouldn’t be complete without a little stroll along the beach and crashing waves at their feet from the Atlantic Ocean. I am very much looking forward to your Maryland Wedding. Congrats to you both!

JESSICA + VICTOR // WEDDING

Rob — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 15:58:04 +0000

So what does a Museum, Egyptians and a hot married couple have in common? Well that’s exactly what was in common at the University of P ennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology in Philadelphia on Jessica and Victor’s big day. Jessica and Victor planned a ceremony and reception at the Penn Museum in the Lower Egyptian Gallery. The gallery set the tone for a warm and unique opportunity to not only witness and share in a wedding ceremony and reception but to explore a royal Egyptian palace and observe the third largest sphinx in the world, the 12-ton sphinx of Ramses II. This was one of the most fun events I’ve ever attended with all family members – including grandparents – boogeying into the wee hours of the morning. Jessica and Victor, congratulations and we’re so happy to have been a part of your day!

KRISTINA + JOE // WEDDING

Rob — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 02:25:53 +0000

There are few weddings I walk away from and say WOW! Did that just happen? I knew after spending a few hours in Baltimore, Maryland with Kristina and Joe during the engagement session they had some amazing stuff planned. Little did I know it was going to be one I won’t forget any time soon. Kristina and Joe started out their day at separate hotels just a few blocks away from the gorgeous St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Philadelphia. Kristina and Joe like many other young professionals in Philadelphia attend this church and were a gracious host to a memorable wedding ceremony. Immediately following the ceremony the couple was greeted (as Father Frank had the pleasure of introducing for the first time) by their friends and family on the steps of the church in a shower of bubbles. The newlyweds then climbed up into a beautiful white horse drawn carriage and set off in the streets of Philadelphia for a few locations they wanted to take photographs at. Our first stop was at the Swann Memorial Fountain at Logan Circle.Logan Circle is one of Penn’s original five squares and features a gorgeous aerial water attraction and blooming flower beds. Swann Fountain was a special stop for Kristina and Joe because it was one of the spots they shared a first date. As we were walking up to the fountain, I was thinking, OK, I’ll pose the bridal party here and maybe there and get the fountain in the background. Nope…. Kristina and Joe had a completely different plan as I turned back around I saw the entire, yes entire bridal party, kicking off their shoes and leap into the fountain splashing water on each other and having an absolute blast. After the water park detour we shot down the Benjamin Franklin Parkway to the Philadelphia Art Museum where the entire bridal made their way to the top of the notable “Rocky Steps” and snagged a few more photos with the city bustling in the background. After drying themselves off and ready to party, we arrived at Richmond Hall in Port Richmond which was just a short drive away. The reception was one of those locations that is big enough to stretch your arms but not quite big enough that you don’t get an opportunity to visit with all of your guests. Kristina’s sister as well as her aunt and uncle all sang love songs to the newlyweds in between the DJ getting the dance floor poppin’. As if it couldn’t get any better, we learned that Kristina’s father Albert Alfaro, an internationally recognized artist and sculptor had actually made the wedding cake topper to resemble bride and groom. I know I speak for Ashley, Sarah and myself that this one will be one of those wedding we won’t forget anytime soon. Congrats!

KATE + GREG // WEDDING

Rob — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 02:10:52 +0000

After spending just a few hours with Kate and Greg during their engagement shoot in Philadelphia I knew their wedding at the Independence Seaport Museum at Penns Landing was going to be nothing but top notch. While planning grand events and being in the lime light is nothing new to this theatrical couple, you could tell a lot of blood, sweat and tears went into all of the details of their big day. From the hand made table cards to the trivia game you had to solve to find out where you were sitting, the Eiffel tower cake topper (where they were engaged) and even their own vows they wrote for each other, this was one of those days where all of the time and attention to the finest details made a memorable event for everyone. It’s not often you find a bad ass funk band that knows how to get the crowd on the dance floor but the Philadelphia Funk Authority did just that, I mean after all they do guarantee an unforgettable party experience. As I look back through the photos from Kate and Greg’s classy Philadelphia wedding I say to myself, like the kid who just got off the roller coaster with his dad, “That was so much fun, can we do it again”. From Ashley, Rachel and myself thank you, your day rocked !

JENNIFER AND RANDALL ~ WILD QUAIL COUNTRY CLUB

Rob — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 02:45:59 +0000

I had the pleasure of shooting Jennifer and Randall’s wedding on one of the most important family gathering dates of the year, Thanksgiving for JPG Photography. I had never worked on Thanksgiving so while the idea was different, the thought of photographing a wedding came natural. The lovely bride and groom were married at Ewell’s St. Paul United Methodist Church in Clayton, Delaware and were joined by a very close group of family and friends. A reception immediately followed at the Wild Quail Country Club in Wyoming, Delaware where the couple enjoyed the company of their guests, live acoustic music and the fabulous service and hospitality of the Wild Quail Country Club. Wishing many years of happiness to the newlyweds!

ANN AND ANTHONY ~ MANOR HOUSE AT COMMONWEALTH

Rob — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 17:01:23 +0000

I recently photographed Ann and Anthony’s wedding in Horsham, Pennsylvania at the Manor House at Commonwealth for JPG Photography. It seems like just about every other wedding I’ve been to this year involved gray skies, rain or somehow other gloomy weather. Ann and Anthony’s wedding would be right on track and pardon the pun but “PAR for the course”. Regardless of the weather, we had a blast shooting this couples Pennsylvania Wedding and the Manor House and staff put on a memorable affair. Wishing the lovely bride and groom many years of happiness, congrats to you both!

JENNIFER AND RANDALL’S ENGAGEMENT ~ LONGWOOD GARDENS

Rob — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 01:44:00 +0000

I recently met Jennifer and Randall at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania to shoot their engagement photographs for JPG Photography. It would figure mother nature wasn’t going to cooperate and gave us a steady misting of rain during our entire shoot. Fortunately for us, Longwood Gardens has tons of places indoors. So Jennifer, Randall and I trekked all over the gardens and immersed ourselves not only in the breathtaking surroundings, but in the rich history as well. It was a fantastic engagement session and I can’t wait for their wedding in Camden, Delaware on Thanksgiving Day. Congrats to you both!
