Louisa + Roland || Wedding at the Vie in Philadelphia
Fresh on our blog is another incredible wedding story…
Last Friday, Roland + Louisa joined their loved ones in celebrating their marriage covenant in Philly. Their love story began in NJ, moved its way to Chicago, and has since transplanted itself in the city of brotherly love (for now.) Jon has personally known this couple for a long time, having met the bride in middle school + having shared many mutual friends throughout their college years. In more ways than one, documenting their wedding day was much more than a job.
Sprinkled throughout their busy wedding day schedule were so many hints of love + thankfulness + joy. As outside observers, we photographers get a pretty good glimpse of the big picture when it comes to weddings. We see what couples focus on, what they leave out, and where they pour their hearts into. For Louisa + Roland, it was clear that their celebration was much more than a milestone event with big fancy outfits… it was their way of joining together and celebrating a Love so much bigger than them.
Photography-wise, many thanks to the couple for creating such a spacious and well-thought-out wedding day schedule. Having an abundance of hours for wedding day coverage can be a blessing in disguise, paving the way for equal measures of risk and creativity and daring possibilities.
A very special congratulations to the newlyweds!

Katrina + Ben || Philadelphia Engagements
We had a wonderful time hanging out and photographing Katrina + Ben’s autumn engagement session in Philadelphia. They were a great combination of fun, easy-going and adventurous. Be sure to check out the “love” image at the very end… you’re eyes are not tricking you. That isn’t actually an image, but rather a GIF file (think modern day flip book). Trust us– you won’t want to miss that one!
Katrina + Ben- we look forward to celebrating with you both in March!
