When I was younger, my sister used to dress me up in my mother's super 80's dresses that she'd modified with safety pins, and we'd host a fashion parade for my parents. To advertise the 'event', we plastered posters throughout the house, and charged our parents a small fee to sit in our living room, and watch for the millionth time, me walking around in one of my sisters 'creations' as we played White Zombie's 'Electric Head Pt. 1' or Prince's 'Batdance' (songs I bashfully admit to now knowing word for word!).
What started out as my sister simply playing dress up, evolved into an absolutely amazing talent for creating clothes. She flew all the way from Australia to visit me earlier this year, and brought along with her 6 dresses from her new collection of bridal gowns, and it's with great pleasure that I was able to photograph these extraordinarily beautiful wedding dresses for her new store that is to be opening in Australia, later this year called Enchanted Bridal.

I worked with the clothing company Haight Ashbury Co recently to photograph some of their new line, with the beautiful female model Gabby Gormley, and my exceptionally handsome fiancé Biaggo Comeriato modeling the clothing.
We made the most of these beautiful summer days, and headed down to Stone Harbor, New Jersey, for some beach inspired shooting.
Here are some of the beauties we got that day:
I met with Kenya and Raymond at the Random Tea Room in North Philadelphia in late June, nestled quietly in a corner, sipping on chai tea and enjoying a piece of cake.
I wandered around the city with them, talking about their wedding plans, what they'd been up to since our initial meeting, snapping pictures and watching how effortlessly and adorably in love they are.
Here are a few of my favorites from the day:
I worked as a second shooter for Tara and Joseph's gorgeous wedding, located in the heart of Philadelphia on May 28th.
I spent the morning with Tara and her bridesmaids in their bridal suite with one of the best views of center city I've ever seen, while David Schrott, the other photographer, worked with Joseph and his groomsmen.
The ladies and I then caught a taxi to City Hall for a few photos before Tara and Joseph said their "I Do's". After their beautifully, heartfelt vows, now man and wife, Tara and Joseph, the bridal party, and David and I headed to Love Park for a few shots, then we all caught the subway (and yes, it really was as fun and crazy as it sounds!) to Old City for their reception.
Here are a few of my favorites from the day.
Kristen and Randy got married in May, on Friday the 13th in the beautiful Parkesburg United Methodist Church, in Parkesburg, PA.
My job was short and sweet, just ceremony and some posed pictures afterwards.
The church was nestled into a hill on the main street of Parkesburg, so we climbed the hill to take some pictures of Kristen and Randy amongst the greenery before they headed off to their reception.
Here are a few of my favorites.
They'll be getting married in December this year. Can't wait for their wedding!
