Lynn + Tom - New Year, New Style

Guys, New Years was a doozie. A 12 hour day spent ducking in and out of the freezing cold, and ultimately toughing it out to get some very cool (no pun intended) shots in Rittenhouse and Fitler Square in Philadelphia. But there is something amazing about winter light, something distinct and moody and so editorial feeling. Or maybe it was my stupidly good-looking couple. I think it was both. Happy New Year everyone, expect a very late Best Of 2016 post soon, and an extra special Best Of post too. In the meantime, lets listen to some jazz. Because we deserve it. Press play and scroll!

Rachel + Rich - Rittenhouse By Streetlight

Late fall weddings are interesting, because it always feels like you're racing against the sun. In this case, by losing that race, we actually won. With no sunlight left, we used all of the lights of the city - from street lights to parking garages to 7-11 windows - and came up with photos unlike any I've ever taken. There is something magical about realizing that a great photograph can be taken anywhere as long as you have the right subjects. Rachel in her 1920's dress and veil, Rich with his slightly nerdy good looks... these guys stuck with me through my most experimental portrait session yet.
