Engagement with Tim and Jen at Love Park, Philadelphia
The windy, rainy day didn’t keep Jen and Tim away from enjoying the beautiful grounds of the Love park in Philadelphia. You already know I’m a man of a few words and many photographs so enjoy!

We had a wonderful day for Randy and Erin’s wedding at the beautiful historic Duportail House. From the long history of the house and decorations to the super fun Irish band and dancers we had a blast! Enjoy the photos!
I’m pretty sure Frankie and Josette got married in the best day of October! They decided to have creatives taken in Rittenhouse Square despite the crowds of people roaming the grounds on such a beautiful day. Then we moved on to the party at Stotesbury Mansion across the street. And it was a blast!
A few words from the Venue’s history, I quote:
“Registered by the Rittenhouse Square Historic District, the Stotesbury Mansion is a historic landmark perfect for hosting your upcoming special event!
Originally a townhouse built in 1897 by architects Cope and Stewardson, the site has been renovated numerous times by a famous English designer, Lord Joseph Duveen, to accommodate and impress the Philadelphia Elite Stotesbury Family’s guests.
Some of the beautiful additions from the initial renovation include a marble entryway, Dolly Madison’s fireplace purchased from the White House, and the fifth floor squash courts. After a second renovation in 1914, the Stotesburys constructed a grand ballroom for .5 million dollars to entertain their affluent guests. They imported a Georgian ballroom that was in the Lord’s manor in England. It took 500 craftsmen over a year to reassemble the ballroom in the townhouse. They imported the crystal Louis XV period chandeliers, the 14th Century Italian marble fireplace, the gold ceiling panels, the Beauvais tapestry that represented abundance hung from the Italian fireplace, and the marble Corinthian columns. The designer’s innovative ideas led to installing an organ and orchestra area also known as the “fiddler’s booth” above the two entrance doors to the ballroom for their private entertainment pleasures. At the entrance to the ballroom, a fountain splashed softly and one could pause for a moment on the small granite benches to enjoy the effect.”
‘Twas a gorgeous day when Kristi and Marc started their own story on the beautiful grounds of Riverview Country Club. We rode golf carts, got rained on with golf balls and had a great time photographing at sunset. But I digress, like one wise man once said, a picture is worth a thousand words – so here’s a dozen for ya’ to keep you busy. 🙂
A gorgeous fall day for a family photography session with Srividya’s beautiful relatives. Valley Forge Park was just perfect for that. Enjoy the photos.
And I quote from this amazing venue’s website:
“Laurita offers affordable luxury, lifestyle and a “third place” where people can gather that isn’t the home or office.
Laurita steadfastly clings to the Old World vision of wine’s place at the table by sticking with a leaner, more lithe style. Our wines make the case for elegance and finesse over size and power, are characterized by a combination of graceful balance and structure and are all about being food friendly.
The aim of modern winemaking is to capture what nature has put in a vineyard’s grapes and present it with grace and balance. Winemaking is a branch of cuisine – the ultimate slow food. The final product must sing its song of place, and the skill of the winemaker should go unnoticed, like the work of an able piano player.”
