I am very excited to finally be able to share that Style Me Pretty is featuring Christ and Brad’s gorgeous Kimmel Center wedding (1, 2, 3) on their Little Black Book blog. This wedding was absolutely stunning thanks to Christi’s impeccable style and Evantine’s gorgeous designs. I had such a wonderful time working with Christi and Brad because they were so open and generous. They were both so excited for the day and everyone had a smile on their face. When you get to witness such joy, love and happiness it makes it all worth it.

New York Dance Photographer: Doug Varone and Dancers

Sofia — Sun, 27 Mar 2011 18:24:00 +0000

As a former professional dancer, I get really excited when I get an opportunity to photograph dance. Being in New York now, there are a ton of dance companies and I was really honored to have the opportunity to photograph Doug Varone and Dancers. This is a small company made up of modern dancers handpicked by Doug Varone. Reading an article about how he picks his dancers, he says he likes to find dancers who have lived, are comfortable in their bodies and can bring a maturity to their dancing, who will bring something to his work, who will make his work better. Each one of these dancers has really beautiful movement quality and timing. It was refreshing to watch modern dancers who move through space freely and still keep the integrity of their technique.

This was the New York premiere of “Chapter from a Broken Novel” performed at the Joyce Theater. “Chapter from a Broken Novel” original score was created by David Van Tieghem. You can see Doug’s thoughts and description of the piece here and here. Here are just a few of my favorite images from the performance.

Jessica and Andrew’s story and engagement picture was chosen for one of the coveted New York Times wedding/celebration announcements. In fact the New York Times loved their story and photo so much, they even made a video of them. When I first met Jessica and Andrew, she told me it was her dream to be featured in the New York Times wedding section. I am so glad I was able to help make that happen. They published their story on their wedding date: February 27, 2011.

Here is the photo they used from their engagement session:

Here is a screen grab and link to read the rest of the article in the New York Times:

Here is a link to the video- I loved how they spent time with them and shared the story of how they met, follow-up dates and how he proposed.

Philadelphia Get to Know You session: Katy and Jeff

Sofia — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 14:37:53 +0000

Another Philadelphia engagement session!. Katy and Jeff are a breath of fresh air. I mean they just get it. They get what it means to be in love; to really care for each other. When talking with them about who they are and what is important about their wedding, they said “The most important thing to us about our wedding day is actually making the commitment to spend our lives together.” That is what a wedding is about, that is what marriage is about. The commitment to spend your lives together. Even when things are tough and you can barely stand talking to each other or the dirty dishes are piling up in the sink or you have to use paper towels for toilet paper because there is no more toilet paper. Thank you guys for reminding me and all of us what marriage is about.

Katy and Jeff are also fun, sweet and go together so well. They met on e-harmony and even if you don’t believe in all the compatibility quizzes and online dating this is one couple that proves it works. However, Katy did say they had a hard time finding the time for a date, it kept getting cancelled for one reason or another. After 5 months of talking and a few failed attempts at in person meetings they finally met up at the Nodding Head Brewery for Quizzo and beers. They have been together ever since.

Katy says, ” Jeff is my best friend, I have never felt so happy and loved. He also has the largest itunes music collection I have ever seen.” Jeff used to play in a cover band, I think he was just studying up

I am really excited about their wedding this summer at the Please Touch Museum. They said they want to play in all of the exhibits!

There was a carousel at city hall! Katy loves carousels.

I love Katy’s relaxed, easy style

Save the date!
