Free Consultation
One of my favorite things about being a wedding photographer is getting to hear a couples love story! It's a time that should be celebrated, so I'll bring the champagne! During my free consultation, we'll enjoy some champagne, share some stories and photos and discuss your plans for your big day. To get started, all I ask is for your to fill out the form on the right. If forms aren't your thing, then feel free to give me a call or send me an email.
I can't wait to speak with you!

“We’ve been together since May of 2015. We met through mutual friends back in 2012, and reconnected three years later. Fast forward a few more years and we bought a 100 year old house in June of 2019, so we’ve been spending our free time restoring it together! When we’re not busy with the house, we love taking walks with our dog Boomer”.
Being one of the most easy going couples I’ve ever worked created this photographers dream day: Not only was it a completely enjoyable, fun day but we actually were ahead of schedule ALL day😄
Not one second of catch up, it was amazing and easy going, just like Gabi & Dom! Many thanks to Gabrielle, Dom and their families for making us feel right at home all day.
Cheers and a lifetime of happiness to Mr. & Mrs. DeLaurentis🥂❤️

“ We met at a wedding, on the dance floor” Gabrielle told me…”Mike worked with the groom and I knew the bride. Mike danced up to me bobbing his head and asked me out on a date”😂
That story of how Gabrielle and Mike met perfectly sums them up: super fun, easy going, loving people. Leading up to their wedding day, I had many hours of enjoyable conversations with them that had absolutely nothing to do with weddings! They (and their families) make you feel like you’ve known them for 20 years even though you just met an hour ago.
Cheers, lots of love and a lifetime of joy to Gabrielle and Mike!❤️❤️ #forevertheflannerys

Imagine moving while planning your wedding😳
Then imagine that move is from Washington DC to Manhattan!!😩
Well, I’m pleased to report that Ali and Alex made that move, didn’t kill each other and they’ll be back in DC in a couple of weeks to celebrate their wedding day. Then go back home to NYC afterwards😂
In the meantime, we took a stroll through Central Park and had some fun❤️

@westvirginiau was the location where this love story begins:
“John and I met through his fraternity and my sorority’s intramural flag football team. We started speaking during games, one thing led to another and then we started dating in the fall of 2017”.
Sunrise proposal?❤️ 🌅:
“John’s original plan was to propose while we were on a trip to Italy but our trip was canceled due to Covid so his plan needed to change.
John and I went to North Myrtle Beach to take a long walk and watch the sunrise. Once we finished our walk and we’re heading back to our car, John asked me to turn around and take a picture. When I turned back to him, he was on one knee👍❤️
This was an incredibly fun day and a GREAT party and celebration. Everything I’ve heard about WVU being a super fun, close knit group of alumni was on display all night. Congratulations to Sabrina and John!!

Fate is defined “the development of events beyond a person’s control, regarded as determined by a supernatural power.” Here’s how Shana and Kyle met: “Kyle was at a friends birthday celebration and he convinced his boys to go to a bar called U-Bahn so he could meet up with a girl he’d been talking to on Tinder. He met her at the bar and quickly caught on that she was essentially using him for a free drink more than anything else😩
Disappointed, he turned back to rejoin his group of friends. As he did, he noticed a girl with gorgeous eyes walk by and knew that he’d regret never introducing himself.
He did, met Shana and the rest is history. Now THAT is fate💕
Other than the fact that Shana’s a Patriots fan and Kyle is a Chiefs fan😳, they are absolutely perfect together!
Best wishes and a lifetime of joy to Mr. & Mrs. Motts. We were thankful to be a part of their amazing day!! #mottsoflove

Deanna & Bobby pt. 2❤️
Manifestation essentially is “bringing something tangible into your life through attraction and belief, i.e. if you think it, it will come.” With that in mind, check out what Deanna explained to me regarding her new husband:
“I was always in love with Bobby since middle school. I love his smile and how goofy he can be. I love how relaxed he is about everything in life and how easy going he is! Actually, in middle school I would write “Mrs. Aquilino” in the back of my notebooks for classes.😂
Yup, I think it’s safe to say that manifesting what you want in life is alive and well!
Congrats and a lifetime of happiness to Deanna & Bobby❤️💕

This amazing couple brought to us courtesy of the Saturday happy hour at the Whitebrier in Avalon, NJ😃💕
After a conversation and exchanging numbers at happy hour one summer afternoon, Tiff looked Kyle up on FB and decided he looked “dorky” and wasn’t into him😳
Ever persistent, Kyle texted Tiff every weekend for a month asking if she was going out that night etc….and never received a response! When they would run into each other, Kyle would offer to buy Tiff a drink , she would say “no” and go hang out with her friends (damn Tiff!)
Later in the summer, Kyle happened to walk by Tiff with two girls by his side and didn’t say hi (strong move Kyle👍) and Tiff called him out on it the next day at happy hour. After that day, they’ve been together ever since❤️❤️
It wasn’t a smooth ride for T&K getting to this day. Actually, that’s an understatement. But with amazing family, friends and each other, they made it through some obstacles and had an incredible day. And I’m not exaggerating, the Ben was f-ing LIT that night!!
Congratulations to Tiff & Kyle! Lots of love and best wishes for a beautiful life together!!
Side note: Please, in my next life, let me be able to dance even half as good as Kyle. It’s all I’m missing in my present life!

Tip Tuesday!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fall family photo season is approaching and I wanted to offer a bit of advice for parents of small children on this Tip Tuesday: R-E-L-A-X!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If your child isn't exactly "cooperating" during your session, take a deep breath and remember that they're just kids. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
YOU understand that your photo session and documenting your family is important but your 4 or 5 year thinks the bird flying in the sky is WAY cooler than taking a photo with you.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let them run around and do their thing for a little while. It gives us photographers an opportunity to capture some fun, natural moments of them in THEIR element. And most often they'll get to the point where they'll settle down with you AFTER you let them just be themselves for a little bit. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The bottom line is if you get stressed, they'll feel it and that can make for a rough session. #relax #kidsbeingkids #ralphdealphotography #nikon #family #familyphotoshoot #familyfirst #familyfun #theygrowtoofast⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

They met in Manhattan via Bumble and soon realized that they both worked about a block away from each other. They decided to meet one night after work at a midtown bar called The Liberty👍 After that night, they haven’t gone a week without seeing each other since!💕
We were so happy to finally see that Alexa, Dante and all the people they love got to celebrate after a long delay. Congrats and lots of love to the Oriente’s!!❤️❤️ #bumblesuccessstory

Tip Tuesday!!
How many times have you wanted to take a family photo, maybe for your Christmas cards, and then simply been too busy? Life gets hectic, and you find you don’t have time to wrangle all the kids and sit everyone down for a proper photo.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Or maybe you have albums full of photos of your kids, but none with you and your spouse in them because one of you is always taking the pictures.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is where a professional family photo shoot is a great idea. Instead of worrying about taking a photo yourself, you can let a professional shoot, edit, and even print the family photos, providing you with memories to cherish for the rest of your life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Head over to the blog to see my four reason why you should take family photos! Link in bio!
Farah & Matt💕💕
They love watching scary movies, tailgating, trying out new restaurants, traveling, going down the shore, cooking and spending time with their family and friends. He’s the strategic and analytical one while she leads with emotion and impulse. But they always find a way to meet in the middle and learn from each other.
Farah and Matt wanted to hit some of Philly’s popular landmarks during their engagement session. We started in Washington Square Park with champagne and a charcuterie plate from @charcuteriechicphilly and then took a ride around the city.
We had a great time, got rained on and laughed a lot. We also talked about their wedding next May which, just as a public service message to the people of the Dominican Republic:
Get ready!!
It’s gonna be an amazing celebration with Mr. & Mrs. Vogel!❤️💕

Tip Tuesday!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The time to start scheduling your fall family photo session is almost here! Here's something you'll want to consider:
Which type of photography is best for your family?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Both posed portraits and lifestyle photography have their place, and both can lead to amazing images that you will love. When choosing what type of photos you want to have taken for your portraits, it’s important to know what your photographer’s style is and what types of sessions they offer. By taking to and working with them, you can plan out a session that captures your genuine personality and provides you with images you’ll love.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Head over to the blog to see the different between lifestyle vs posed photography! Link in bio!
