Peter Doyle has been photographing the world around him ever since his oldest brother passed down a dented and fire damaged Pentax camera. In the 20 years since that time, Peter has pursued his desire to photograph people and places with an eye towards honest expressions and intriguing stories. After studying at Tyler School of Art, he began shooting for magazines, corporations, and documentary projects. His photographs have been exhibited around the US, Europe, and are included in the Philadelphia Museum of Art Collections. [Philadelphia Wedding Photographer]

I am an outgoing, driven, high energy, newly married, smitten husband to my amazing, book-nerd, analytical, gorgeous, math-loving, super supportive wife. We are spreading our roots in a small suburb just outside Philadelphia. We love our 100 year old home and all its quirks, hosting a good party, the beach, reading together, and eating at Olive Garden way too often. I’ve got a love for the color combination blue & yellow, running, bicycling, photography as a way to explore the world around me, vegetarian foods, a good pair of jeans, and ALL things Harry Potter (we planned our honeymoon around HP world at Universal Studios). My brain runs at 1,000 miles an hour. I have a new-found enjoyment for writing. And, in all honesty, my favorite part of being a photographer is hearing the excitement and happiness in my couples' voices after I share their images with them! [Philadelphia Wedding Photographer]
