Traditionally speaking, often times it is the couple’s families who help pay for their wedding. However, unfortunately that’s just not possible for everyone, especially these days when the cost of weddings can quickly and easily get out of control. Some couples find themselves in the position of paying for all of their own wedding expenses, which can be quite the financial burden to take on, and about 40% of Millennials end up in this boat. So, how can you stick to your allotted...Read more

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]
