I shot Erica and Greg’s engagement session a few months ago, and knew they were up for anything when Erica gave Greg a piggy back ride! Well, today was pretty much more of the same. I have to applaud them for giving me tons of time to photograph them. I can’t stress enough how important it is that I get a good amount of time with the bride and groom for photography, and you can see from the results below that it really pays off! Also, today is a perfect example of why I tell my brides NOT to obsessively check the weather forecasts days in advance of their wedding. Yes, it did rain today, but only during Erica’s prep up until the middle of the ceremony. Once we came out of the church it was just overcast the rest of the day. By the way, overcast is GREAT for photography, although a little sun flare here and there is nice too! I have to tell you about a funny thing that happened right before the reception began. I was up on a ladder getting my overhead table shot when a waiter came out carrying a big tray of little pats of butter. All the sudden I hear this big CRASH! Yep, he tripped and the butter went everywhere. This wasn’t really the funny part though. Then a chef came out from the kitchen to see what happened. After he saw it, he started calling the waiter butter fingers! I almost fell off my ladder from laughing so hard. It was all done in good fun, and more importantly, all the butter was discarded and replaced. Erica and Greg’s reception took place at the beautiful Pen Ryn Mansion in Bensalem Pennsylvania. It was my true pleasure photographing Erica and Greg’s wedding today. They are a really sweet couple, and I think it shows in their photographs. Congratulations guys! PS, enjoy your slide show at the bottom of this post. My way of saying thanks for giving me lots of time for photography!
I love how none of the other bride’s maids have their eyes open.
Fave!
This shot is so funny!

the bridal party beneath the two trees… BRILLIANT!
+1 on the use of the trees! Also the ring shot is cool!
Super gorgeous.. I can’t pick a favorite.
I thought these were beautiful photos
Todd…this has got to be about the 20th time I’ve looked at our wedding photos, and I still can’t get over what an incredible job you did. I have to say, as avid “blog watchers” and having seen the great photos you’ve made for other brides and grooms and after seeing our engagement session photos, our expectations were pretty high. Well let me say, you have FAR exceeded our expectations! We’ve given our family and friends this link to see our pictures and we’ve received so many wonderful comments. What’s meant a lot to us is that most people have made remarks on what a great job you did taking such beautiful pictures, but at the same time capturing our personalities. Thank so much for helping us re-live the happiest day of our life every time we look at your photos.
PS. And thanks for the bonus slideshow…you rock!
Wow!!! The pictures are sooo gorgeous and I loved the slide show it brought tears to my eyes. Erica you look amazing and you two look so in love!! Can’t wait to see more :0)
Amazing pictures, I am glad that we ended up doing the pictures by the river. I wish Greg and Erica would have let us know about their photographer before our wedding! First Class! You really capture the emotion of what took that place day.
A tear is falling down my cheek. Those pictures are absolutely amazing. This photographer should be recommended to everyone. He captured the love you to have for each other and the fun we all have together. They are phenomenol. Thank you for letting me share in this day. I love you !
