Here’s something a little different. Every year, the photographers of Love Life Images, Inc. document our lives for one day. Our goal is to show that documentary photography is important, and to encourage everyone to capture a little piece of your own lives. There are stories to be told and fun memories, even in the everyday routine of life. Here’s a day in my life:
Well, sort of. Longtime blog readers may remember my session with Stella the chihuahua. Several years ago, Stella’s mom Laurie and dad Andrew were living out of the country. Emily, Andrew’s sister, was taking care of Stella and arranged the session as a gift for her brother (quite a thoughtful gift, I might add!). After Emily’s failed attempts to keep Stella upon Andrew’s return, she later adopted Phoebe and called me for another session. Then Emily and Phoebe moved to New York and I thought I had seen the last of them.
A few months later Emily sent me a note asking if I’d shoot a destination wedding in Philadelphia. Turns out her Andrew was now engaged to Laurie and they loved Stella’s photos so much they wanted to know if I’d shoot their wedding. I do happen to be a wedding photographer for Love Life Images, Inc., so it’s not as crazy as it sounds, but it was the first time my dog photography has led to a wedding gig. So I consider this a FidoJournalism wedding!
Not only was it great to finally meet Andrew and Laurie, but I was so excited to shoot at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology, a beautiful venue for a wedding. It was certainly a unique atmosphere, dining and dancing amidst the relics and artifacts. It was also the perfect setting for Laurie and Andrew, who both happen to be classics scholars. It was a wonderful day and one I won’t soon forget. Perhaps the best part was when Stella and Phoebe joined the party during cocktail hour!
On to the images. Congratulations Laurie, Andrew and Stella!
Laurie gets the finishing touches…
This jewelry was handmade by Laurie’s friend…
Laurie sneaks a glance at Andrew as she prepares to walk down the aisle…
Stella made an appearance at cocktail hour!
Of course Phoebe was there too (with Emily)…
The museum provided ample opportunities for portraits, perfect for these two classics scholars…
Dinner was in the amazing Chinese Rotunda (unfortunately pictures don’t do this massive room justice!).
Dancing was in the Upper Egypt gallery…
Paris kept the dance floor packed all night.
