I was looking forward to photographing Rachel and Alex at Cairnwood as I’ve heard so many things about it. Our day started at the Vanity salon in Philly where the girls got their hair and makeup done, followed by a trolley trip to the estates. Outside the property surrounded by castles and it feels like a fairy tale. The space inside is very well balanced and well thought out with many options for photography. I thoroughly enjoyed using film with my Mamiya RZ67 along with my digital cameras! We had a gorgeous day, a beautiful wedding and yes, the love birds sealed the deal …



We had a bumpy, but fun ride to Cairnwood.
Dad’s cuff links were jumping off the sleeve!











Alex’s dad getting the last detail put on.





Rachel was glowing…
… and bridesmaids were recollecting memories and full of emotions. 











Being on top of the stairs during the toasts put Rachel and Alex in a spot light.



So unbelievably beautiful! It captured the night so well! I am so happy for Rachel and Alex. You did such a great job!

These, by far, are the most beautiful wedding pictures I have ever seen. You are a true artist, and a great person. Speaking with you at the salon confirmed that. Great prosperity for you and your business. Pat Grimm
Gene, another job superbly done!
Oh, thanks so much, everyone!
The pictures are awesome. You are an artist. I can’t wait to see all the pictures.

Gene – Wonderful job!!!! I can’t wait to see the rest! Two of my favs so far are the shot of the wedding ceremony in front of Cairnwood and the black and white of Rachel & Alex on the balcony, but they are ALL sooooo amazing!!!!!
I hate you! …actually I love you.
*checks photos out again*
Nope, I hate you. I could never be that good.
*thinks about how lucky I am to have such a talented photographer as a buddy*
Maybe I love you.
