whenever you call
I had a great time hanging out with Nella and Ed back in September for their engagement shoot , and I was VERY excited to start off my wedding season with them in Philly this past weekend.
Nella is such a sweetheart, always making sure everyone else was taken care of before herself, even ON her wedding day! Her super large, and FUN family came in from all over the world to attend her wedding, including her sister, Kat, her maid-of-honor. Their sisterly bond is admirable, and I enjoyed getting to photograph them behind-the-scenes in the morning (see below). Kat and I go back to college where we were brothers in Phi Sigma Pi (National Honors Fraternity….yes, I am a HUGE nerd!).
Ed is down-to-earth, laid back, and it is obvious that he is very much in love with his wife. Even though he isn’t a fan of taking pictures, he was more than willing to pose in front of his truck while I did a few shots of him and his best man. He assured me that Nella would understand. Even though Ed’s intermediate family is pretty big, they all seem to be incredibly close. The mother-son dance was enjoyable to shoot, especially since they kept making each other laugh.
Overall, the celebration was amazing, and I couldn’t be happier for these two lovebirds.
Congrats Nella and Ed! Have fun in Hawaii!
