Isabella Tropea Jewelry

This fall I worked with Jill Tropea on her new line of gorgeous jewelry. It’s very sweet that Jill named Isabella Tropea Jewelry after her daughter. I photographed Jill’s wedding to Philip in 2007 and loved having the chance to work with her again. Please check out Isabella Tropea’s website and facebook page to see more of her hand crafted pieces and to learn more about the collection. I am anxious to soon be the owner of one of her unique bracelets.  Thank you to our striking model Melanie Rose Sgalambro!

New Hope for a Wedding

Alyssa & Kristopher are from Philadelphia; they rode with motorcycle to our pre-wedding meeting this past spring.  I think they would agree that posing in the middle of Broad Street in Center City at night was a good warm-up before their wedding day 🙂 

 

Alyssa and Kristopher got married at their family’s beautiful property in New Hope, PA. They draped long white sheers from the trees over their ceremony spot and veils laden with porcelain stars to add to their “Under the Moon in June” wedding theme. There were classical musicians for their ceremony and candles floating in the pool next to the reception tent. Their first dance was quite a sexy Argentine Tango. It was such a photogenic wedding with the perfect weather, romantic theme, and Alyssa & Kris smiling and carefree all day. 

Alyssa and Kris, I really enjoyed working with you and your families!  It was great of Janine to introduce us while we were at the Proximity Gallery for the gallery opening this past April. You both have such fun loving, sincere personalities…thank you for having me as your photographer! ~Jenifer

September 8, 2010 - 12:28 pm Jenifer - ha, thank you Kisha! Yes it's a pretty cool job to photograph happy people all dressed up on a nice day ;)

September 8, 2010 - 3:17 pm Yvette - These are fantastic Jen. You are soooo good at capturing the moment, those little quiet moments that people tend to over look. It's that artistic eye, seeing those little details that make any photo come alive. Hope you had the chance to jump in the pool at the end. : )

September 8, 2010 - 3:28 pm Jenifer - Thanks a lot Yvette :)You are so great with your feedback. I appreciate it ...coming from such a talented artist.
