Vlad and Lauren Shamritsky - March 20, 2010

I attending Lauren and Vlad's wedding yesterday as a guest. They will be my brother and sister - in - law when I marry Lauren's brother Allan this October.

The wedding was held at the Union League of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania. The drive there wasn't the best thing I have ever done, however, the drive was well worth it. The Union League is absolutely stunning with all of the fresh wood and grand staircases throughout the building as well as the Inn (where many guests including myself stayed).

The ceremony started around 5pm, cocktails to follow, then a delicious sit-down dinner followed by more dancing than my shoes could handle!

Without further delay, here are just some of the images from Lauren and Vlad's wedding, Enjoy!

March has creeped up on me this year because it is already wedding season! I feel like I am just getting over Christmas and the first day of Spring is next week!

So right around Christmas, Renee calls me and asks if I would be able to shoot her wedding. I was more than excited because this means that I get to not only photograph another wedding, but head to my favorite reception hall, The Lily Lake. (Ok, so I'm biased! I love it because it's mine! There, you've caught me).

So on March 12, 2010, I arrived at the Lily Lake after sitting in the infamous parking lot known as Interstate-84 at about 5:30pm. The ceremony started on time and 6pm and I must say that it was the quickest ceremony I have ever witnessed! It was straight and to the point, just the way I like it!

After the ceremony, the bride and groom did their first dance, then the bride was whisked away by her mother and mother-in-law (with me following close behind) to do the bride's bustle. Well, that was quite a task in itself because those buttons were not easy to fasten by any means. About 6 hands and some groaning later, we had the bustle done and the festivities could finally begin with the bride and groom.

It was a very relaxed and fun wedding. Thank you Keith and Renee for allowing me to be part of such an important day for the both of you!


Ok, Enough chit chat..... on to the pictures! (Since that is what you are all here for anyway)
