I had the pleasure of photographing Chayala and Shloime’s wedding at the stunning Omni William Penn this past week.  And I’m excited to share this sneak peek of some of my favorite portraits from the day.  It was a full day of fun with all of the traditions that come with a Jewish Orthodox wedding, and I will have tons of photos to share from their ceremony and reception in my next post.  There are also more great portraits to share once I’m done with the edit on this wedding, but for now here are a few teasers.   The first two portraits are by Alex.

We headed over to Mellon Square for a few portraits of the lovely Chayala. We had great weather and Chayala really had fun with it. What a great start to the day!

Then we met up with Shloime for some portraits in the lobby. I really like that they allowed time in their schedule for portraits before the ceremony. It was nice to get to spend some time with them and they both just shined. I couldn’t wait to see them together for the first time as man and wife!

After the ceremony, we did a few more portraits of the two of them together around the hotel and out on Grant Street. This one by Alex, is really magical. They just waited for the walking signal and then Shloime turned Chayala across the cross walk. I love dancing shots and the city lights in the background are another weakness of mine, so this is a new favorite for sure!

And here’s one more shot of the two of them in the lobby before we headed up to their reception. Stay tuned for more to come next week!
