UPDATE 9/7/10-Just wanted to let you know that we received our wedding album upon arriving to our new home…everything looks wonderful!

Lee is an architect, and if you follow my blog, you  know how I frequently incorporate architecture in my portraiture…Two days after their wedding, Bride magazine contacted me requesting an image featuring an interesting Philadelphia location — I thought the above photo would fit their request, so this may be published in the upcoming Bride Philadelphia edition.  The bridesmaid dresses match the Cleopatra banner.

rebeccabarger708Lee and Brian held their nuptials at St. Matthias Catholic Church in Bala Cynwyd.  A church with, you guessed it…particularly nice architecture. I appreciate the relatively low ceiling.
