Welcome to our blog! We are married photographers based in Philadelphia, PA, but we will travel anywhere! We are so fortunate to have careers that allow us to pursue our passion for photography & we love the added bonus of getting to know some amazing people along the way.
The previous version of our blog can be found at http://lauraeatonphoto.blogspot.com
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Nikki & Brian got married a few years ago, and they realized that they hadn’t had any pictures taken together (not professionally) since then. They called me up, and we put together a shoot just before the holidays in Old City. Shooting in Old City was important to them because they travel a lot , and might be considering another move soon, so documenting their neighborhood was the perfect setting.
Thanks so much to Nikki & Brian for being such a blast to work with!
Paul and I had the honor of photographing Helen & Mel’s gorgeous wedding at the Cairnwood estate.
We always love it when couples write to each other, or share special gifts before the ceremony – Helen & Mel did both…
We had a tiny little audience during our photo session…
Mel is also a photographer, so Helen had this amazing cake made for him…
If you haven’t heard, its engagement season! The holidays and the New Year bring out everyone’s romantic side, so questions are popped and happy couples start to celebrate! We wish all of you newly engaged couples a very happy and healthy 2012 (and happy planning!).
Jamie & Alex have one of those great stories, the kind of story that makes you sigh…
Jamie was caught in the rain without an umbrella, Alex, being the gentleman that he is, offered his. They chatted on a corner in Hoboken for a short time, and when she had to leave Alex offered to let her take the umbrella… She declined, and that was it. She was gone. Alex admitted later, he wanted to ask her out, but he didn’t want her to think that the only reason he offered his umbrella (how sweet!).
The very next night they were out with their respective groups of friends and it just so happened they ended up at the same place. And they’ve been together ever since.
Fate! I just love fate!
We just had to bring out the umbrella (good thing we keep them in the car at all times!)
It was a freezing day, but Alex & Jamie made the best of it and cuddled up to keep warm – so worth it! This park/pier overlooking the New York City skyline was amazing.
My new favorite place is Lackawanna Train Station – wow. Paul and I have shot in Hoboken many, many times, but we somehow never made it here. It is now a required location if we are photographing anyone within a 25 mile radius (ok, a slight exaggeration, but worth a try).
Very fun couple – and so cute!
One of Paul’s sweet shots…
And another….
And another! My husband knows good light when he sees it! That is what I love about shooting with him, we can both be shooting the same couple, and get two completely different results.
Jamie and Alex also came to us as a referral from another wonderful couple of ours, Rebecca and Kevin (you might remember their wedding at the gorgeous Mallard Island Yacht Club). We can’t wait for Alex & Jamie’s big day!
With love,
Laura & Paul

Words can’t event describe Erin & Matt’s wedding – so this is probably something I should do (much) more often – I’ll let the images do the talking… Ok, most of the talking – but I promise, I’ll keep it short & sweet when I do.
How gorgeous are they?
Beautiful Blooms just blew us away with the flowers & details… (We could do an entire blog post just on their work, and we basically will in our next post!)
The amazing thing about One Atlantic is the incredible variety of backdrops – there are stunning panoramic views of the sea and the Atlantic City skyline, and even The Pier at Ceasars can provide a gorgeous colorful setting…
We loved using these windows as a blank canvas.
(Keep going in this post, and you’ll see how we brought in the light and background in with our other images).
So Erin & Matt’s wedding day didn’t start off with the best weather, but it definitely got better with this sunset….
And then it got better…
And even better still…
Ok, you are getting the idea at this point…
Oh, and then we found a rainbow on the other side of the building (because, you know, that sunset wasn’t really enough).
Our next post will show all of their gorgeous details and stunning reception… Thanks for stopping by!
With love,
Laura & Paul
