“Sorry We’re Closed” is one of my favorite moments in my 2015 wedding season and proof that organic moments in life (and weddings) are WAY better than anything staged. JD is owner of the Manayunk novelty shop, Johnny Destructo’s Hero Complex (If you have not been, go!). He’s seen in the background of this image…

When Liz and I met for her wedding consult she began with the normal details that all brides recount. She chatted at a quick clip about the location – the Society Hill Dance Academy, the timeline and various other details. She envisioned an intimate setting with her and Bob’s closest friends and family – a…

kristenkiddphotography: I have discussed dire circumstances at hospitals in Honduras in my previous posts. I want to take a moment and reflect on the beautiful people and culture of Honduras. I had the pleasure visiting this wonderful country shortly after a coup and during the Independence Day Celebrations. Nationalism was at high during that time…

I am absolutely in love with this reveal. In case you don’t know, the reveal is a planned, captured moment for the bride and groom to see one another before the ceremony. On a practical side, it’s a wonderful way to get all of the formals out of the way so the couple can enjoy…

A few weeks ago I participated in my favorite bridal event; Brides Against Breast Cancer. I don’t generally work bridal expos or shows. It’s not my scene. Most of my wonderful couples comes from word of mouth and by putting my face out there in other, creative ways (Check out some of those beautiful couples…

Jill called me from Wisconsin. Wait. Maybe it was Minnesota. The only thing I remember is that when she told me, I thought, “Colder than Philadelphia.” and I shuttered a little.

In honor of him and his courageous fight, I wanted to repost this blog: I’ve thought a lot about Danny since my photo session with him and his family Dec 13th. He has Tay-Sachs Disease, which you’ve likely never heard of . Tay-Sachs, according to…

A certain generation will be elated to know that Jem and the Holograms lives! They apparently changed their names to Prince Rama and learned to write music epically better than Jem ever did, but I guarantee the same elation one had a five years old, dancing in the mirror with hair brush in hand singing…

As I passed Kate Ferencz in the bathroom of the First Unitarian Church, my initial thought was, “Wow. These hipsters have really kicked it up a notch.” Smeared in dirt (or makeup or something), tatters of shirt dangled. Yet, somehow neatly tucked into early 20th century boy’s shorts. This was the next level, clearly. It…

On this snowy day I’m compelled to share a camera phone image – something I rarely do. However, occasionally, a moment with phone in hand will produce something truly compelling. This snap shot of my neighbor, who I adore for obvious reasons, is one such moment. She is amazing and this will not be the…
