Maureen + Spence
It was Princeton University’s alumni weekend and Maureen and Spence were in town for the festivities and decided to do a few engagement portraits. I’ll be photographing their wedding in August at the Princeton University Chapel. The two met while attending Princeton University for their undergraduate studies. Spence graduated in 2002 and Maureen in 2004. The commemorative stones for their class years are right next to each other on Nassau Hall. I do several Princeton alumni weddings each year and I have always been struck by how many Princeton alum marry each other. I would say it’s about 70% as far as my couples go. Note to self: apply to grad school at Princeton instead of joining Match.com when looking for husband!!!
What fun! 
These are great! How cool is that …tiger…thing… it’s crazy! 
Wonderful job Marie!
Alisa’s Bridal Shower 05.04.08
Well, there’s a first time for everything. I’ve never been commissioned to photograph a bridal shower and this was an incredible first; afternoon tea at the Four Seasons Hotel in Philadelphia. Check out the Sylvia Weinstock cake with candy birds and butterflies. Everything was edible, but it must be difficult to eat such a beautiful work of art. Alisa arrived in an adorable Betsey Johnson gold part dress. I have always been a big Betsey Johnson fan! Guests were treated to a delish Matino Martini in her honor! Her bridesmaids brought a tear to her eye when they presented her with a sentimental storybook of her single life. Say tuned for Alisas amazing October wedding. I know I can’t wait
Beka + Jesse
What fun! I got to drive down to Harrisburg, PA on Sunday to check out the location of Beka and Jesses September wedding and to do a few engagement portraits. I was so honored when Beka asked me to photograph her wedding. Beka Nave, of Innove Events, is one of Philadelphia’s top event planners. Whenever we work on a wedding together it always gets featured in a magazine and I expect the same of her wedding (fingers crossed). Beka is going to start sharing details of her wedding planning on Innoves blog, so you might want to check in there! She will be marring her long time love Jesse Rendell on her birthday! Let’s hope Jesse never forgets their anniversary! Jesse is the son of Pennsylvania’s Governor Ed Rendell so their wedding will be taking place at the Governors residence. Beka has big plans for the grounds! I know that Nancy Saam will be working with Beka on the décor and flowers and Peachtree and Ward will be catering the event (yumm).
Beka and Jesse wanted to do a “family portrait” with their two adorable “kids” and we then went around Harrisburg looking for sites to do fun portraits on their wedding day. I think we found a few, especially the great train station. Congratulations Beka and Jesse! I’m really looking forward to capturing your day!
Jessica + Jason
How exciting!!! One of our own, Jessica Inverso will be tying the knot in 2008. Jessica has been a long time employee of Marie Labbancz Photography, second shooting by my side for over 5 years. She also photographs weddings for us on her own as my primary associate photographer. On October 3rd of this year she will be marrying her long time love Jason in a beautiful outdoor wedding at Fonthill Castle Estate in Doylestown, PA. Jessica is an absolute wedding addict and has been planning this day for most of her life . Along with the help of Donna at Beautiful Blooms, it will be an amazing “polka dot” wedding day! I’m so excited that I will be documenting her most creative day. I don’t want to give it away but her Romana Keveza gown, which she found at Suky Occasions is so perfect for her artistic persona. Congratulations Jessica and Jason! Everyone here at Marie Labbancz Photography can’t wait to share in your special creation!
I love the dating advice! Great pics!
