Behind the Lens: Crafting Authentic Wedding Stories with Pat Brogan

Every wedding is filled with moments—big and small—that shape the story of the day. Some are planned, some unfold naturally, and all of them deserve to be captured in a way that feels real. To get a closer look at how we approach wedding storytelling, we sat down with Pat

Pop-Up Weddings: Love in the Time of Trespassing

Pop-up weddings are shaking up the traditional nuptial scene, blending the surprise of a flash mob with the romance of a wedding. Imagine saying ‘I do’ amidst the everyday bustle of a coffee shop or between the shelves of a craft store. These weddings defy the norm, often foregoing formal

Photographer Spotlight: Chloe

Chloe always finds something a little extra special in a session. Whether it’s silliness bursting out of a child in a moment of play with their parents, or the tenderness of a hug from grandma on a wedding day, Chloe always sees and captures it with a perspective that brings

How can I design an album?

I’ve always said that designing albums is my favorite part of my job. It lets me be a small part of someone’s story, creating something that they and future generations in their family will look at for years to come. I can’t help being a sentimental person! Even though having

Trend Alert! Unique Suits

When it comes to wedding-day style, much of the emphasis is put on gowns. Endless styles (a-line, mermaid, ballgown, etc.), endless fabrics (lace, chiffon, silk, taffeta, brocade, satin, organza…), and endless media dedicated to finding just the right dress, but almost no one talks about wedding day style for suit-wearers.

It’s Your Wedding, Cry If You Want To

Here at JPG we LOVE crying! Seriously. It’s one of our many idiosyncrasies, but truly, we appreciate tears because we recognize how powerful they are.

PHL Diversity Second and Third Sneak Peeks

As the PHL Diversity fundraising luncheon nears JPG has been able to spend more time with the PHL CVB and PHL Diversity at their second and third previews. In late August we went to the Westin to document their cocktail reception. The first preview I couldn’t stop trying the mojito’s,

We Want YOU to Pick Gustavo as Your Primary Photographer

We love Gustavo! What a handsome bastard…and we’re not referring to the Gidjuni dog, Gus (although he’s pretty cute too). After thousands of photography hours and over a year of experience with us, we have a new senior associate at JPG. Gustavo has been with us since 2011 and is

Suzy and Kris’s Myrtle Beach Destination Wedding

Take a beach view, a QVC host, and a lot of belly dancing, and you may very well have the perfect summer wedding, at least that’s what Rebecca and I discovered at Suzy and Kris’ fabulous Myrtle Beach destination wedding this June. The bride and groom got ready at the elegant
