Tina Jay Photography | Philadelphia Wedding Photographer bio picture

Welcome to my Blog-Site!

Here are a few things that make me....me:)


I love everything about Philly, from the authentic cheese steaks to the beauty of Rittenhouse Square.  I love Penn State – pretty much everyone in my immediate and extended family went to school there, and I have great memories from both my childhood years and my collegiate years.  I love my Mac... I will never be a PC again.  I love reading books on the beach and traveling for weddings.  I love my boyfriend, Jeremy.  He is a great man, and I feel lucky to have found him.  I also love our spontaneous dates in center city and remodeling our 1920s house to make it a home.  I love hanging out on our deck, talking the night away.  I love reading Vogue, and going to comedy clubs with my girlfriends.  Sometimes a girl needs nothing more than to laugh so hard her stomach hurts.  I love my family.  They are incredibly supportive of me, and I feel blessed to have each an every one of them in my life.

 

Most of all, I love documenting weddings.  I love the details that brides put together and the energy and emotion of the day.  I love how couples invite me to share in one of the most special days of their life.  I love connecting with each bride and groom, in order to bring out their unique qualities.  I love capturing the emotions of the day with my camera, so each couple can remember and hold onto those feelings for the rest of their lives.  And lastly, I love bringing a fresh perspective to a timeless tradition in this industry.

Thanks for stopping by!

Sarah and Joe: Wedding

January 16, 2010 Posted in Weddings

Sarah and Joe – where to begin?  Sarah is one of my favorite people in the whole world – you’ll never meet a more genuine and sweet girl in your entire life.  I’m so happy I met her during my freshman year at PSU, and that we’ve stayed close friends ever since.  And I think we all knew when we met Joe, that he was the one for her.  They compliment each other so well, and I’m so happy they found each other:)

Their wedding at the Waterfall Banquet Center in Wilmington, Delaware was just stunning – all of the details were absolutely perfect – so let’s get to their images:)

Gorgeous bride:

Yay!

The flowers were amazing – but what else do you expect from Mary and Dawn?  I’m so excited to say they’re doing the flowers for my own wedding!

Looooved these bridesmaid bouquets – I’ll be using these flowers for my own wedding too:)

Does Sarah look like a model or what??  I can’t even explain how amazing she looked in this dress….well wait….I’ll let the pictures do the explaining:)

Loved this hair piece!

Have you ever seen a back of a dress like this?  Phenomenal!

Let me say a little something about Mary and Dawn – to say they went above and beyond with the details for Sarah’s wedding would be an understatement.  They totally transformed this empty room to have a formal aisle – and the details at the front of the room?  Stunning!  I fell in love with their decorations – they totally made it into a beautiful winter wedding theme:

This just might be my favorite picture of the whole day:)

I’m thinking I might have to use this idea for my cake too (do you like how I’m stealing all of these ideas for my own wedding? – but I looooved how there were snowflakes imprinted in the icing!

Mary and Sarah – I love these girls!

These guys were quite the entertainers – the one on the right is Mary’s husband:)

Ahhhhh all of my PSU girls – this picture just makes me smile every single time I look at it.  I’m so lucky to have so many amazing friends in my life – love you girls!

To Sarah and Joe – thank you so much for having me be a part of your special day – I had SO much fun hanging out with you all day long Sarah!  Hope you’re enjoying the honeymoon!
