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!

Angela and Steve: Wedding

July 1, 2010 Posted in Weddings

Last weekend I was able to shoot a wedding with April, which was awesome….it’s always fun to see how other photographers work:) I was so glad I got to tag along with her for Angela & Steve’s wedding….such a great couple! They were just so happy and excited to be getting married, and you could really feel that excitement all day:)

Angela and Steve held their reception at Nostalgia, and we stopped for pictures at Byers’ Choice. It was the first time I shot at Byers’ Choice, and I can’t wait to stop there again – SO many awesome locations there:)

I was lovin’ her blue shoes:

And impromptu dance with dad in the hotel room:)

Isn’t her expression the cutest??

My favorite from the day – I looove shooting in fields!

Loved this little guy – pure boredom in church:) Then check out the t-shirts they wore in the reception! Awesome idea:

Hands DOWN one of the best father/daughter dances I’ve seen. It started off like the typical dance:

Then about half way through Airforce 1 (a rap song hah) came on – Angela’s dad didn’t know it was coming on, so at first he just started laughing, but then threw his coat to his wife (top left), and started going all out – he knew every.single.word. Too funny!
