Official Business! A Styled Pink Announcement
In just a few days, Styled Pink will officially turn two years old! I'm so excited and this couldn't have been a better time for my official announcement... (no, there's not a sibling on the way for Celeste!)
I will be working exclusively, 100% for Styled Pink! That's right, my day job... buh bye! Over the past (almost year) I've been on maternity leave and Mike and I have been planning and testing the waters to see if we could officially take the plunge, and I'm so happy to announce, that yes, we can! Business has been great and it's time to take this part-time business into full swing! I'm so excited that I can spend 100% of my work time shooting, editing, designing albums, and keeping my clients happy and doing what I truly LOVE!
When I'm not busy (aka browsing the Internet in bed), I'm looking for new poses, new places to shoot, checking out wedding gowns- this is how I know I'm making the right choice. It's what I love to do. It's my passion. Now I'm lucky enough to do it- all. the. time.
A huge thank you to my husband, Mike, who encourages me to dream- he is amazing and proof that marriage is the best thing ever! Thank you to my clients- past, present, and future- I couldn't have done it without you! I am so appreciative of your support, referrals, and trust!
Cheers to a new chapter in this fabulous journey!
xoxo,
Diana
Because sometimes when a good song comes on at a wedding- you need to bust a move... (PS- this is also my happy dance)

Here's a sneak peek at Dustin and Melissa's gorgeous wedding at Cairnwood Estate in Bryn Athyn, PA yesterday. I am LOVING the gray and red theme!
Congress Hall Cape May Wedding Photographer: Vinny & Cassie
When I photographed Cassie and Vinny's engagement session in Philadelphia this past winter- I instantly fell for them. They are a "cool" couple- how "uncool" does this make me sound? Let me explain... they know every worthy place to visit in Philly. Their engagement session was anything but typical. They planned out three very specific locations- Philadelphia's Magic Gardens (maybe one of the coolest mosaic art galleries EVER), Percy Street Bar (one of the best BBQ restaurants), and Tattooed Mom (a bar with graffiti everywhere)- can you say, a photographer's dream? Not only are they total foodies, they also love to travel together and have been all over the globe. See- you totally want to be friends with them now. Did I mention their dance moves?? Well, you'll just have to see for yourself. Besides all of the aforementioned facts that make them awesome- they have a love for each other that is just adorable to see in person. During their First Look- I was teary eyed behind my camera. Have I mentioned I love First Looks? Enough already- take a look at their colorful wedding at one of the coolest venues I've had the privilege to shoot- Congress Hall in Cape May.
Abbie Holmes Estate Wedding Photographer: Tricia & Steve's Nautical Wedding
Some of my favorite moments from Tricia and Steve's wedding day... Tricia's excitement as she slipped into her gown- you could tell she felt absolutely gorgeous and ready to get married. Tricia as she chatted with her best friends, just minutes before the ceremony, the porch filled with laughter and well wishes. The moment Tricia's father walked her down the aisle, I got goosebumps, the expressions on their faces- full of emotion. Steve's smile as Tricia walked toward him and joined hands at the end of the aisle. The contagious smiles as they exchanged vows. Steve asking me if his wedding ring belonged on his left or right hand.
I feel so honored to be a part of their story and to capture it, as I saw it. Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Buganski, you deserve all the happiness in the world!

Tricia & Steve tied the knot yesterday- here's a little preview!
Sea Isle City Engagement Photographer: Tricia & Steve
The smell of the sea. The sound of seagulls flying overhead. The gentle rocking beneath my feet. Tricia and Steve's engagement session was unlike any other I've experienced before. As I climbed aboard the Two Dukes, Steve explained how he spends days out at sea fishing lobster on this very boat, also apart from Tricia for days at a time. Tricia and Steve have been together since high school. There are constant smiles, jokes, and playfulness that will last a lifetime. Tomorrow they will exchange their vows and start a new chapter of life together, and I couldn't be more honored to capture it for them.
