Some of you may know I was engaged and what felt like a lifetime I finally married the love of my life on July 29th, 2017! My now husband Joe Kitchen and I were surrounded by family and friends at the beautiful venue Power Plant Productions in Old City Philadelphia under the Ben Franklin Bridge. We had an amazing wedding photographer and friend, Jeff Wojtaszek capture the day and I can’t wait to share more photos!! Catering was provided by family friends and where I had my first job in High School George’s Market. The food spread they provided was amazing. We had chicken saltimbocca, grilled vegetables, summer shrimp medley, and penne alla vodka. Cocktail hour had a amazing spread as well with cheese, meats, figs, and bruschetta. We kept drinks easy with a variety of beer and wine. For dessert Joe and I had planned a special spread and something we both love. We had Milk Bar in New York bake up some of their signature treats such as crack pie, compost cookies, truffles (omg their truffles!!!) and for cake cutting we had their amazing birthday cake. SOOO good!
As long as it took to plan this celebratory event the night flew by in the blink of an eye. I’m so glad we had as many photographers on hand as we did. Now it’s memories and stories for a lifetime ahead.

Something New! The Pictured Kitchen
This idea between myself and fiance Joe has been tossed around for awhile; In what capacity can we work together? We are both commercial photographers specializing in different fields people automatically would assume, "You guys should combine forces and work together!" That is not something we wanted to do. I run my business and have my clients and so does Joe. Ignoring the fact though that we are together and in the same business wasn't going to work forever. We have been able to meet on this idea of working on a blog together! We both have passions for food, drink, and travel and both of us touch on this personally and professionally so it seemed to be a good platform to get started!
After a long couple days of brainstorming we were able to come up with the very creative and catchy blog The Pictured Kitchen
This has been live for about a week and we have a supporting Instagram handle @thepicturedkitchen which we are excited to populate with our personal journeys, recipes, drink tips and tricks! If you have anything you would like to contribute or comment on we would love to hear from you.
