• *New Year, New Me* Am I Right???⠀ Yes, I know it’s February but the last month has been a blur so I'm claiming a reset.⠀ ⠀ Annnd *takes a deep breath* I changed my Instagram handle. *phew*⠀ Something so small yet feels like a big deal. Mostly because it feels like a conscious shift… but there have been a lot of conscious shifts lately so let's keep that train a-rollin.⠀ I’m stepping into my *actual* name. And while I’ll always be the lass behind the lens, I’m also proud to be Kerry. So hey, #growth⠀ ⠀ It wasn’t until today, reviewing my metrics before my call with my coach @Karriebrady , that I had a full-circle realization with the number 8.⠀ ⠀ 🍀In 2019, my first year as a full-time wedding photographer, I had 8 incredible wedding couples trust me to walk with them on their wedding day. Not to mention the countless engagement, family, newborn, and small businesses that invited me to photograph their lives.⠀ . . 🍀So far, 2020 has 18 rockstar wedding couples ready to party and just enough room for 5 more. I. AM. SO. LUCKY. To photograph so many beautiful, goofy, connected ~LoVeRs~ (in Tay’s airy song voice)!!!⠀ . . 🍀And 2021, as of right now, has 8 gorgeous wedding couples in the Kerry Anne Photography family. EIGHT. And that’s just in the first half of the year. Not even counting the full Fall wedding season yet. I PINCH MYSELF that I get to be part of your legacies. Cause honestly, you’re part of mine too.⠀ ⠀ So this year will be a year of continued growth, of implementing better systems to better care for my clients, of continuing to expand and invest in relationships, and of reveling in the fact that I get to do my dream job, every single day. So whether you’ve been here from the beginning or just started following along, thank you for being here and for being a part of my dream. I can’t tell you how much these realizations mean to me and they truly wouldn’t be possible without each of you

  • All these California sunsets have me dreaming about Jenna and Shane’s intimate summer beach wedding. After they said their Vows and promised their lives to one another, we went down to the beach for some newlywed portraits- just the two of them. ⠀ ⠀ The sky lit up with the most beautiful pinks and purples as we danced around the sand. And the way Shane looked at his bride—-oh lawddd! Always going to be swooning over these two and their love 💕⠀ ⠀ Florals: @stephanie_bar⠀ Dress: @bhldn . . . #weddingphotography #weddingphotographer #kerryannephotography #philadelphiaengagement #phillyengagementphotographer #engagementphotographer #njweddingphotographer #theknot #phillybride #phillybrideguide #deeplyauthentic #philadelphiaweddingphotographer #njbride #theknotrealweddings #weddingchicks #destinationweddingphotographer #travelweddingphotographer #KerryAnneWeddings #adventurousstorytellers #elopementlove #authenticlove #junebugweddings #elopementphotographer #belovedstories #adventurouslovestories #adventurouscouples #LOVEANDWILDHEARTS #radlovestories #gramyourwedding #philadelphiabride

  • So, here it is. The life update I've kind of been avoiding and unsure of how to share. But also realized in my not-sharing that I felt like I was hiding something, which isn't my M-O. Bits and fragmented pieces don't work for me. Not for long anyway. So here goes. Read on if you'd like...⠀ 🙃⠀ I've felt like this photo for the past few months: like my world's been turned upside down. Since the end of the summer, I was preparing to move to DC. I planned styled shoots and networked with DC vendors and went down to photograph more and more couples and families. But something in my gut kept telling me to stop. To step back. Re-assess. Slow down and feel into what my body was trying to tell me. ⠀ 🚦⠀ So I slowed down. I went to my myofascial release specialist multiple times. I did more reiki on myself. I meditated. I prayed a lot. I re-read Tiny, Beautiful Things by Cheryl Strayed (read it- it's a doozy). And I finally listened. And my body told me to stay. To release. To trust her and to please not silence her again. And I had one of the hardest conversations I've had to have, but in doing so, I was trusting my heart. And he left for DC. And I stayed. ⠀ 🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔⠀ So, my message is the same as it's always been: Listen. Listen to your body and the wisdom it wants to share with you. Get to know the difference between what are old feelings coming back up and what’s current. Have the hard conversations (because big conversations are rarely one-and-done) as difficult as they will be. And to pull from @andymaurer_ at @impactweddingsummit You deserve to be seen. You deserve to be whole. And you deserve to be loved. Always 💕

  • One of the coolest parts of the positions I hold is helping you shape your wedding day to be exactly yours. ⠀ ⠀ If you want to get ready together, do it. Waking up and spending your whole wedding day with the love of your life sounds like a pretty great start to your marriage story, if you ask me. So all my couples considering who they want with them as they put on their wedding clothes, know that wanting to be with one another, together, is a perfectly fitting answer. Do what feels best for you and your relationship. ⠀ ⠀ I’ll always be here to back you up 💜 and to bounce things off of if you need extra ears. . . . .

  • Lots and lots of things have been happening behind the scenes since the New Year. So, social media has taken a bit of a back seat. ⠀ ⠀ But this past Friday I had the honor of witnessing, both formally as a signed witness, and from my favorite place- behind my lens, an absolutely beautiful city hall elopement. It’s a really special position I get to hold, to be so intimately included in the details of your lives. ⠀ ⠀ Thank you, to all of the humans who have invited me into the behind-the-scenes stories of their lives. Looking forward to sharing more from this recent season. There have been so many moments that took my breath away, and I’m sure they’ll do the same for you when you see them! . . . . #philadelphia #phillylove #phillyphotographer #lassbehindthelens #sonyalpha #kerryannephotography #goaldigger #goaldiggerpodcast #igersphilly #philadelphiaphotographer #philadelphiaweddingphotographer #blogger #bloggerphotographer #honestly #portraits #powerofportraits #belovedstories #njweddingphotographer #njbride #njbridetobe #destinationweddingphotographer #destinationweddingphotography #gratefulheart #community #womeninbusiness #theirresistables #junebugweddings #thatsdarling #cityhallwedding #cityhallelopement
