Two17 Photo & Cinema are Philadelphia wedding photographers. Two-seventeen has long been in my wife, Dawn's, family history.

217, many assume this number represents an address, birth date or anniversary, however 217 symbolizes so much more. Here is her story:

The sentiment behind 217 originated over 55 years ago, when my mother, Shirley Haughton was a little girl. Shirley was the youngest of eight children, who idolized her older sister Ella May. Whenever Shirley told Ella May how much she loved her, Ella May responded

jokingly "How much?" As little sisters often do, Shirley tried to impress Ella May by telling her the largest number she could think of, "Two Hundred and Seventeen." This quickly became a game the two sisters played over and over again. Shirley would tell Ella May she loved her two hundred and seventeen meaning the largest amount known to her little heart. To this day, Shirley and Ella May who are in their sixties and seventies, respectfully, sign every card & letter and conclude every conversation with "I love you, 217". As far back as I can remember my mom has told my sister, Gina, and I that she loves us 217. I don't think we ever questioned or asked what it meant. We knew intrinsically the weight 217 carried when our mom said it. 217 was the greatest amount of love possible and nothing could be more than that love she felt for us. We have continued 217 as a sentiment in our own lives and families. You will see 217 written on every birthday card, holiday card, and letter to family and close friends. Pete and I even have 217 engraved on our wedding bands. There is no better way for us to express respect, commitment and unconditional love than those three numbers. The women of 217 are honored that it's meaning lives on through Pete's photography in capturing the images of unconditional love at it's most intimate and celebrated moments. We are excited to incorporate the meaning of 217 into our family's business. We hope to share our passion and love of photography with you and your family. I Look forward to hearing from you! Dawn & Pete Malone

Megan, Marco and their two beautiful boys met with me last week for a family photo session on a warm and gorgeous summer evening in Bucks County. I love so many of the photos that we were able to capture for them. These are just a small handful of some of my favorites.

I met Lilly and her family the other day at their home just down the street from my house. Her fur sibling was just getting used to sharing their parents but was quite happy to have a visitor. And Lilly’s parents, while a bit sleep deprived, were so happy to share the joy of welcoming their daughter with me. I love how these photos turned out for Lilly’s very first photo session. Thank you guys for having me!

We have photographed this family since before they were a family. Liz, Drew and I go way back to a frigid day in January on their engagement session in Ambler. The most recent session in late June was a hot & humid family session with their now family of 5. Always a joy seeing you guys and being able to capture your growing family!

Some teaser pics from Kaethe & Christopher’s fairytale wedding at Aldie Mansion last weekend. These two were just perfect together and full of classic romance. Kaethe & Christopher’s vows were something to be remembered for a long, long time. Congratulations you two. Thanks for having us….and I can’t wait to get the Super-8 film back from processing. It’s gonna be incredible!

Bridget & John’s Philadelphia engagement session that almost didn’t happen before it did happen and then almost didn’t happen AGAIN because of the storm. We had to be quick with this one to squeeze as much in before the rain as we could. And then it POURED so we got cocktails! And then it stopped so we finished up our session that almost wasn’t, on Broad Street…..and then I was without power for 2 days because of said storm. But here are some pics of Bridget & John enjoying an evening together in Philadelphia before, during and after a nasty storm.
