Introducing the Sigovichs!! 🔔🕊️💛

Megan & Eric’s wedding day was an absolute dream!! The two were surrounded by friends, family, & Eric’s dog, Oakley, at Springton Manor House in Glenn Mills – with the absolute best weather Pennsylvania has to offer!

There was a peace throughout the entire day, as well as an abundance of JOY & teary eyes 🥲 As the two became one, there was a tangible & sweet feeling that I find is best described from the scripture in Genesis, “this one at last!”

Their celebration continued with a funfetti cake & full dance floor all night long!! It was the sweetest honor to be a part of this beautiful day 🎞️✨

INTRODUCING MR. & MRS. FOWLER!!

Their wedding day was a beautiful reminder of the Lord’s faithfulness, & His perfect timing 🥹🕊️ Years went by and the two were at the same place, at the same time, without meeting each other. Lauren & Andy officially met at a Hartford Yard Goats baseball game. The two quickly realized that they had spent the past 12+ years “just missing” each other. Most notably, they lived on the same dorm hall at University of Connecticut during their junior year!

Their faith & trust in the Lord’s plan continued to grow stronger as they awaited the day when they would receive their Vocation. For some of those years of waiting, I joined Lauren in praying an annual novena to Saint Anne. I found myself teary eyed throughout their wedding day – it was a great JOY to witness the Lord answering this prayer 🤍

The two of them share a devotion to Blessed Michael McGivney, the founder of Knights of Columbus, whose tomb is located at Saint Mary’s Catholic Church in New Haven, Connecticut. It was at this church where they first said “I love you,” where Andy proposed, & where they became one!!

It was the greatest honor to have a front row seat to these two becoming one on the feast of the Coronation of Mary 👑!! Many congratulations to the Fowlers!!

Introducing Mr. & Mrs. Pollard 🕊️✨!!

This wedding day was extra special for me to photograph. For the past few years, a group of gals have prayed a novena to Saint Anne each July. One of the intentions Erin brought to the novena each year was for her future spouse. The Lord never misses an opportunity to show His faithfulness through the smallest details 🥹 – the day before Saint Anne’s feast day Erin & Walker became one!!

Their wedding feast was a beautiful reflection of their relationship – the day was joyful, so fun, & sacred! Erin & Walker met while serving as FOCUS missionaries. The year began with Erin as the team director, & Walker on a first year dating fast. Needless to say, things would have been a bit complicated if the two shared how they felt in the beginning of the school year, so they waited. At the end of the year, the two (rather timidly) shared how they felt. I am sure you can guess how the conversation went!

It was the sweetest honor to be asked to document this wedding day 🤎🎞️!! Many congratulations to the newest Pollards!!

Introducing Mr. & Mrs. Kingsmill!! 🕊️🌸

Their wedding day was everything the two hoped for – a beautifully sacred liturgy, followed by a packed dance floor all night long!

Arianna & Harry met in college at Franciscan University. The two quickly became friends after they both transferred in. At the time, no one expected this love story to unfold, especially because Harry was discerning the priesthood.

Arianna’s bridesmaid noted they she was shocked when the two started dating, because they spent most of college getting into arguments with each other!

The two become one at Mater Ecclesiae Parish in Berlin, New Jersey. The couple was surrounded by friends & family from every season of their lives! Following the Mass, their nuptials were celebrated at the Community House of Moorestown.

It was an honor to document the beauty of this wedding feast ✨🫶🏻🎞️!!

Lauren & Ryan are getting married!! 🎞️🕊️

This engagement session was the sweetest little New England adventure consisting of a day trip to Boston, a short drive to Castle Rock in Massachusetts, & a walk through their favorite park in the city!

I cannot wait to document these two becoming one in April! 🤎

INTRODUCING THE KEES!!

This past Saturday was the perfect July day for Jenna & Bryan’s colorful Philly wedding 💛

Their love story began in high school, when Bryan needed a date to prom. With just one week’s notice, he asked Jenna to join him – with an assist from Bryan’s older brother, who was Jenna’s track coach.

A last-minute prom date quickly became something so much more after the two spent the entire night on the dance floor!

Documenting a wedding day for a couple whose story began as teenagers is incredibly special. The day is filled with a joyful anticipation, as well as a profound sense of peace. I often think of the scripture verse from Genesis, “This one, at last.” At last, the two become one, surrounded by friends & family who have witnessed their relationship over the past ten (!!) years.

As a Philly wedding photographer, I felt this wedding was a pretty huge milestone for me professionally… it was the first time we have documented a wedding with Mummers! The Mummers are truly one of a kind South Philly traditions. Bryan’s parents organized this as a surprise for the bride & groom!

It was an honor to be a part of this beautiful day!! Many congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Kee!! 🕊️🫶🏻🎞️

June was the sweetest month of “Nun Girl Summer” – beginning with a Corpus Christi procession in our little town, & ending with the at Catholic University 🕊️🌸

Hi, friend! I am so happy you’re here!! We’re Kennedy (& Jacob) Bucko – a Catholic husband wife duo documenting the sacredness of life on photo & video based in the suburbs of Philadelphia 🕊️✨

Our business was initially inspired by our own desire to have a Catholic photographer document our wedding day in 2022. The name Merciful Love Co. truly came from prayer, honoring the teachings of Saint Therese of Lisieux on the Father’s Merciful Love 🥀

When Jacob was in high school, he started a photography business. He photographed his first wedding when he was sixteen (!!) years old. The two of us met while in college at Temple University, & the idea for this business came about while planning our own wedding. We photographed our first wedding together when we were engaged, & I fell in love with weddings! As the word-of-mouth referrals quickly spread, I ended up going full-time with this business during our first year of marriage.

The Lord has taken us on been a beautiful journey as we have grown this buisness! It is the sweetest honor to be invited into a couple’s love story & document the sacredness of life in every season 🎞️🤎

Let’s be friends!! 💌

The Coombs!! ✨🕊️🎞️

This day could not have been more perfect – it was sacred, glorious, & truly felt like a foretaste of Heaven. Sophia & Erik fell in love while navigating a long distance relationship between Philly and New York City. Their wedding day was a beautiful celebration of all that the Lord has done to bring these two together!

The two became one at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa, a church that has meant so much to Sophia since she was a little girl. The couple was joined by their friends & family at Holly Hedge Estate to celebrate their nuptials!

Their JOY was tangible at every part of the day. The entire day was a combination of smiles, tears, & cheers!

It was the sweetest honor to document their love!! Many congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Coombs!!
