A trip to Nashville is not complete without stopping by the Loveless Cafe for some country ham and biscuits. These shots are from a recent trip with my younger brother when I was in town for a wedding. Can’t wait for my next stop out there! (shot on Fuji Pro 800z)
sheena + corey
Sheena and Corey are probably two of the sweetest people in the world and I was so excited to photograph the wedding after we met for their engagement shoot in Austin. Their wedding was held on a hot day in San Antonio at the McNay Art Museum, but the beautiful ceremony and all of the love surrounding them seemed to make the heat melt away.
martha’s vineyard
This was my first trip to Martha’s Vineyard and I absolutely fell in love with the island. We had a weekend filled with good friends, lots of relaxing and just enjoying being out of the city for a bit. Many thanks to Paul, our great host for the weekend who showed us the highlights and opened his home to us. There are definitely wheels turning trying to figure out when we can make a return trip! (All of the images shot on Fuji Pro 400H or 800Z)
4th of July
This is how we spent our 4th of July in Beach Haven, NJ: afternoons on the beach, bike rides, lobster rolls, morning runs, boylan’s root beer, long walks, old bay spiced crabs, backyard games, ice cream trucks, lots of pups, long naps, beautiful sunsets and great company. Thank you so much to the Singer family for opening your beautiful home to us for the long weekend. It was a great 4th of July!
lisa + dan
Barely 45 minutes outside of Manhattan, Lisa and Dan celebrated their wedding with friends and family at Round Hill in Washingtonville, NY. The light during their ceremony was amazing and just seemed to wrap around the couple and made their happiness even brighter. And let me say, I have never seen a party dance as hard as these guys did… they’d probably still be dancing the day away if they didn’t ever have to leave… enjoy!
cecilia + john
This was only my second time to visit Philadelphia and I am so happy that I was able to be there to capture Cecilia and John’s wedding day. The day was full of beautiful light, traveling the city and lots of Irish touches. I hope you enjoy the photographs!
The beautiful shot below was taken by the lovely Angie, who shot with me throughout the day.
terrain
I shot a great wedding in Philadelphia a few weeks ago and the day after the wedding I had some time to kill, so I headed over to Terrain after reading about it on lots of blogs. The store is amazing and I managed to pick up a few goodies and finished off my visit with lunch at their cafe (the lavender and honey butter was soooo good). Here are a few shots, mainly of the cafe…
anna russell + christopher
Anna Russell and Christopher’s wedding was truly a southern soiree in Nashville. I absolutely adored her Oscar de la Renta dress and all of the classic touches they had throughout the evening.
welcome!
The past few months have bee filled with lots of weddings, photography and traveling and I am super excited to launch the new blog and portfolio site for Kate Murphy Photography today! Many, many thanks go out to Russ Maschmeyer for building this site from the ground up and making it everything I asked for. With that said, be on the lookout for lots of new blog posts on the way very soon!
Here are a few shots from a recent trip to San Antonio:
hotel san jose: austin, tx
Another great place to stay, this time in Austin, TX. I had the good fortune to stay here while in town for an engagement shoot with some clients who will be getting married later this year in San Antonio. Welcome to the Hotel San Jose…
