Photos: Katie English and Ryan Gagnon’s Wedding at the Franklin Institute

Saturday my friends Katie English & Ryan Gagnon were married at The Franklin Institute. It was a beautiful wedding, and intimate event with most guests related to the bride or groom and a handful of friends.

Introducing Mr and Mrs Ryan Gagnon
Christie Honigman was one of the bridesmaids. Katie and Christie met through me. Katie would hire me to shoot a few of her clients, after a mutual friend recommended me, now who was that, I think it was Greta Baith, anyway after about a year I said to Katie, who had just moved back to Philly, I said you should meet my girlfriends, and at my birthday party 3 years ago they all met.

Christie Honigman and Brian Johnson. You might recall these two from attending the Academy Ball 3 years ago. That year I picked them as my favorite couple of the year.

I see Kristin found a friend, next to her is Billy Duffy an English guitarist and songwriter, 
best known as the guitarist in The Cult and his girlfriend, who was Katie’s college roommate and one of her bridesmaids.

Looks like Brian is taking the “worm” very seriously (left)

Congratulations Ryan and Katie.
