When I first talked with Jessa of Squeeze My Hand, I knew she would be a perfect fit for Soiree Philadelphia!  First of all, her story of where the name comes from is simply magic:

“Squeeze my hand got it’s name from my love story. When we were dating, my now husband used to squeeze my hand three times: one squeeze for each word in “I love you”. The response from me was four squeezes for “I love you too”. He and his mom used to have this code when he was young, and he passed it along to me.”

…and now, we introduce “The Beast” (Jessa’s amazing letterpress machine):

I found Princess Beast in Virginia Beach, VA in February 2011.  Her previous owner had taken her from an old printer and had her sitting in his shop for over 10 years. He thought the press was very unique and did not want to scrap it, thank goodness! My husband and I drove 5 hours south from New Jersey to meet her. It was love at first sight. Princess Beast is a Chandler and Price 12 x 18, and therefore a huge piece of machinery. She weighs 2300 lbs.  I love working with her. She is a beast when she’s printing her heart out and a cast iron princess (nothing really dainty about her), therefore Princess Beast!  We have recently towed her from Texas and she is working hard printing fun things for me and my clients.

“Beast it, Princess”—- motivational speech to my press

Here are just a few examples of Jessa’s amazing work:

A little bit about Ashley and her work:

Our approach to wedding and portrait photography is simple. We take the time to get to know each and every one of our clients and we work with their style to create truly unique and personal images. Whether shooting a relaxed engagement session in a park or in the midst of the wedding day hustle and bustle, my team and I are focused on you, helping you to look and feel your absolute best in every last picture. By the time you receive your images, it is my hope that we are not just working together, but we are friends.
Be sure to check out more of Ashley’s gorgeous work on her page here and her site!
