I got to photograph this little guy and his beautiful companion this fall right in his beautiful backyard. Christian is a rough and tough boy through and through, more content to play with sticks than toys, we had a ball traipsing around the wooded yard. I can’t wait to photograph him again when he rides Otto like a horse! I had such a hard time picking favorites for the blog, so here is a rather large smattering of images of the shoot!
There are certainly some things that inspire me more than others. Usually before a wedding I will prep in my own mind the little details about my clients and their personalities that I surmise through their e-session and correspondence. From there I pretty much show up and let inspiration come through the elements of the day. Well, for Megan and Kevin’s wedding, inspiration floated through the air like tiny unseen particles and landed everywhere! Megan’s details were so beautiful and artistic and she had a hand in putting together a lot of them. The flowers were exotically adorned with feathers and Megan herself radiated this timeless yet super cool vision. The girls were not only chic and glamorous but also can I say FUN! They all totally rocked out their portraits and mom got to jump in and partake in some city fun as well. Don’t worry, the guys had their fair share of owning the camera =) It’s always a pleasure for me when I suggest locations or ideas and the response is let’s do it! We are all yours! I can not say enough nice things about the way that both Megan and Kevin and their family and friends made Val and I feel, so welcome and artistically free and excited to document the events of the day. So, suffice it to say that despite the utter chill in the air the warmth of love, family and friends surely won tonight! Congrats to you both and thank you, thank you, thank you for hanging with us today and for the bottles of wine! Yes, Kevin, the Merlot was a very yummy choice =)

Megan will say the Jimmy Dean, their pug, stole the show and Kevin will say that Jimmy only listened to the commands accidentally =) Regardless, I say that I love when I’m able to just wander the streets getting to know my clients and seeing the “before photo session anxiousness” melt away into a fun experience of enjoying the moments. Megan pretty much left it in my hands for locations and both her and Kevin were up for anything. I can’t stress enough how important trust is when photographing or being photographed. This session really set the stage for the images to be captured on their wedding day. I’m thankful to have clients like Megan and Kevin and I’m excited to share these images as well as the ones from their amazing wedding!

Soooooooo. Ok I know it has been a while since I have blogged, but BOY has it been a busy time lately. I wanted to make a quick post to update you on a few things that have been happening as well as a few teasers of things to come.
MYSTIC 5 – Mystic, CT
This past week I had the pleasure of going to Mystic, CT to learn even more from some of the best wedding photographers in the world. It was great to see photographers again like Jerry Ghionis from Australia, AltF from Las Vegas, David Williams from Australia, DQ Studios, and two time Pulitzer Prize Winner Greg Gibson. It’s really exciting to go to an event several states away and have people recognize me from my work. It was also great chillin with the Circle of 8 group for the week and seeing a lot of old faces.
More importantly is the inspiration that I have come away with from attending. I have several new projects in the works and new ideas for how I want to photograph going into the 2010 wedding season. I can’t wait to get started!
Charitable Project
I am working hard with a large name charity (to be announced later, shhhh), to start a very important charitable project. I can’t go into too many details about it at this time, but I can tell you that it is going to be very cool and I believe will have a large impact locally and nationally as we grow the scope of the project. Stay tuned for more information about this project and how you can get involved!
Weekender Model of the Week
Just a note that you can continue to see my work published each week in the Times Leader: Weekender Model of the Week.
New Website!!
The brand new website is almost complete! I hope to be able to launch it some time this coming week. It is a new site built from the ground up with the wedding couples in mind. You will be able to see my past weddings and even be able to see what vendors the couples used for their weddings. Since I have the priveledge of working with some of the best vendors around, it will make a great resource for you while you are planning your wedding.
2010 Dates
2010 dates are flying fast! There are still spots left and I would love to photograph your wedding! So make sure you give me a call or email and get your wedding booked asap.
TEASERS
I have a few new things on the horizon that I can’t yet speak about but are going to be very exciting! Here are a few hints:
- The introduction of Fine Art Prints
- A better solution to 8×10 prints
- An Engagement Session like you have never seen before!
- The Fashion Bridal Session
- Albums explained. Why they are so important and why a photographer is doing you a disservice if they do not take care in producing this priceless heirloom for you.
- And much more!
2010 is going to be a really fun year and I can’t wait to get started. I can’t wait for the warm weather to whip around especially so that we can get back outside creating awesome photos!
I encourage you to make 2010 your best year yet!
