This years Love Your Lungs 5k walk was another great success! My really good friend Jackie, has organized this for the past 3 years now, and it holds a special place in her and her family’s heart.

Still catching up on some past shoots, here is one that I shot for 99 Restaurant. I photographed the grand opening of this restaurant about a year and a half ago, and was asked to help out again!
The dining for a cause fundraiser actually donated a portion of everydays total sales to the local fire department! what a great way to give back.
A little while back, I got the chance to help out Doug Burns, photograph Jamie and Seth’s wedding at the Spring Mill Manor in Ivyland.
It was a fun day, with a great crowd dancing. Here’s a few to preview.
Well, I have finally made it through the crazy (and fantastic) wedding season. I have a BUNCH of images to catch up on.
To start, here is a wedding from Aldie Mansion that I shot along with Barton Paul. I got to shoot with the Canon 200mm f/2.0 IS lens. It’s a whopper of a lens, but it is awesome! This is also one of the first times that I got to use the 24mm f/1.4 lens (before I bought it). I was hooked from the beginning.

This past weekend, I photographed Melanie and Tom’s wedding. A few weeks back, we shot their engagement session along the Delaware River.
We started the day out at Melanie’s parents house with all the girls getting ready. I could tell immediately that this was gonna be a fun packed day. The girls were all rehearsing their entrance dance to the reception – to the song of “Thriller” !
We moved onto Penn Ryn Mansion for some final prep, and then the ceremony.
Melanie and Tom decided to see each other before the ceremony, and as usual, it was a great choice. (being able to see each other before the ceremony allows for some private time between them, and also allows much more relaxed and fun portraits!)
The entire group was a blast to work with… laughing, joking and even some dancing! Somewhere in the middle of the reception, there was even fireworks… literally!
Here’s just a few from the day

A couple weeks back, I photographed Lee Anne and Ken’s wedding. This day turned out to be SO much fun – It’s also a great day when you walk in and the first thing the bride does is give you a hug hello! Lee Anne, Ken and their family and friends were extra friendly and very open to try some new and fun ideas! It may have been a long day… Driving from Holland, to near Wayne, NJ for the ceremony, then all the way over to almost Mt. Pocono back in PA… then home! …. but the images were worth it
I even got to really use my new lens – a Canon 24mm f/1.4 – it’s a dream of a lens. More on it in later posts.
Here are a few (just so many to choose from) from the day… a slideshow of their album is below. Look for the comments that they wrote about what they thought!
From Lee Anne and Ken . . .
Oh Erik! I cannot describe how amazing I think that the pictures look. You are truly gifted. Ken and I watched the slideshow three times before going to bed. Now I have woken before sunrise thinking of them again. I can’t thank you enough.
You have received nothing but praise from all the guests and your work is incredible. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.
