Jess & Daryl – Engagement Session

Last week, I went back to high school. . .;)

It’s been a long time since I have walked through the halls of Council Rock High School (I still refer as if there was only 1), but that is where Jess and Daryl wanted to shoot their engagement session.  Since I try to recommend that engagement sessions are done somewhere that has meaning between the future bride and groom, it was a perfect scene, since these two met in high school, in band.

Their wedding in October at Normandy Farms is looking like it will be a lot of fun, and I can’t wait!

99 Restaurant – Dining for a Cause

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.

It was a fun day, with a great crowd dancing.  Here’s a few to preview.

Aldie Mansion Wedding Photos – 2nd shoot

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.

Melanie and Tom – Wedding

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;)
