I had a opportunity to be the second shooter with my old friend, Suzanne Collier ( www.collierimages.com). We had a good time talking about the old times inspite of the rain, making images with the wonderful couple who made for some exciting moments. The ceremony was at the beautiful and historic Christ Church in Philadelphia. Congratulations Rebecca and Richard !! It was great working with you. God Bless you both.
A beautiful Sunday Afternoon called for a date with my bride. A fantastic time to enjoy the season. I grabbed the pano above of a local lake. Hope it stays that way for a few more weeks.
A great tip to extend the wonderful experience the Fall Season has to offer is to take a quick weekend up north and get an early glimpse. Now I am ready for it to hit Bucks County.
I have to say that my wife and I consider ourselves really blessed to do what we do. Every Wedding we shoot imprints on us again, the beauty of Marriage, as we join in celebration with the Bride and Groom, right beside them, capturing those moments that will be treasured as precious memories. The Wedding we did this past weekend was no exception. In fact the story of how this couple met, is so beautiful that I would love to share it - but it is not mine to tell !! Let me just say that there was not a dry eye in the house. Tears of joy and overwhelming emotion was the nature of the day - Beautiful !!
Our dear friend Michelle and the crew performed at a venue near me at a concert with Israel and the New Breed. I miss playing with the fellas ( too bad there are only so many hours in a day !!). Michelle truly has a God given ability to communicate the Truth through word and song.
Check out Michelle's work at - http://www.myspace.com/michellebonillamusic and keep an eye out for her latest project that is to be released shortly.
I did a shoot for my brother-in-law and his good friend and their families, last weekend in North Carolina. It was a quick trip to say goodbye (for a little while) to them as they deployed this past weekend to serve. While they have become my heroes already, their wives are the unsung heroes, as they manage life on the home front. I am proud of all of them and this shoot was the least I could do to show them my whole hearted appreciation for their brave service. We love you guys.
A few of my favorite "twin" shoots. There is a serious connection between twins - the energy and the excitement they share is quite overwhelming and yet beautiful. Of course there are the stories of when I could not tell one twin from the other or when I shot one twin, the other ran off with my D700 with my workhorse 70-200 like it was a little teddy bear fitting to be flung in the woods. At the end of the day it is "all good" as they say, to be able to capture those moments for the family !!
I took a photo walk in the Italian Market section as part of the WWPW a few weekends ago. I love the hustle and bustle of the Market and making your way past a few drunks of course .............. at 8 AM.
Eileen and Justin certainly seemed to have had a great time planning their Wedding. During my conversations with the wonderful couple prior to the Wedding, I had the feeling that this was certainly going to be a spectacular Wedding flooded with emotion, passion and enthusiasm. The father of the Bride gave one of the sweetest toasts I have heard in a long time. There were too many memorable moments to make mention here and I was glad to be there to capture them. Congratulations to you both !!
June has been quite a rainy month where I had Weddings that had severe storms on consecutive weekends. However, Gina and Sean were fantastic. A wonderful couple who did not let the rain put a damper on their beautiful Wedding Day. Gina and Sean were both terrific sports as I dragged them out to get a few quick images and you could tell from their friends and family that they are indeed, truly wonderful people. Congratulations to you both !!
