Scranton / Wilkes Barre PA Wedding and Portrait Photography

What a great couple. Dina and Michael were first photographed for their engagement session back in the fall just outside of Wyoming Valley Golf Course. Now come their wedding photos. This couple is such a pleasure to photograph. They truely were. We had a lot of fun with the HUGE wedding party with both the getting ready photos and portraits. The entire day was spent at Skytop Lodge in Skytop, PA where they had everything from getting ready, outdoor ceremony, photo time, and their reception.

Below is sortof a different type of photo then what I normally show as highlights from the wedding. However, to me this is one of the most powerful images of the day. Some times the best photos come in this little tiny moments that happen so fast that if I weren’t paying attention, would have easily been missed. These are the types of moments that I see happening almost before they happen. It’s a story tellers moment. It’s an image that both Dina & Michael will be able to remember what they were feeling at that very moment during their wedding. I hope you enjoy!

Hello everyone.

I am very happy to announce the biggest photography sale to date! Why you say? Because its the summer… why not! As you know we only accept about 20 weddings per year. I would love to go ahead fill our remaining spots for 2009 and 2010. What better way to do this then with an awesome sale!

Whats really neat about this sale is that it is progressive. It will run for 5 days. Each day will have its on booking day bonus as well as the progressive bonus. The progressive bonus works in reverse. So the sooner you book during the week, the bigger your bonus! Also feel free to ask me about how you can double your print credit bonus!

Whats the catch you say? There is only one. To get the bonus listed for the particular day, you must book with completed contract and retainer before 11:59pm on that day. How is that even possible you ask? Great question. Well I am happy to announce that we are going GREEN! This means that all of my contracts will be handled through an online company. These contracts are 100% safe just as if they were in print. It will also allow you to print the contract from the site for you to keep.

I will also be manning the phones all day to handle any questions that you have and to get you booked! In studio appointments will also be available that week but limited to first come first serve. Please ask any questions that you have!

I am busy busy editing the Ahn wedding and having tons of fun! Some very cool shots from this wedding. Here is one more quick one from Betsy getting ready before the ceremony at the Rittenhouse Hotel.

Enjoy!

Hello everyone

I am here for a quick note to show you a sneak peak into the Wedding of Smia and Steve at the Counrty Club of Scranton. Again what a great couple to work with. You will see in one of the shots that we were definitely shooting in the greens at the country club. We had to take a little break to let some golfers go by, and of course I had to take the opportunity to snap a few shots during their swing… oops. 

Enjoy! More to come soon.

Wow… Wow… I had a great time at tonight’s (I guess by now yesterday’s) wedding at the Rittenhouse Hotel in downtown Philadelphia. What a great couple, Betsy and Jaimo. I can not wait to get started on the editing of their images in a few days. We got outside on this amazing day (weatherman have no clue what they are talking about) and did some really cool pictures right in Rittenhouse square. As my usual style I did some “create it out of nothing” shots that I am really excited. Below is just one of those shots from today. It was shot right in front of the hotel. 

COMING SATURDAY & SUNDAY!

Over the next two days I will be making a few posts showing off the photos from the Griffith wedding as well as a sneak peak at the Douglas wedding. Stay tuned!!

Enjoy!

P.S. Don’t forget to book your 09 or 2010 date before they are booked!

Hello everyone

This means your email will be sent shortly showing you where to go to see all of the photos and the album! If you are not on the mailing list for this event, just shoot me an email and I can add you.
Here is just one of the great shots from the day. This was probably my favorite of the day.
Enjoy and talk to you soon!

Todays venue is the absolutely beautiful Radisson Lackawanna StationHotel in Scranton PA.

What a beautiful hotel located right next to the Steam Town Mall. We shot the wedding of Chris & Kate here back in May of 2008. The band Picture Perfect was also in attendance at the reception, playing all night. I hope you enjoy this set of images. I will be putting up Chris & Kate’s portrait session at Molly Brannigans later on.

I type to you from the wonderful Bar Louie Restaurant in the Mohegan Sun Casino at the Pocono Downs, Wilkes Barre, PA. I am eating a wonderful plate of macaroni and cheese. YUM!

What an awesome winter wedding we had yesterday. It was such a nice family and couple. It was my first time shooting an actual ceremony inside of the Highlands as we are normally outside in the garden.

The lights at night made for some really awesome portrait time. I hope you enjoy two photos from the event below. Well back to eating for now!

So everything happens for a reason. I have not been able to get my old posts back but thats ok. We have a new year coming and we are going to start nice and fresh. I will once again be relaunching my attempt for my new years resolution to blog every day!

I was blessed to be able to work at some many cool venues this year. So I have decided over the next week I am going to be posting images from a different Venue every day.

Today’s post is going to feature the awesome Allentown Brew Works. Christie and Joey had their wedding the day before in Allentown, and I decided to invite them to a next day shoot in the streets of Allentown, PA. I walked into the Allentown Brew Works and asked them if I could bring in a couple for a shoot. They were so nice and gave me a tour of the place and said, GO FOR IT!

So we shot in both the Brew Works and then went around the town of Allentown for some more shots. This shoot by accident created one of my favorite photos of the year! You will see it in the slideshow. It is the image of the two of them against a large white wall balanced with a tree on the other side. I almost didn’t take this shot because the shadow that I originally wanted to shoot there had disappeared. I decided to shoot it anyway, and I love it!

By the way, the Allentown Brew Works will be using these images in their upcoming advertisement in Lehigh Valley Style Magazine. Make sure to pick up your copy! I believe it is the January issue.

Enjoy the images! Don’t forget to leave comments!
