A little bit about me.

Finalist: 2008 Photographer of the Year - International Competition

I love my job! What more can I say? I love the feeling of capturing that perfect split second moment of emotion. I love the feeling of creating an image from a vision in my head, and nailing it! I love seeing the reaction of the couples as they see the images for the first time. Its amazing. I am truly blessed to have the privilege of being a photographer.

I actually fell into this profession very much by accident. I was the owner of a music promotion and management company when I was 18 and studying at Penn State. I started to photograph the bands so they would have images for their press kits. I was hooked. I soon was shooting everything that I could get my hands on. Soon after I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to photograph my first wedding. It was the wedding of a high school classmate of mine and a childhood friend. I owe everything to Josh and Jen for giving me the opportunity to photograph their wedding.

The very next year we sold out for the season! Since then the business has grown into something I could have never imagined. It has allowed me to shoot in locations all across the country and soon the world! I have had the privilege to shoot along side of and learn from some of the best photographers in the world. These photographers include: Australian photographers Jerry Ghionis and Yervant, Joe Buissink, David Beckstead, John Michael Cooper (Altf), the Bebbs, and more.

I also have recently been invited to be an instructor at several of the PhotogShootOut workshops in front of over 70 professional photographers, as well as invited to become a member of the Circle of 8.

My work is always expanding. At every wedding or portrait session I try to do things that I have never done before.

When I am not photographing something, I love anything to do with movies and music. As a former performer I am very passionate about music. I love a lot of bands that people probably have never heard of. Movies to me are one of the most magical things on earth. I love seeing just about any movie that I can put my hands on. Some of you have seen my movie theater in my house with the 120" screen. It is definitely my favorite room in the house!

My next passion I will be exploring soon is traveling and seeing the world. I can't wait to get started.

Above all I love to have a great time every time I go out shooting. My fun and friendly style is something that my couples love, mixing photojournalism with fashion.

Thanks again for checking out the website!

Philadelphia Photog Shootout

Hello everyone
Some of you have wondered why I have been in Philadelphia twice this past week shooting. Well here is one of them! I was once again one of the ‘instructors’ at the PhillyPhotogShootOut event held in center city Philadelphia. This is the same group I worked with in Atlantic City a few months back. YES!, It was bitter cold! I believe about 16 degrees? You don’t even notice it though when you are out having fun shooting. At least that is what I tell myself :). Below you will see a video featuring some of my work by the very talented Aubert Films.

You will also see my photos below.

I am very close to saying that Philly is growing on me. Now I just have to find a way to get there without the hassle of driving! Also keep an eye out for another post probably tomorrow from my other day shooting in Philly with the Circle of 8 which I am a part of. Enjoy!

Wedding Trailer - Allyson & Bill - Franklin Institute

Here is the wedding video trailer done by Glen Elliott and Darrell Aubert. This is a wedding that I shot with/for Mark Gardner Photography, who is also a member of our The Circle of 8. You will see by watching the video trailer that there is a reason why these are the only people that we will recommend for Wedding Videography. It’s leaps and bounds above the rest, just like our photography. Enjoy

Franklin Institute Wedding - Philadelphia, PA

Hey everyone!

Here is something a bit different from me. On Saturday I had the pleasure to shoot along side Mark Gardner at one of his weddings at the Franklin Institute and surrounding Philadelphia areas. What an amazing time! I used this opportunity to really stretch the creativity and artistic nature of my images, trying new techniques and approaches that I have never done before. I couldn’t be happier with the results. I hope that you enjoy what you see from this awesome wedding couple. This wedding was also shot along side Darrell Aubert and film crew.

Enjoy!!
