A few days before the first of two huge snow storms, Jackie emailed me and asked about doing their engagement session in the snow. We made Plan A and Plan B…we ended up with Plan B since there was two feet of snow falling on the first day. The Sunday after, however, was absolutely amazing. Not a cloud in the sky and Jackie and Mike could not have been more fun. Every idea I had, they loved, so we had a blast. Here are a few of my favorites!

good job craig! looks like fun
What do you get when it is 19 degrees outside and you have an engagement session scheduled? Think creatively! So when the weather turned bitterly cold for Omar and Jenn’s engagement session, and we didn’t have time to reschedule, I came up with some alternate plans. Since we were heading into Philly anyway, it gave me the opportunity I was waiting for, to shoot some portraits in the Market East SEPTA train station and Reading Terminal Market. Thankfully Omar and Jenn were up to the challenge. Here are my favorites from the day!

Guys…this is a session to really impress your future wife! You have spent hours at the jeweler picking out a very expensive ring that she will have forever. Wouldn’t it be cool to capture the perfect proposal on something else than a cell phone camera?
If your proposal plan includes a place where we can covertly get the very moment when you propose, we can get amazing images without her ever knowing. If you book SingleExposure Photography for your proposal session and book us to shoot your wedding, you will receive a credit towards your wedding package in the amount of the proposal session!
Contact us at info@singleexposure.com to get more information on this great way to blow her socks off!

Things have been super busy over the past six months…and during that time it was weddings to the max! But there were also some engagement sessions as well. As I shot Kelly and Brian’s wedding on Saturday I reminded them why we did the engagement session. So here are a couple reasons I have my couples make an engagement session a part of their experience with me. First, I get to know you as a couple and why you love each other. My degrees in Psychology definitely come in handy!
Second, I get to learn what your limits are for photography. So back to Kelly and Brian’s wedding, as we are going through their formals, Kelly mentions to me that she wanted it pretty simple…nothing too silly…and I reminded her that we talked about that during the engagement session…so I wasn’t going there with them anyway.
Lastly, and most importantly, you get used to me taking a ton of pictures of you. Now, I have done weddings where there was no engagement session, and things went okay. But the engagement session is more than just some great pictures…it is building the relationship so your wedding day images totally ROCK!
So starting with the most recent…Jane and Alex are getting married next April at DuPont Country Club. And I watched Jane go from a high school freshmen to engaged woman through our church. It makes me feel old to be shooting the first of the youth group kids that my wife and I spent many hours with on trips, Sunday nights, and retreats. So Jane, Alex, and I went over to Longwood Gardens and grabbed these images…enjoy.
Alex was a ton of fun and totally goofy which prompted this fun picture…Alex stalking Jane…kinda like Tarzan stalking Jane!

So my friends and I had a little get together…shared some business ideas…some food…and a couple models. We shot at a friend’s farm down the road and found some cool spots around the farm. The best part of the whole story was that one of the model’s that Jeff lined up is getting married in June and Issy Schmid is shooting her wedding…my connection to Issy and her husband Austin is a story in itself for another post some day! For now here are a couple of my favs from the shoot.
This one feels the power of some serious off-camera flash…ah Quantums…..aaahhhh
Fun in a run-down shack…and some kicker light behind!
