Winter Solstice Lunar Eclipse

This is something different from the norm, but thought I’d share it. It was a long night and I can barely keep my head up I’m so tired, but I always enjoy this type of photography as a diversion.

Philadelphia Area Wedding Vendors – Cakes & Desserts

Over the years I have worked with some great (and not-so-great) vendors at weddings. Cake artists, florists, planners, DJs, bands, and venues to name a few categories. I’m sure I could come up with a LOT more categories, but here are a few of my favorites to start…to start…

Cake Artists/Desserts
- Only one to recommend here, and hands-down the most amazing cake I’ve seen at Summer and Marc’s wedding and was done by The Cake Art Studio and Eileen Gray

- The most amazing Viennese room I have EVER seen was at Nicole and John’s wedding and it was all supplied (including the cake) by Nicole’s father’s bakery, Schenk’s Family Bakery

- A personal favorite and often used vendor for my own purposes, is Cupcakes Gourmet, simply amazing cupcakes, the best in the region

I was the event planner for Summer and Marc’s wedding and was a bridesmade in Nicole and John’s wedding! These pictures are amazing of their cakes. I had the honor of Schenk’s Family Bakery make te cake for our wedding not only was it stunning but it taste great too!

Budding Assistant

Last weekend I helped capture the 100th anniversary of our summer lake chapel. It was a great picnic put together by my father-in-law and one of his colleagues on the church board. There were some neat historical tidbits and stories from some of the more elder members. During the event my oldest son wanted to capture some images and he did a great job! I even gave him a lesson in capturing moments…he gets it perfectly. I can’t wait until he can assist me on a wedding in the not too distant future.

As you can see, he has the proper technique down pat! He even uses the back button to focus…that was a big change for him.

4 Days + 800 Miles + 27 hours = My (long) Weekend

It started with Meredith and Paulo’s wedding in Basking Ridge, NJ, back home, then on to Colleen and Joe’s engagement session in Stone Harbor, NJ, then back home before heading to Annapolis, MD for Michelle and Allan’s engagement session. It was a very long four day stretch with thousands of images taken, but it was AWESOME.

In what has been a crazy, busy, summer there have been lots of great moments and experiences. In the craziness I have neglected to post and of the fun engagement sessions…so stay tuned…they are about to hit the blog!

Check the map…a little crazy

Mommy’s Day

Well, Sunday the boys and I did our best to treat the most important lady in our lives as best we could. Starting with our tradition of serving her breakfast and presents in bed.

After church we had a nice visit to Longwood Gardens followed by a nice dinner out. Our Moms deserve a lot of praise and thanks to my wife for supporting me while i take pictures of pretty brides on the weekends!

And of course congrats to all my wedding couples celebrating their first Mother’s Day.

PS I am having fun posting this from our new iPad…

We started the day before by giving her a couple new plants that the boys selected and picked where to plant them.

Then on to Longwood

All shot with a super fun, portable, Canon S90 camera, great choice for a point and shoot.
