Twisted Visions?

Thank you for finding your way to my weblog! We have come a long way from the film days and one can only imagine what the future brings.

My passion for photography comes from many places. During my childhood, my Mom lugged a Leica around and was constantly metering light on every vacation. My closet is filled with boxes of slide carousels as a result. My growth as an artist developed when I couldn't make every drawing perfect. I tried for years to get the camera to see what my minds eye could see. My interest in math and science has always been evident in my photographs of nature, landscapes, and people. Nothing like a little left brain/right brain conflict to get your artistic juices flowing! I have used cameras since the 3rd grade and am a self-taught photographer. I still have my black and whites from Boy Scouts and field trips to Washington D.C.!

Photography is all about relationships and style. "Twisted Visions" came about after following other photographers around and seeing the world completely different. I feel blessed to be able to capture the inner beauty of people, places, and things that most will walk right past. Portraits are by far my favorite thing to photograph. Meeting someone new, getting to know them, and capturing their inner selves is truly a blast. We have so much fun doing portraits and entering in this lifelong relationship with each other. I'll let my photographs tell the rest of the story! Thanks so much for visiting!!

Megan and Kenny

June 22, 2009 – 10:07 am

When we met Megan and Kenny last year, I knew we were in for a spectacular time together.  Their wedding was at Deerfield Country Club, which is a great venue and I haven’t been there since Amy and Brandon’s wedding.   Megan had every detail accounted for and knew exactly how she wanted to spend her wedding day!  Coordinating her vision was Erin from Proud to Plan and her attention and expertise added to a perfect day!  Meg from Sweet Peas handled the beautiful floral arrangements and we finally got to meet her husband!  We have referred Meg to several brides and they have had nothing but great things to say!

Megan and Kenny are a stunning couple and despite the rainy day, we found nocks and crannies to photograph.  Megan’s dress was drop dead gorgeous and she was truly a Princess.   From the hotel until the sparkler exit, everything went as planned and it was a pleasure for Linda and I to be a part of it.   Thank you for allowing us to spend the day with you!  We look forward to many more!

Kim and Joe

June 11, 2009 – 4:07 pm

We rounded out our May weddings with a fabulous day with our friends Kim and Joe!  We did our eSession last April in Philly and they moved off to Texas.  It was so good to see them again.  Joe still has that hidden smirk and Kim is beyond beautiful.  We spent the day together at The Mendenhall Inn with a fun group of family and friends! The Grand Ballroom is one of my favorite reception venues.

Kim and Joe were so laid back all day.  When I asked Joe what time something was, he had no clue.  We didn’t even sweat the fact that Kim was late, as we chatted about Texas, golf, and beer.  We had plenty of time to do beautiful portraits along the grounds of the Mendenhall, although we never made it to the dumpster.  It was a great day with  friends old and new!

Congratulations to Kim and Joe!!

Nealie and Chad

June 3, 2009 – 11:40 am

A beautiful May Saturday was the backdrop for Nealie and Chad’s wedding!  Nealie and Chad were referred my good friend and client Tim Carter, who was also the best man!  We started the day with a portrait session at Brandywine Park and proceeded to Brantwyn, which is a wonderful DuPont owned estate.  It was nice having time before the ceremony to find cool locations and enjoy each others company.  Harry did a fabulous job coordinating everything at Brantwyn from the rehearsal through the dinner!   Nealie and Chad did a great job also!

Besides Nealie and Chad, we had a few other celebrities attend the festivities including the Vice President of the United States and his lovely wife Jill!  The cake was guarded closely by the Secret Service!  Linda and I had a blast hanging out with Nealie and Chad and their family and friends.  It was a picture perfect day!  Thanks to everyone who attended and to whom we made friends with!

Custom Album Design

May 24, 2009 – 10:09 am

After all the hard work is finished with the wedding and the editing of all their proofs, the real fun begins!  Our flush mount and coffee table albums are all custom designed.  I do not use templates or ship my images out for someone else to design.  I believe in providing my clients with the continued vision for which they hired me for in the first place.  My design is a more intimate story of the bride and groom as compared to the proof portfolio.  The proofs tell the whole story in detail.  The album focuses on the bride and groom and portrays a fabulous relationship in photos.

Stacy and Steve’s story is a wonderful one that started in Bethany Beach at a private residence right on the beach!  Every detail planned out by Stacy fell into place and the day was magical, including the fog that rolled in at dusk.  It was an intimate day with plenty of time for beach portraits, with catering by Moe’s and with family and close friends partying on the deck and in the beach house.   Thanks to Stacy and Steve for working with me on their date and for asking for my advice on locations and my experiences with past weddings!  Linda and I had a blast!  I trust their wedding album will be smiled upon for many years!

Dana and Sean

May 19, 2009 – 10:54 pm

I am so happy that all my brides and grooms are so cool!  Dana and Sean are no exception!  Although Sean was skeptical about our eSession at Valley Garden, he was relaxed and ready to go on his wedding day.  It just proves the value of doing portraits together well before the wedding and really getting to know each other.  Linda and I agree that this relationship is so important and the ability to capture fabulous portraits is made so easy.

Dana and Sean were married on a warm May day at The Stone Barn and we really dodged the thunderstorms that afternoon!  Dana is not one for being in the spotlight, as her beauty and shyness are a big part of her charm.  We had a great day, met loads of nice people, and captured many truly beautiful portraits and memories.  A special thanks to Greg and Lauren for organizing the masses and becoming dear friends in the process!  We wandered the outdoor scenery for 3o minutes and found numerous locations to capture the bride and groom artistically.  The Stone Barn’s surroundings lead to great images!  I can’t wait to share! Love you guys!
