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!

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!

To conclude a wonderful weekend, we spent the day with Robin and Paul at the Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, NJ.  Robin was one of those smart people that sat in front of me in Organic Chemistry and Algebra III in high school.  We have become good friends and along with other classmates ran a very successful high school reunion.  As their wedding gift, Linda and I waded through the beautiful gardens and puddles on a rainy Sunday.  We got to shoot way outside the box with no rules or instructions.  We met some wonderful people and thoroughly enjoyed our day together. I definitely want to go back to the Grounds and continue to explore the many gardens and sculptures that we missed.  Thank you to Robin and Paul for bearing with us in the downpours to capture extraordinary images!

We started off a great weekend with Michelle and Will’s wedding!  The rain held off long enough for us to cruise the streets of Dover and enjoy the State Capitol and it’s wonderful architecture.  Friendship’s are very important in our ability to capture the true essence of a couple and we hit it off with Michelle and Will long before the wedding! After the ceremony at Holy Cross and our quick tour downtown, we headed to Dover Downs in time for the Kentucky Derby.  Grove Street provided a youthful sound to an intimate reception.  Those boys can rock and I found it a challenge to stop listening and get to work. Many thanks to the wonderful couple for a great day in Dover! I can’t wait to show off the red shoes!
