Keren and Ren

Keren called me and asked if I did engagement shoots!  I explained that I do eSessions for all my brides and grooms and include that in their wedding contracts and I do all kinds of portraits unrelated to weddings.   So off we went to Longwood Gardens finding unusual angles and scenery.  I’ve been shooting portraits there for 16 years and always try to find something different for my clients.  I don’t want my artistry to look like every other photographers work!

My old assistant Heather dragged my bags around for me, while we chatted and walked the grounds.  Needless to say this summer has been a scorcher so far and that Saturday in June was no different. The challenge is to find good light, great backgrounds and make it look like it’s 70 degress out.  Ha!  We had a blast walking the grounds and I hope the images prove it.  On the walk back from our session Keren and Ren both agreed that I had to be their wedding photographer.  It was a great day.  Thanks so much!

Stacy and Jonathan

Gotta love Stacy and Jonathan!  We dragged them to an unknown location after getting permission from the Wilmington Police and the Delaware Department of Recreation to do their eSession. Thank you to Anthony Easterling for making the calls!   Bancroft Mills is an old paper and textile mill along the Brandywine River.  My mother used to drag me there as a child looking for bolts of fabric.  We were looking for the grunge look which was difficult since Stacy is so bright and beautiful.  Dark shadows and bright colors enhanced the palettes used!  They fell right into place and made this eSession very enjoyable.  Linda and I look forward to their wedding on May 15th and hope we can surpass our artistic visions from this wonderful portrait session.  Please leave comments!  Rock on!
