A wedding photography project…

Posted in Creative Wedding Albums, Daily Grind, Engagements, Weddings show hide 1 comment

Thanks go out to Craig Single, as this weekend I did something I have never done before, I forgot my pro gear at home. Never fear, I left it there on purpose as my duty was to photograph the wedding as guests do, with their pocket digital camera. My weapon of choice for seeking out the perfect images for facebook… the Canon G9.

Before I continue I’ll say this; it wasn’t easy, as a matter of fact, I found myself frustrated. After all I’m used to working with professional equipment each and every day, I’m used to working fast, shooting lots, and having fun. Since I don’t give up easy, I stayed with it, and tried not to overwork my camera’s abilities, and things got better, and even had some fun.

The Getaway Car? No, but it did provide a cool place for the final shot of the evening, so maybe it was in fact a getaway car(Thanks Joe!)

Lauren and Lee’s Wedding in Canton Pensylvania

Posted in Daily Grind, Humor, Portraits, Weddings show hide 4 comments

Saturday I worked with Heather Zawalick covering the wedding of Lauren and Lee. When I heard the story about them buying all of the local stores supply of slip-and-slides because of the 100% chance of rain…this group was going to keep me busy. (It did rain…about 5 minutes…I never saw a slip-and-slide)

Some fun while building the pyramid.

Angie - Mark these look GREAT!! Sorry for the lack of slip-n-slides… but you got your pyramid AND a tandem bike! I think the party finally wrapped up around 3:30am! Hope you had a safe trip back!

I had the distinct pleasure of shooting with Josh Lynn up in West Orange, NJ on Lucky Friday the 13th! Here are a couple images from the day’s events.

An unexpected power outage, gave new meaning to candlelight dining!

Jessica and Kevin’s Engagement Pictures

Posted in Daily Grind, Engagements show hide 1 comment

It’s always to pleasure to hang out with a couple before their wedding day. We always get some nice images and learn lots about each other, and talk about the upcoming wedding. Today hanging out with Jessica and Kevin was no exception, but with a little added excitement by way of the Delaware State Park Rangers. Who knew you couldn’t walk in the park and take pictures? I mean really, c’mon.

Long-story short, we were warned, we got caught, we waited (not for long, I mean the golden hour is actually only 45 minutes), we left, saved $56.50 getting great images.

Jessica - Oh My God, Mark! These pictures are beautiful – we love them! And, you were right – the one on the rocks is definitely worth more than $56.50. Thank you so much for an awesome evening! We had a blast taking pics and hanging out! Can’t wait for August 23rd! Talk to you soon, Jessica and Kevin
