I love this father, daughter shot. I took it this past Saturday at my wedding as the bride and her dad walked the aisle together. I’m amazed at how often the dad and bride don’t look at each other, but these two did and I was right on it. I’m always waiting, but sometimes it [...]

Photo Of The Day Today’s photo comes from last nights rehearsal at the McFarland House in Martinsburg WV. They look like such a happy couple and in a few hours they will be married today. The lighting situation at this location will be a challenge. It’s dark in the room with full sunlight pouring in. [...]

Reblogged from Shraddha Rathi Photography: Hello Again, Today, I am going to share some basics of food photography which could help a student or someone doing photography as hobby to a large extend; obviously  I am not going to talk about my ‘secrets’ and  tricks in-depth because  I am not really as dumb as I [...]

With all the rainy weddings this year I wish I would have thought of this idea. What a great image! I found it at Wedding Photography Project. You bet the next time I have a rainy wedding I’m going to attempt an image similar to this one.

I shot the lively wedding back on October 16, 2010 and it sure was lively.  I was only there for 2 hours but I still shot tons of pictures.  The wedding party was humongous.  It must’ve been crazy getting all those people ready on time.  I think the lively wedding party must’ve been my largest [...]
