Dave & Hannah’s Country Wedding
I’ve been to a lot of weddings, and I can easily say this was one of the most breathtaking. The ceremony took place in a small town Catholic church in Maryland. Dave and Hannah made their vows while eagerly anticipating the celebrations they had planned for the evening. The reception was to take place in more...
Custom Wedding & Engagement DVD Cases
Amber B. is an awesome Chicagoan artist I’ve recently started working with. She’s been making custom DVD cases for some of my wedding and engagement photo packages. Pretty neat. It’s fun coming up with ways to personalize them for the clients. Here, she designed the case with the engagement ring that Darin gave Emily. More more...
Travis + Kate
When Kate asked me to shoot her wedding, I was pretty excited. She just oozes style. And as evidenced by the following photographs, Travis isn’t too bad himself. Travis, you should tell me where you got your best man’s bow tie….so I can get one too… We walked around Pittsburgh in the sweltering heat and more...
CIRCLE.SQUARE by Lisa Malanij
Lisa Malanij is one of my awesome friends back in Cleveland. She also happens to be a pretty awesome fashion designer. This was our second shoot together and I designed a much more complex lighting setup to showcase her circle.square collection. We wanted an edgy and high-contrast look that didn’t hide all her design details more...
Darin and Emily’s Manayunk Engagement Session
I had the pleasure of shooting Darin and Emily’s engagement photos this afternoon. It’s great when a couple is this comfortable with each other. Makes my job much easier! We walked around Manayunk, Philadelphia for a couple hours and braved the unusually chilly and blustery weather. Looking forward to your wedding in August!
Caleb & Katie
Caleb and Katie had an exceptionally elegant wedding in Albany, NY. They were so relaxed on their big day, and I think this must have rubbed off on their guests. I’ve never seen so many people on the dance floor before dinner was served! The Karen Lawrence Band kept everyone of their feet, and the more...
And so it concludes.
JoLyn and I left Cambodia to return to Bangkok after quite a nice stay. I don’t have any other captivating stories to tell but we had a great time exploring the city on foot. It’s crazy to think that the same streets we walked have been home to violent protests in the last few weeks. more...
Angkor Wat and Lara Croft
I can’t emphasize enough how beautiful the Angkor Wat ruins are. It’s a whole different experience from walking around the Coliseum or any European ruin. The Khmers are trying to find a balance between restoration and keeping the temples in their current state. I think I like what they’re doing. While rebuilding some areas, the more...
Simianus
[If you don't want to read all this, don't leave. There's photos of monkeys.] Flying into Cambodia from Thailand is reserved for the rich and the ignorant. A ticket can cost upwards of $250 one way. We had been paying approximately $45 to travel elsewhere by plane and $250 wasn’t in our budgets. Besides, I more...
Phuket & Koh Phi Phi
JoLyn and I flew from Chiang Mai to Phuket to get some requisite beach time. The islands in southern Thailand have some of the most breathtaking views I have ever seen. White sand. Blue water. Sheer rock cliffs covered in foliage. It’s beautiful and hot. Even the water is unnaturally warm. So warm that you more...
