Facebook Only Specials
Special Offers on Facebook I’ve ran special offers on my Facebook page for some time and I’ve received very good response to them from my Facebook fans but I wanted to make sure that anyone who comes to the website is aware that they can find those specials and take advantage of them by becoming [...]
Open Letter to TheKnot.com
theKnot.com It goes without saying that theknot.com is a HUGE wedding resource. They themselves claim that 80% of brides turn to them for information which makes them the industry’s equivalent to Walmart. If 80% of the consumers are using them, even for just a small percentage of their planning, shopping, and other wedding prep needs then it [...]
Maya and Ryder’s book
I’m meeting with Maya today at Espresso A Mano to go over the proof of her and Ryder’s wedding album. It’s taken a little longer than I’d normally like to get it together and get them to sign off on it but I know that in the end it will be worth it because it’s [...]
Portfolio Updated
It must be time for spring cleaning because we’ve finally updated the portfolio and added some photos from a few more recent weddings. We’ve included photos from Matthew and Heather, Maya and Ryder, Wendy and Aaron, and Amanda and Fred. The last update we did was more than a year ago. We still have dates [...]
Matt and Zahava’s Engagement Photos
I seem to be on a Matt kick lately. Actually I’ve been friends with Matt here for years and when he finally popped the question he and Zahava came to me and asked if I would photograph their wedding. Matt was the best man in my wedding so clearly I was happy they asked me to [...]

Which reminds me of my own wedding where I apparently made my photographer, good friend and former classmate Jess nervous. The photos that Jess and her assistant took were [...]
Traveling to The Guest House at Lost River
Where it’s at As usual I’ve been a little too busy to blog regularly but I had to make an exception to mention an amazing place that I escaped to a few weekends ago. The Guest House at Lost River is located in Hardy County, WV and is nestled in the mountains between Moorefield, WV to the [...]
Hello world!
Keep a Level Head
I came across this tripod head the other day: The Acadalus tripod head. It self-levels your camera with the horizon for only $5K. That’s a little less than what you’d pay for the Nikon D3X and a little less than what you’d pay for a digital back to fit a monorail view camera but it’s not going [...]
Jona Lara: Art Documenter Needs Your Help
I was reading through my usual list of blogs when I found the story of Jona Lara on PDN Pulse. Jona’s situation is serious and is one close to my heart as someone who works to document the art work of others. Jona was arrested on charges that have changed a bunch of times while [...]
