Michael & Christine Engaged

2012-01-27T15:57:00.000-05:00

On their first date, they went to a Chinese restaurant and got a fortune cookie that said "The love of your life is sitting across from you". Fast forward a few years later and the happy couple asked to be photographed at P.F. Changs in Marlton for this very sentimental reason. This couple was so easy to work with, Michael kept Christine smiling and laughing the whole session. It was great to photograph these two!

"Unskrptd: Behind the Scenes" The dedication of the "Art Dorrington Ice Rink"

2012-01-27T11:16:00.001-05:00

It was a great privilege to be a part of the dedication of the "Art Dorrington Ice Rink" at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, NJ. Sean McKoy, creator of the series UNSKRPTD, and the production crew of Reel Mckoy Media/Mirror Twiin Media was able to get some inspiring footage from NHL alumnus Willie O'Ree and former Eastern Hockey League Atlantic City Seagull Art Dorrington. The two men spoke of how they struggled in the 1950's, but kept moving forward with their dreams; to become part of the NHL. Both achieved this goal, and are now giving back to our youth with needed positive reinforcement. After the dedication, Art and Willie took some time out to speak with some of young players before they played a game on the newly dedicated ice rink. Former Fox 29 sports newscaster Don Tollefson, was also on hand to give a short, but powerful interview.

I would also like to recognize the hospitality given to us by Elizabeth Marmo and Valarie McGonigal of the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. Every member of their crew were courteous and helpful in assisting us to bring our equipment in and get set up quickly. Thank you for the VIP treatment!

I also want to thank Sean McKoy for reaching out to me to capture some "behind the scenes" images for his new segment on the series UNSKRPTD that will showcase trendsetters and organizations that are empowering our young generation.

Dez Childs-Christian Singer/Songwriter

2012-01-23T14:33:00.002-05:00

We love it when we get calls from Cody Smith, President of Musically Speaking Studios and part of the staff of Apollyon Records because he sends us exciting new artists like Dez Childs. Now they only needed a few shots for her debut album, Heart Cry, but we had such a good time, that we just kept clicking away. For more information on Dez, go to dezchilds.com/music/. Here are a few pic's from the session.

Clothing for Humanity

2011-11-18T17:46:00.000-05:00

Our friend, Joe, asked if we like to be a part of an event where Clothing for Humanity would be handing out much needed winter coats. The event was held at the New Visions shelter in the city of Camden. Also, there were many other folks from various organizations to assist in helping people in need to find housing and job opportunities. Thank you all for allowing us to document your hard work and dedication for a great cause.

I was able to get some behind the scene images of Sean McKoy (Reel McKoy Media) and Mark Maiorano (Mirror Twiin Productions) working on an interview with David L Cohen, Executive Vice President Comcast Corporation for a segment to be shown on UNSKRPTD. All the footage was done inside the new state of the art Comcast Center in Center City Philadelphia.

Behind the scenes of "LIVED".... a short film horror film

2011-10-22T15:21:00.000-04:00

A few weeks ago I was asked to be a part of the making of a short film LIVED. I have assisted my friend Mark Maiorano on few commercials, but never anything this involved! It was for a contest and had some strict rules. You get the theme of what the movie should be about on Friday morning and the entire movie needs to be posted on Youtube by 8pm Sunday night! Thats right, you have 72 hours, to write, shoot, edit and post! On Saturday, we started out at 9am and finished filming at 5am (Sunday) the following morning! Yes we were all exhausted, but it felt good to see our efforts paid off in the finished product. I wanted to mention all that were involved in the event.

Ariella Holy Communion

2011-10-21T17:03:00.000-04:00

We have been photographing Ariella since she was an infant, so we knew she would need very little direction. She is such a natural in front of the camera. Now the dress that Ariella wore was custom made and absolutely beautiful. A great deal of time and effort went into creating this dress. During the session, it put a huge smile on our faces as we watched Ariella's mom and our friend Maria, as she held back tears of joy. Yes, her baby girl is growing up. We know the feeling.

Kyle & Heather engaged

2011-10-19T16:47:00.001-04:00

We met up with Kyle & Heather at the beautiful Hershey Gardens. The day was a little chilly... well actually cold. They did not seem to mind at all, just being with one another was enough to keep both of them warm. We didn't let the weather stop us from getting some great photos of the two of them, take a look.

Kevin & Karla

2011-10-04T14:30:00.000-04:00

Karla was smiling from ear to ear when she entered the room looking fabulous in her wedding gown. She was definitely excited to be marrying Kevin! Her bridesmaids were ready to help her enjoy the first part of her wedding day.

Kevin finished getting himself together at the church with his groomsmen. They too helped Kevin with their "Blue Steel" poses which eventually got everyone loose and ready to usher the guests.

The ceremony began with a great speech from the Deacon. We later found out that this was the church that Karla attended since childhood, which added extra meaning to their union.

We cannot say enough about the party that took place at Laurel Creek Country Club! Kevin and Karla were all over the dance floor enjoying the company of close friends and family. A prominent event to be remembered by all!

Ryan & Jessica

2011-09-07T10:48:00.000-04:00

We met up with Jessica at her hotel room at the Warwick. At first, everyone was just doing the normal preparations before getting dressed but as time got closer, the girls started to get their groove on. Jessica got ready and made an entrance back into the main room, she looked awesome! Sure to please her soon to be husband.

We met up with the guys and they were already in rare form. Cracking jokes and just staying loose. We got the family and groomsmen shots and then off to get details at the ceremony.

Ceremony room looked very nice, the ceremony itself was even better. These two are perfect for each other and it showed as they exchanged their vows. After the ceremony, we photographed the family and bridal party shots and then had enough time to take a stroll around the block to get some quick pics of Jessica and Ryan in the city.

The Reception was something to remember! We have to admit this was one of the biggest parties that we have ever photographed. Everyone was having a great time dancing practically all through the night. It was hard for us to capture everything because every time you turned around, there was something else going on in another area of the dance floor. It was an absolute blast being part of this whole wedding experience.

Jo & Sam

2011-08-05T20:37:00.000-04:00

The day has finally come, Jo and Sam were getting married and Jane and I could not be happier to document this great event. Jeff, Jo's son, has been a friend of mine (Miguel) since childhood. There were many days and nights that we spent hanging out at Jeff's house. Jo has always made me and anyone else feel like family with her friendly smile and easy going manner. Then along came Sam with his Rodney Dangerfield humor. Together the two of them make a great couple. Anyone that knows Jo and Sam has experienced their passion for fun and laughter.

As Jo looked absolutely radiant in her wedding gown, her smile was a little bigger because she knew in a few short hours she was to be wed to Sam. Sam too was looking handsome in his tuxedo and of course kept the mood light with his jokes. It was hard for Jane to fight back the tears of joy as Jo was walking down the aisle escorted by her son Jeff. The ceremony was very touching as Jo and Sam recited their wedding vows to one another. Afterwards, everyone was ushered into the beautiful Scotland Run reception room for an afternoon party. A good time was had by all! Congratulations Jo and Sam! We love you both!

Steven & Colleen

2011-07-12T13:24:00.002-04:00

We had such fun photographing Steven and Colleen's e-Session that we could not wait for the wedding day! Well, the day has come and as usual, Colleen was her bubbly fun self. She was laughing and smiling from ear to ear as we photographed candids and formals at the house. There was String Quartet playing by the altar that set the ambiance of their very elegant ceremony. Steve had kept that sparkle in Colleen's eyes as we photographed this handsome couple at the fabulous Blue Bell Country Club. Family and friends went on to be catered by a very festive reception. We would like to mention all the vendors that made this a special wedding.

2011-07-02T11:19:00.000-04:00

We were very happy to be requested to photograph Nicole's wedding after what seems like just a little while ago we did her brother's Ed. It was so nice to just be around this family again. They were all full of energy and best of all.... jokes! We also wanted to mention how fabulous Nicole looked in her custom designed wedding gown! Nice job Michele on the design and creation of this dress. Now behind all of the laughter was some serious love between Nicole and Tim. It was evident when Tim saw Nicole for the first time coming down the aisle. What a touching moment. This could also be seen with the family and friends as they interacted with each other throughout the day. Everyone packed the dance floor during the reception pretty much all evening long. This was just a fun loving group! Thank you Nicole and Tim for having us photograph your special day!

We would like to give some vendors credit for making this an outstanding event.

Justin & Denise

2011-06-24T16:14:00.000-04:00

Yet another one of those days where we were not quite sure if we would make it through the day before it rained. Well, everything worked out just fine.

Denise looked absolutely fabulous and of course Justin looked equally stunning. It was a lovely outside wedding ceremony in front of the Laurel Creek Country Club. As Justin and Denise headed back down the aisle after their vows were made, it started to rain a little bit but it was perfect timing as we headed inside for the cocktail hour. Justin and Denise showed off their dancing skills with some well rehearsed ballroom dancing during their first dance. It was followed by an heartfelt toast by Denise's sister and then onto the festivities. This group got their "dance" on early and continued to have a great time throughout the evening.

We always love when we get the opportunity to photograph Alisha. She has such energy and emotion. We had a lot fun joking around with each other during the shoot. Thanks Alisha for a great session.... and for making us look good! Check Alisha out on Facebook at DJ Alisha Monique.

Andy & Nicole

2011-05-25T16:54:00.001-04:00

What a wedding is all we can say! From the time we arrived to the last song of the night, this truly was an event to remember. Since there was so much going on, we photographed over 2000 images! This is a new record for us, but well worth it.

When we arrived at the hotel, the weather was kind of cloudy which is great for us, but we were not sure if it was going to rain. So with this in mind, we wanted to get Nicole and the girls outside as soon as possible. We grabbed some quick pic's of the details and some of Nicole... who by the way looked fabulous and then off to the beach. It was a little breezy, but other wise perfect. We got the formals and some candids and then the girls broke out with what we guess is a tribute to the musical Cats. These ladies were so fun to work with!

Next, it was Andy and the guys' turn. They too were a rowdy bunch! Even though we got so many photos we could have gotten more with these guys. Every time we turned around they were doing something funny.

Andy and Nicole had their first meeting on the beach. It is really the perfect time for the bride and groom to really see and appreciate each other before the ceremony. We could have posted even more images from this meeting, it was very special.

The rain held off.... yay, so the ceremony was able to take place on the beach. Everything looked great. The folks at Cape Winds Florist did a great job with the flower arrangements. The long path for Nicole to walk down toward Andy made for a glamorous scene which led into a wonderful beach ceremony.

The cocktail hour began with an amazing spread by the fine people of The Grand Hotel. The entertainment was outstanding. Chris from Steve & Company had this wedding up and dancing all night long!

We would like to thank Kirk of Kirk Hoffman Photography for helping us photograph this event.

Kevin & Karla Engaged

2011-05-17T21:20:00.000-04:00

What an absolutely beautiful evening, the weather and lighting were perfect. The most important part that makes the photographs are the couple. Kevin and Karla worked well with us to get these pic's. Here are a few photo's from Kevin & Karla's engagement session.

Ryan & Jessica

2011-05-16T16:08:00.000-04:00

Earlier in the day the sun was shining bright, but as the day went on it started to look kind of gloomy. We were not sure if we were going to be able to get this session in before it started to rain. As it turned out it got windy and rained a bit which made us hold up for a while and find cover until it calmed down. All that matters is we had fun and got some pic's to prove it.

Mark & Roman

2011-05-09T20:31:00.000-04:00

Mark and I have been friends since playing trumpets in the band and break dancing back in the day (many, many years ago when we were much more limber). When I decided to get involved with photography, Mark took me under his wing and mentored me. He has taught me a great deal about creating and enhancing photographs in order to make them different and interesting. So other day, Mark asked me to take some photographs of him and his son Roman for his wife Jen as a Mother's Day gift, so of course I said no problem.

We came up with a few ideas and found a nice close location (field behind my house), grabbed my two 5D's one with a 35 1.4, the other with an 85 1.8 and off we went. There was no way this session would be complete without Mark getting behind the camera (see images below), but he also did some Photoshop enhancing on a few of these images. So here goes.... the many faces of Roman.

Mark behind the camera...

The image below is one that Mark had photographed later that same day and had given to his wife. I thought it was a real neat image and asked him if I could post it on the blog.

Chuck & Jennifer

2011-05-09T09:43:00.000-04:00

We photographed Jennifer with her siblings which seems like yesterday, but actually was more like a few years ago. So when we got the call from her mother saying "my daughter is getting married and we would like you to photograph her wedding!" we feel very honored and happy that she called us!

As we walked looking for different locations, Jennifer tells us that the two of them are not very good in front of the camera. Well, for as much as they say they do not like to be photographed, their affection for each was evident throughout the session.

Isabella-Holy Communion

2011-04-30T12:20:00.000-04:00

It had stormed earlier in the day, so we were not sure if we would be able to get any outside photographs. Lucky for us, the rain held out for a little while and we were able to some beautiful portraits of Isabella at the park. As we drove back to our house, we were treated to an amazing rainbow! We finished up the session in the studio and even got in a shot with Isabella's American Girl doll. Thank you Isabella for being such a good model.

Stephanie & Mikey-Holy Communion

2011-04-07T13:13:00.000-04:00

The last time we photographed Mikey and Stephanie, Mikey was much younger and would not cooperate. We tried everything you can think of to persuade a toddler to be somewhat happy. Finally, we handed him our studio umbrella and were able to get this portrait.

As you can see, it has been a while since we last photographed the two kids. Since we were going to photograph Mikey's Holy Communion, it gave us an opportunity to get a couple of quick pic's of the two of them. It is really great to see two siblings clowning around with one another. As photographers, we love these kind of fun portraits!

We do not want to leave out how dapper Mikey looked in his suit.

Ava Grace-Holy Communion

2011-04-07T13:11:00.000-04:00

Some images of Ava Grace in her Holy Communion Gown. We also were able to take a photograph with her American Girl Doll.

Tom & Leyna

2011-04-05T12:57:00.000-04:00

As we arrived, we were greeted by a horse on a farm across from their house. The horse came right up to the fence as we got out of our car. Sorry Mr Ed (or Mrs Ed)... we don't have any treats for you today. Leyna was sporting her "soon to be Mrs" shirt and was eager to get things rolling. After photographing the dress and details, Leyna slipped into her dress and we were ready to do her portraits. Leyna looked amazing, and was a perfect model for us. We finished up with some family and bridesmaids pic's.... and then off to the Merion.

A few quick photo's of Tom, his family, and the Groomsmen, we were ready for their "first look". It was very dramatic as Leyna made her way toward Tom down The Merion's long staircase. Words cannot describe this moment as the two of them glanced and then embraced each other. A few formals and then it was time to get married.

The Ceremony was held in the Merion ceremony room. The lights dialed down low added to the ambiance. Immediately following the ceremony was the cocktail hour. Now the Merion knows how to put together a cocktail hour! What a spread!

Following the announcements, the Merion's staff greeted the newlyweds with sparklers and roses. During the reception, Frank of Center Stage Entertainment, had the party rocking all evening long.

We would also like to recognize all the vendors involved in making this a memorable event.

Jersey Shore ShootOut

Over the weekend I was able to attend the 1st Jersey Shore ShootOut. It was a great way to get out, meet new friends, and do some awesome photography! I would also like to mention for all those involved... your efforts were appreciated. The event was a lot of fun. So without further a due... some of my favorites.

Steve & Winnie

2011-03-18T17:55:00.001-04:00

We have known Steve for over 10 years. He has helped us out on many occasions with our photography business, so when Steve and Winnie asked us to photograph their wedding day... we were extremely honored!

At the house we had beautiful natural light coming in from the windows for photographing the wedding details. Next, we captured some moments of Winnie... who by the way looked stunning. Soon after, we were off to the Holiday Inn to photograph Steve and the fellows. Just as we were finishing up with the guys, we were informed that Winnie had arrived.... time for their first meeting photographs. Steve was so excited. He just kept grinning from ear to ear as Winnie made her way into the room and toward him. Ahh.... we love these moments! After a few minutes of hugging and kissing, we gathered up the bridal party and family for the formals.

The ceremony room at the Holiday Inn looked amazing. During the ceremony, it was hard to not notice how happy and joyful Winnie's sisters were. They were each smiling and crying from one second to the next.

Ok... fast forward to the reception. From Steve's brothers toast to the final dance, the evening was filled with joyous laughter! The night was topped off with great music from The Juliano Brothers. Thanks guys for allowing us to be a part of your special day.

Steven & Kerri

2011-02-02T22:50:00.001-05:00

Well the day did not begin as Steven an Kerri planned. A winter snow storm was forecasted.... and did come! No worries, Kerri had an awsome smile throughout the day which in turn made Steven happy. So, with the happy couple showing their love and excitement, family and friends followed suit and this wedding turned into such an event! We would like to thank Stephanie Mosher for helping us photograph this wedding. Here are some of our favorite photographs from Steven and Kerri's wedding.

When we met up with Steve and Colleen at the park, it was a little chilly.... well it was more than chilly, but they toughed it out with us. Our engagement session do not last very long, but in this short period of time we learned so much about these two. The one glaring fact we learned is Steve and Colleen love to be around each other! Check out the photo's and see for yourself.

Just a short trip from the church, we arrived at Renault Winery where the bridal party.... well, just went off the wall. From the time we did the formals to dancing on the dance floor, there were plenty of candid moments to capture!

They are constantly smiling, laughing, and joking with each other. Here are some of our favorites from the session.

Toward the end of our session we had two small deer watching us from afar.

Justin & Jill

2010-10-01T23:14:00.003-04:00

Back in April we photographed Justin and Jill's e-session. The weather that day was quite breezy and chilly. On their wedding day it was a whole different story, they were blessed with pleasent weather for their big day. So, with the great weather, Jill looking absolutely stunning, we were able to capture some great photographs. We also want to mention that Justin looked handsome too. This all comined to help us photograph some great pics!

Colin, Margretann & Baby Jake

2010-09-28T18:15:00.003-04:00

A few years ago, we had the pleasure of photographing our first destination wedding. The bride and groom.... Margretann and Colin.

We would like to start off by saying, we are always thrilled when there are additions to any of our past wedding couples. So when Margretann and Colin called and said they would like us to take their family portrait.... we were excited and honored to meet the new member of their family. When we arrived at the park, Baby Jake was just getting up and looked a little groggy.... this however did not last long. This kid is the equivalent of the Energizer Bunny! Once he got started he did not stop! It was so much fun watching him walk... well run as fast as a little one can run. Here are a few of our favorites.

We were trying to get some photographs of the family walking the path towards us, but Jake had other plans. Here he was actually trying to make Margretann go the other way.... and laughing the whole time!

Drew & Jennifer Engaged

2010-09-24T21:44:00.002-04:00

With their wedding just a few weeks away, we were happy that Drew and Jennifer were able to fit in their e-session. It was a pleasure photographing this cute couple. It seems like it was just yesterday that we were photographing Rob (Drew's brother) and Deb's wedding. Here are some of our favorites.

Devin & Michelle Engaged

2010-09-16T10:06:00.002-04:00

So we headed out to Margate, NJ to see Lucy The Elephant.... oh yeah, and to do a beach e-session. We met up with Devin and Michelle at Lucy and then headed out to the beach. We could have photographed these two all night..... well at least until the sun went down.... which we sort of did anyway. It was just a fun session with a great couple. We are really looking forward to photographing their wedding!

Here are a few of our favorites.

Barbara-Senior Session

2010-09-02T13:25:00.002-04:00

When we first starting out in photography, our niece Barbara was one of first models at age 4. Oh how the time goes by. So we were very excited when she asked us to photograph her Senior session. Thank you Barbara for being such a great model, again!!

Andy & Nikki

2010-09-02T10:39:00.002-04:00

This was our first visit to Longwood Gardens for this e-session. We had such a good time photographing Andy and Nikki, just walking the gardens and seeing all the beauty this park has to offer.

Now there is some history at Longwood Gardens for this couple, Andy informed us that he had been to Longwood Gardens many times growing up. Nikki and Andy continue this tradition and visit the Gardens often. On one of those visits.... Andy asked Nikki to marry him! We are sure there will be more visits in the future.

Jon & Trisha

2010-08-10T13:55:00.004-04:00

We had so much fun last summer photographing Jon & Trisha's e-session on the beach. They showed such great passion and emotion for each other during the session that we could not wait for their wedding!

When we arrived at the house we were greeted by Trisha smiling from ear to ear. You can see the excitement all over her face, which translated into some heartfelt photographs. This is why we love photographing weddings!

The ceremony and reception were held at the Collingswood Ballroom in Collingswood, NJ. The beautiful ceremony was followed by an outstanding reception with good food, fun and a Yahtzee groom's cake. A good time was had by all that attended.

We would like to recognize the venders that made this event a huge success.

Daria & Andy

2010-07-25T20:33:00.003-04:00

We just photographed their engagement session and wham... the wedding is here... and what a wedding it was. At the house, there were so many moments to capture... not enough cameras to photograph them all, but the ones we got were precious.

The energy continued when we arrived at Paradiso Restaurant in Philadelphia. After the ceremony, we took a quick stroll down Passyunk Ave for some photos of Daria and Andy strutting their stuff.... then off to the party.

Thanks Daria and Andy for letting us be a part of this very special day!!!! We would also like to thank Paradiso Restaurant and all employee's for making our jobs easier.... not to mention the fabulous meal. Thanks.... it was fun working with you!

Daria & Andy Engaged

2010-07-08T08:09:00.003-04:00

We were so happy to be able to fit Andy and Daria's e-session in before their big day. We had scheduled them a little over a week ago, but had to cancel due to that crazy rain storm we had. No worries though... we rescheduled and met them over at Washington Lake Park the following week. In the end, we were just looking to photograph some amazing pics of the couple.... mission accomplished!

Dave & Michelle Engaged

2010-06-02T12:34:00.002-04:00

Chris and Casey

2010-05-26T23:22:00.017-04:00

Chris and Casey's wedding day is finally here..... and every bit of fun as advertised! During their e-session, we experienced Chris and Casey's sense of humor..... now add some close friends, family and whola... a bash has erupted.

Then went to photograph Chris and the guys around the corner... let the party begin.

The ceremony was at Maris Stella Catholic Church in Avalon.

A quick pitstop at Chris and Casey's favorite place... The Princeton in Avalon where they met.

Then it was off to beach for some great shots where Chris shows off his surfing skills.

Our final stop... Avalon Yacht Club to complete the evening in style.

Well Chris said he was a romancer... with a little humor. This was one the most clever things we have seen at a wedding. Yo Chris.... your making the rest of guys look like smucks!

Tom & Leyna

2010-05-24T22:41:00.006-04:00

Another session with a great couple. We absolutely love couples like Tom and Leyna. They make our job easier by.... showing their love for one another. Not much else to say about these two.... the photographs should tell their story. Enjoy.

Patrick & Katie

2010-05-14T10:51:00.004-04:00

We started at Katie's parents' house to capture some touching moments. So after all the happy tears, there was laughter from Katie and her bridesmaids... then off to the church.

The ceremony was at St Paul's Catholic Church in Philadelphia, PA. What a neat little part of Philly and an absolutely beautiful church and ceremony.

We next headed to the Philadelphia Art Museum to take some photographs. The weather was perfect for us to get some really great shots!

Our last stop.... Scotland Run Golf Club. We enjoy working here because it is such a classy facility and has a very friendly staff. After another heartfelt speech by Katie's Maid of Honor... there was dancing and partying!

We would like mention Cathedral Video and Steve and Company for working with us on this event.

2010-05-05T17:30:00.005-04:00

As we conversed with our couple, RJ informed us that he practiced all week smiling. We really do not think he needed to practice. He has a great natural smile which intensified just being around Megan, which in turn, put a smile on her face too! So many fun pic's to choose from... here are a few of our fav's.

Justin & Jill Engaged

2010-04-29T20:52:00.008-04:00

Well the beginning of 2010 has been strange weather wise. Just a week ago the weather was quite comfortable. Todays e-session had plenty of great light, but it was windy and quite chilly. This however did not stop Justin and Jill from giving us some great photographs.
