Well its officially spring in Erie PA, but mother nature doesnt seem to think so...Its still snowing, lol. I'm ready for some warmer weather personally, but i guess i wouldnt have time to blog if I was out doing "warm weather things". lol.

Summer 09 bookings picked up a bunch in the past few weeks, which is a good thing. I think Ive met with something like 10 brides and grooms in the past 2 or 3 weeks to talk about their 2009 weddings. THANKS!

Anyways, this is my first attempt at posting a "webshow" of images....so we will see how this goes. These are some sample spreads of the storybook albums that I offer. Let me know what you think.

The first wedding of the year is this weekend, I'm real excited to get the season started, and I will post some of the images once i get a few retouched and ready.

HAVE FUN!, blog to you soon

Welcome everyone to the new website. I don’t know if any of you had viewed the previous site, but we’ve revamped our whole business identity and website in hopes to have a more structured and modern business. I am totally siked about how it all turned out. My photography and your wedding images have never looked better. It’s the little things like this that get me incredibly excited about this summers weddings to come.
Tony Oshlick was my head designer for getting this website project done. Hes a longtime friend of mine, and by far the best graphic designer I’ve seen. He said he would be more than happy to do save the date cards, programs, etc for brides. I have seen weddings in the past where the bride and groom have actually created there own custom logo and design scheme for everything in their wedding…..everything from their pre wedding hoodies, to programs, down to the napkins at the reception. True these were a lil higher price range weddings…but still a cool idea.
Last but not least on this first blog on the new site.. I just want to thank all of you, future and past clients, or just readers of my ramblings. Making beautiful images for you all means more to me than you can imagine. Its truly my life’s passion, and the “memories” I can give you through these images have become a huge part of my life and well-being. Thank You!

I just wanted to let everyone know that I do offer engagement photo sessions. I figured I would post a few on here since I don’t really advertise them anywhere else in my packages or websites. Engagement sessions are usually around $200 and you get all of your images on CD with that. You can put them up on your facebook or myspace and show everyone how cute you guys look together. HAHAHA joking!.....but seriously, you can!. They’re usually fun to shoot….I like to go on location, anywhere fun we can think of. Here are my 5 favorites from the past year or two.

I’m up at the Erie Panera (my usual blog spot).… between the website and retouching wedding images I swear this laptop never leaves my hands. LOL.
Some of you may know Katie Ayers my assistant…. She has assisted me at many of your weddings, she will be assisting me at more weddings this summer, and she is also starting to shoot her own weddings this summer. In prep for this she has done a few shoots of me with our new equipment. Check out some of her shots…. She got some really nice results.
