Amy and Josh - 2nd shoot

I was helping my good friend, Nicole Polk, photograph Amy and Josh's wedding in Philadelphia.  I started out with the guys while they were getting ready.  Amy and Josh have an AWESOME place near the Italian Market. After some getting ready pictures, I headed over to the Masonic Temple, where the Ceremony was held.  Being the first time I was inside of this place, I was amazed and the detail and architecture inside. After the ceremony, we walked over to the Loews hotel (with a few short stops along the way for some urban portraits) for the reception.

Here's a few I snapped that day...

Jen and Todd

A few weeks back, I photographed Jen and Todd's wedding. To say this day was a bit crazy - an understatement :)  I say this because I have been friends with these two and most of the bridal party for many years.  It's so much fun to work with friends on such a happy day.

The ceremony was held at St. Bede's in Holland, PA and the reception followed at Springmill Country Club in Warminster.  In between, the we made a trip to Tyler State Park in Newtown, for some fun portraits. My Friend Meagan Ebersole tagged along with me, while another friend - Derek Dienner was hired to shoot the video.  His work should be up soon - check it out!

Here's a preview of the day (a slideshow at the bottom)

Welcome!!!

Well, here it is! you may notice a new name and logo - same great pictures though!

"Your Timeless Photos"  has served me very well, but it was time to transition to something that spoke a little bit more "Me".

There are a bunch of new posts coming down the line - and a new website should be launching soon! - till then the original site is still up and running.

Janelle and Angelo - 2nd Shoot

The second part of my double header weekend had me working with my other really good friend, Leslie Gilbert, of Mt. Joy, PA.  We were photographing Janelle and Angelo's wedding.  Janelle was one of our models from our shootout back in May (http://yourtimelessphotos.com/blog/2009/05/lancaster-photog-shootout/).  Having met her before and had LOTS of fun shooting that day, made it like we were all just a bunch of friends hanging out together :)

Janelle is working to become a wedding planner herself... and if she puts in even only half of the work she put into her own wedding, she is going to be extremely successful.  Their wedding cake was shaped to be a bowl of oatmeal! (that was part of their first date)... be sure to check out Leslie's blog for the slideshow... there is a pic of the cake there.  There was even a limbo contest and hula hoop contest to bring back memories for their friends from school.

Graca and Florentino - 2nd Shoot

A couple of weeks back, as part of a double header weekend I had, I was helping my really good friend Mark Gardner shoot Graca and Florentino's wedding at the Chesapeake Bay Hyatt in Cambridge, Maryland.  Our friend Darrel Aubert (aubertfilms.com), was also working at this wedding too.  He is a very talented videoographer... check out his blog for the preview trailer he put together.

Take a peak a few images I got from the day.
