Michaela and Michael - Wedding

This past weekend, I was lucky to be able to cover Michaela and Michael's wedding in LBI (Long Beach Island). They have a great house rented for the entire event. The night before the wedding, the had a formal cocktail dinner for the guests that arrived into town early. The day of the wedding, started out slightly cloudy, but the sun eventually broke through. The entire group of guests were extremely kind and LOTS of fun. Here is a preview of my weekend of work fun.

Melissa and Brian - 2nd Shoot

I was recently working with Cyndi Klose to photograph Melissa and Brian's wedding in Harrisburg.  I was hanging out with the guys, covering them until the start of the wedding.  The wedding was just down the street of the PA state capital building (made for a great backdrop).  It was a great group of family and friends the whole day and the rain held out the entire night!  The reception was at the lovely Milestone Inn in Harrisburg.

Extra Credit :)

So outside of weddings, I like to stay busy and keep ideas fresh in my head for new picture ideas - kinda some personal "extra credit".  Just a few days ago, a few other wedding photographer friends and I got together and arranged a session with some local models.  Not being under the pressure of a wedding day, the point of this exercise was to try out some different ideas and also to try some new equipment out.  The new and amazing Canon 200mm f/2.0 IS lens was on loan from Canon and I got to play with review it.  My personal short use review of it... it is a wonderful lens and I want one.

 (update):  Thanks also goes out to Craig Single (Craig's shots) for letting me try the sweet lens out while he had it on loan.  My good friends, Stacie Lech (Stacie's blog) and Mark Gardner (Mark's shots) were also in attendance.
