Antiqua + Tyrone - Poconos Wedding Photographer

We have so many awesome couples that book us for weddings that it's hard to pick a favorite. Antiqua and Tyrone are right up there on the list.

Antiqua found us through the PPA last year. She had heard some horror stories about wedding photographers and I think she was a little nervous when she met us. By the time our meeting was over, she seemed to be more relaxed with us and didn't hesitate to say yes to booking with us.

They live in NYC, so we kept in contact via email for the winter and booked an engagement session for late spring/early summer.

Although the weather man was calling for rain the day of the wedding, it held off until after we got inside for the reception. We LOVE overcast days for shooting! Antiqua was gorgeous, and absolutely beamed as she walked down the isle.

After the ceremony, we dragged them up to the basketball court for some fun shots of just them.

I know Antiqua and Tyrone will be very happy together. We loved working with you and hope to do so again!

Keri + Eric = Wedding

Keri and Eric's wedding was our first military wedding. Military guys, classic cars, Memorial Day weekend, can't get much better! They had a beautiful day for their wedding. Hot! But beautiful!

Someone had asked permission for us to shoot the formals at some random house along the way to the reception. It was a great setting for the formals, as well as the not too formal bridal party shots.

As I write, Eric is oversees, fighting for his country. Keri, Eric, and all military familes out there...thank you for all the sacrifices that you make for us all every day! Eric, we wish you a safe tour. It was an honor to be chosen to shoot your wedding!

O-HI-O!

Last month we took a trip to Ohio for the weekend. This was a meetup with some friends we've met through our lab. We have meetups in different cities and states every once in a while. This gives us an opportunity to brainstorm, learn new techniques, improve our skills, and meet a lot of great photographers!

This meetup's schedule was packed full. Most of us arrived on Friday. We went out to dinner for a meet and greet, then went back to our friend Marti's studio to share samples of books, collages and other examples of our work. This was great. We were able to see vendor's products without having to purchase them.

Saturday we got off to an early start. We had the opportunity to eat breakfast at an amish home. There were also some photo ops at the property. We then met at Marti's studio for some classes on babies and toddlers. This is Marti's specialty, and she does it well! What a cute bunch of models she had there!

Next was a class on pet photography, by Ashley and Matt. They showed us how they wrangle the pets in their studio.

We broke for a little bit of lunch, then it was off to one of the local churches for some wedding photography. We had 2 models, Joy who was local, and Siri, who was a fellow photographer who graciously volunteered to model for us.

Back to Kara's studio for some studio/senior setups. We broke for dinner, took our group photo and left for home. Whew! Tired yet? We sure were. We had to drive all night since we were vendors at a prom show here at home, the next day.

It was nice to see old friends, and make some new ones! I always have a blast and learn so much at these meetups. I can't wait for my next one!

Of course, I have to leave you with some of my favorite images of the weekend.
