Lake Naomi for Lindsey and Rob's engagement pictures
I was thrilled when Lindsey suggested we do her and Rob's engagement pictures at Lake Naomi Club. It's now one of my favorite places to shoot in the Poconos. It a great setting for wedding and engagement pictures. The shots at the boathouse a little ways down in my blog are my faves.

Get it? They are tying the ....
Rob pretty much did not enjoy getting his picture taken. However, toward the end of the shoot, Lindsey and I thought he actually was getting into it a little bit. Personally, I think he likes it! We will see how he does at the wedding!

Erin & Jason's Saint Patrick's Day wedding in the snow
It was the best of all worlds when Erin and Jason tied the knot on Saint Patrick's Day. Combine a winter wedding with Saint Patrick's Day, Irish dancers, snow and Guinness and that adds up to the perfect wedding!
I spent the morning with Erin and her family as she got ready for her wedding. My assistant, Melissa, stopped by Jason's family's house to take photos of the him and his family.

Gina Romeo and Steve Sando's wedding in Harrisburg
A mutual friend connected me with Gina and Steve in the spring of 2011. That's when we got together for their engagement pictures. Not long after, they booked me to be their wedding photographer. While most of my weddings are in the Pocono Mountains, I looked forward to the trip to photograph their wedding at Park Inn by Radisson in Harrisburg. Thanks to Brenda Friday for introducing me to Gina and Steve and good luck to both of you!

Gina's father walked her down the isle at Park West Inn. About 80 friends and family were gathered to watch Gina and Steve exchange their vows.
These next three pictures are among my favorites from the wedding. They are all candid, spontaneous pictures. When brides talk about photojournalism wedding photography, I think this is what they mean.
My favorite moment at the wedding was when Gina and her father shared a dance. Gina's niece found a nice spot to watch them dance. I wanted to shoot the dance from the way she was watching it and I think it worked out great. Another example of photojournalism wedding photography.
The rest of the night was a ton or partying and dancing. Gina and Steve's families and friends make me feel so welcome that I felt like I was part of the wedding party. I know Gina and Steve are just beginning a lifetime of happiness together. They are two of favorite people I have ever photographed.

Ruth and Bruce elope to Skytop Lodge
I was thrilled when Bruce Shenk called me about his plan to elope to Skytop Lodge in Skytop, Pennsylvania in October 2012. I loved his plan and thought it was a great idea to book a professional photographer for their intimate wedding.

Reverend Alt performed the short ceremony during a perfect fall evening in the Poconos. After they said their vows, Ruth and Bruce, who live near Harrisburg, let me show them around Skytop Lodge and we found some nice spots to do a few more pictures.
Photographing weddings at Skytop Lodge is always a treat. I love the setting, the inn, the grounds and the staff. Skytop has so many photogenic backdrops and that gives so many options for bridal party shots. Even if you just stop at Skytop for lunch, I highly recommend spending some time here. And try to time it around a holiday to see world class themed decorations!

Great family portraits require planning
This fall, I connected with James Mack, his brother Tim, and their families at one of my favorite spots for photography in the Poconos- The Old Mill in Sciota. I've known James for years and it was a great opportunity to get to know his family better. We spent an hour or two exploring the mill.

Tim and Brenda were in the Poconos for just a few days. They were game for the photo shoot though. A great family!
If you follow my work, you know I love photographing kids. The Mack's were fantastic to work with and I really these images. Please remember that great and lasting family portraits don't just happen- they take planning and execution. Please call or email if you want to chat about your family portraits. Thank you...
