Michael and Cathie | Wedding Photography Hagerstown, MD

Michael and Cathie…where do I even start?  Cathie and I hit it off immediately.  She is a social worker and we have many of the same ideas and thoughts on saving the world.  Cathie has a heart of gold and it shows in everything she does.  I have a feeling that she often puts herself last in order to take care of others.  Every guest at their wedding had an important place in their lives, from former bosses that encouraged Cathie to get her degree to life long friends and mentors.

The ceremony was short and sweet with very special vows given.  Reverend Robin Littlefeather Hannon,  http://www.abidinglovewed.com/index.html , officiated the ceremony.  Cathie, made her own cake and did her own flowers….I’m not quite sure how she managed to do it all, but she did a FANTASTIC job!!!

Thank you Michael and Cathie for allowing me to be a part of your very special day!!!!

Goin’ Across the Big Pond | MD/PA Wedding Photography

Very exciting news…I got a call from a bride to be in the UK!!  She wants me to come there to do their wedding photos!  Talk about exciting!!!  I need to get my passport, ASAP!!!!  Wedding isn’t until 2011, but I can not wait to photograph this wedding.  I have never been to England before (obviously, if I have to get my passport) and I have this romantic yet rustic vision of what it will be like.  Can you tell I am just a wee bit excited???

Winter Blues | MD/PA Photographer

It’s February…it’s been cold…very cold…and now…snow…and more snow…did I mention even more snow???  18- 24 inches tomorrow…GREAT!!!

To cure the winter blues, I’ve got a few studio projects up my sleeve…I may need a few models for these projects.  One, of which, requires a fog machine and strobe lights (think disco strobes, not studio strobes).  hmmmm….who knows what I might get myself into.   If you are interested in being a model for some of my experiments, give me call…I’ll see what I can come up with.  Like I said…I have lots of crazy ideas going on in my head!!!

Sarah and Michael Engagement Session

We lucked out last Saturday with the weather!!  After rain and cold weather, the heavens opened up and gave us some glorious sun and warmer temperatures.

So, here is a small sneak peek of our session….
