I have plans to blog again and it will most likely be a different format then I have in the past. So dont loose hope, but for now check us out over HERE.

Its completely open to the public and you do not need to be a Facebook member to view the page.

We have been shooting engagements non stop for two weeks straight and I have been really behind with this part of the business. But there is some good news there is a new blog coming in a few weeks that will be maintained way more frequently!

Until then take a look at these engagement photos, Lori and Eddie worked it for sure : ) Eddie is by far one of the most comfortable people in front of the camera I have ever met! Combine that with how beautiful Lori is and we get some amazing photos.

Its not because of the love they have for each other, thats obvious to anyone around them. Its because before we shot their engagement session in NYC, they brought ronnie and I a bottle of Grey Goose.

In my book that makes them perfect : )

So what does everyone think of the blog returning to its original glory started way back in 2008?

So the time to blog these has kinda slipped away from me. I figured this would be a nice way to bring the blog back into the mix.
I have some good news actually, I plan to change the blog around a bit and make it more fun, instead of a ton of wedding slideshows over and over again, that kinda sucks. So for now I have returned to the old way of posting. Im going to only blog a few of my favorite images from each wedding/session so I don’t bore everyone. Ok enough from me, pretty picture time.

Add that to the completely eroded beach and you get these. Pretty cool stuff.

I met the Avezzano’s 16 or so years ago and would occasionally see them around. I don’t think Mike knew I was a wedding photographer. But not many 10 year olds would. So when it came time to plan his wedding, Nicole told him she had a photographer in mind that she wanted to use and showed Mike our website. “Wait, I know that guy”.  I was shocked to see Mike show up at the office for our consultation but was so happy that they were considering me after all these years. Another connection was made when I found out that Nicole was a Larkin. My wife Catherine’s family has been friends with the Larkins for 50 something years.  So at this point I had to do this wedding!

This is what I love about shooting weddings. Connections made years ago are quickly renewed and it is like old times. Everyone knows everyone and that just makes my job easier.
