Brittany + Matthew’s Speedy Hartwood Acres Engagement

Last night I met with Brittany and Matthew at Hartwood Acres in the Fox Chapel area. Our session scheduled for two hours but had to be cut a bit short because they were stuck in the insane traffic that U2 caused throughout all of Pittsburgh last night. Although we were racing to beat the sunset, I had an absolutely blast working with Brittany and Matt. They have such a great sense of humor, so much love radiating from them, serious tree-climbing skills, and they are absolutely fearless. No matter the strange ways I asked them to pose or the awkward bushes I asked them to crawl into (this happened more than once) – they were more than happy to do it! I am so looking forward to their wedding next summer!

Just a few from the session:

Finally! 2012 Packaging

Every wedding photographer knows that is a long (and I do mean long!) and tiring process to find the perfect wedding packaging for your work. It’s very important to present each client with their discs, prints, albums and other products in a signature and attractive way. Most recently I have been playing around with these cute little suitcases, recycled CD slips, and white and cream lace. After 4 long months of trying different things, I do believe that I’ve finally stumbled upon the perfect packaging for my work. What do you think?

(Note that this particular package included only discs, while orders with more products will be sent in larger suitcases – but I don’t want to give away all of my secrets just yet!)

While I’m still perfecting this packaging, it won’t officially be heading out to every client until November of this year. I’m so excited about this and I certainly hope you all love it as much as I do!

Kathy Rooney + Ray Sokolowski’s Art and Spirit magazine shoot

Visited Kathy Rooney and Ray Sokolowski’s (RaRa) studio to get some shots for ART AND SPIRIT, a new magazine that will release it’s first issue in October 2011. Here are just a few shots from the day. I’ll post a few different photos that will be featured in the magazine along with purchase information once the issue is available!
