Jess & Dave plus the Long Island Rollergirls and the Buzzards

Jess & Dave proved to put on one of the best weddings we've ever photographed.

Here are the facts:

• The wedding was held at an amazing mansion in Washingtonville, New York.
• It rained. If you are in the northeast section of the United States - you know it's rain just about every weekend for 3 months straight.
  
• Jess rocked out some pretty sweet peacock tattoos.
• The Buzzards played some sweet rockabilly, Johnny Cash and Social Distortion.
• Dad had a Noblex panoramic camera - how amazing is that.
• The Long Island Rollergirls knew how to have fun.
  

Here are the photos:

Bethlehem, Pa (Walker Evans Remembered)

Around the year 2000 I took a photo of a Walker Evans 1936 Bethlehem, Pa. It remains one of my favorite photos despite the scratch on the negative. Link:
Walker Evans Bethlehem in Bethlehem:


This year I had planned on going back. To capture the graveyards and the landscape of Bethlehem that Walker Evans captured in the mid 1930s. With the birth of our twins and their extended stay in the NICU, I decided to make a quick pit stop for 15minutes in nearby Bethlehem. Luckily I had a tilt shift lens much like what was used in the 1930s by photographers.

Here is what I found:

Disclaimer:

We are looking for fun brides who like Social Distortion, the Ramones, Rancid, Johnny Cash, punk rock or rockabilly. If you consider yourself an anti-bride, an offbeat bride, a tattooed groom or tattooed bride, then you've definitely come to the right place.

2010 is calling for all tattooed brides & punk rock grooms. Note: 2009 is only open for punk rock baby/kid/family sessions & trash the dress (sorry to the dozens of brides we turn away a month).

Announcing Evan Pierce & Caleb Michael Allebach

We were scheduled to leave for a mini vacation Friday morning but instead we were blessed with the arrival of Evan Peirce & Caleb Michael at 10:55 and 10:56 about 2 months earlier than expected. They weigh in at a mere 3lbs 12ozs - little guys. They are expected to take 5 weeks in the Level III NICU over an hour from our home. Take a look at a few photos from the first 2 days of their life.

A Wedding In Black and White: Dennis & Marichka

Dennis & Marichka were a dream to capture on their wedding day - so emotive - so beautiful - so in love. Photos were a big part of their day - they made sure they planned their day so they could have the important photos captured - making my job easy. Here is their wedding day in black and white.

Enjoy.

Love is.

Love is.

Over the last few days in Pennsylvania it has been unseasonably warm HOT. For clarification, hot enough to roast a marshmallow on the pavement!

Here are a few photos from the 5 engagement sessions we had in the last 2 weeks. These engagement photos were taken across Doylestown, Bridgeport, Philadelphia & Lancaster.

So things are a bit crazy. We are planning for babies 2 & 3 currently and working on albums and countless session in the next few days. So were still around. If you are looking for a photographer for 2010, we are still booking but I'm guessing that we'll be booked up by the time 2010 rolls around.
