A Dickerson Maryland Wedding.

When Brent and Paula first met it was pairing by friends.   Who knew that they would fall in love and get married.   The wedding was held in a small but gorgeous chapel adorned with flowers by Amour Flowers and who’s minister was the father of the bride who also performed the Wedding Ceremony.  The day was filled with splashes of Blue and Orange, as those were the colors of the wedding day for Brent and Paula.  All of the music during the ceremony was performed by Chris Dunn a Classical Guitarist. This was a very much pleasing change to that of an  organist who are more traditional in most weddings.
After a brief moment for family portraits and some outside images, the wedding party moved on to the reception at Dutch’s Daughter in Frederick Maryland. The events entertainment was provided by Shew-sical Entertainment though I might add that Brent the Groom was quite entertaining during the evening himself.
The cake for the traditional Cake cutting was provided by The Artful Cake A simple two layer cake adorned with blue ribbons.
Please enjoy these images as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Meet Brent and Paula, A Perfect Match

Brent and Paula will have a very special date to remember on July 31, 2010.   Besides the fact that they will have to share that Date with Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mevinsky.  Brent and Paula’s Wedding will be more memorable.   Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of shooting their engagement photos for this weekends Wedding, and talk about a fun couple.   They are a perfect match and it shows in every look they give each other and how they hold hands.

Please enjoy these photos just as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Lindsey, Shamus a Wedding to Remember.

Saturday June 12, 2010 will be a Wedding to remember.   Not because of the Hot temperatures, or the 90 percent humidity, or  a battery pack that decided to fail.   No, that day will NOT be remembered for any of the above.    That day will be remembered for a very Quaint and Beautiful Wedding in Brunswick Maryland.    A very rustic Church in the center of the town and a very family oriented reception the the Eagles Club of Brunswick.

Please enjoy these images from Lindsey and Shamus Wedding Day.

A special Thanks should go out to:

Denim and Diamond Entertainment (DJ)Andrea and Mike Lacasse for the Music.

Copyright or Copywrite Who caught it?

For the last three months I had made a blunder in my proofs that I was hoping I would get some sort of comments back about.   But after all this time and at least 14 thousand hits, only one comment about my misspelling of Copyright.   This will become a topic of conversation in the future because this was in fact an experiment as to who really takes notice to these details.    Even more important, this subject will be apart of a campaign for my Senior Portraits Next Year.   So Keep looking for this Copywrite to show up again.  Hint.
Empowering teachers to make positive change.   International Reading Association launched the 1,000 Lights for Literacy Fund, an exciting new giving program that will award large grants to teachers to power literacy programs right in the classroom.

Start Looking this Fall for the start of this project.

Nicole and Adam An Engagement Portrait.

Just this last Friday night on May 7th, 2010 and before heading up to Pennsylvania, I had a wonderful Engagement Portrait Session with Nicol and Adam.  We pick the beautiful settings of Monument Park between Hagerstown and Middletown Maryland just on the Adirondack Trail.   Besides being followed by an swarm of gnats, the images that I captured were just stunning.   I could feel and see in my camera the love that this couple have for each other.

I hope you enjoy these images as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Web Site Rebuild in the Planning Stages

With the release of the new Apple IPad and more people investing into smart phone like the Apple IPhone, I have discovered than my web site functional and attractive is not friendly to the new browser devices hitting the streets today.  My big concern today is the ability to put my artistic skills out in front of the local public, even if its by means of a web enabled cell phone.

The Problem lies in my Studio Site.  This site is old having built this site 4 years ago, it’s also FLASH based and that’s where the rub is.   Almost all mobile devices today cannot handle web pages that have been written in FLASH.   In order for a page to display, the internal browser on the mobile device must have a copy the FLASH reader loaded.   Well there is no FLASH Reader that will load on most browser on the most popular mobile devices today, and Adobe has indicated that they have no plans at this time to develop a FLASH Reader in the immediate future.

Along come HTML 5 to the rescue.   After view some very remarkable demonstrations over the past few weeks, I decided that I move to convert my Studio Web Site to HTML 5.   But just hold on there.  This is not going to be a over night project and over that last few weeks, we have been looking at some needed changes.

Graphics and Photography is key to the display on my site and before I jump in the boiling pot of HTML 5, allot of major planning and design has to take place.

In the mean time minor improvements will continue on the current site, and even some testing of ideas and designs will surface from time to time.    But I do release the new site, there will be allot of fanfare and special promotions that will be associated with the opening of the new site.
