Even though I moved to the Philadelphia area earlier this year, and just recently set up shop in Blue Bell, PA, the summer has been a busy one. I’ve been pretty fortunate. Since the Spring, I have been working with two excellent photographers in the area, who have kept me busy doing what I love, which is shooting.
Rob Nicholson of Humbled Eyes Photography has been a great guy to work with and a constant source of information and inspiration to me. I happened to run into his advertisement looking for someone to help him out with his busy shooting schedule in the Delaware beach area, and it has turned out to be great. I also have been working with Stephanie Sherwood of Voch Wedding Photography, and have shot a few weddings with her in New Jersey.
The picture? Taken at Cara & Mike’s wedding that I shot with Stephanie in July out in Ocean City, NJ as Cara and her sister (also her maid of honor) were enjoying the ocean breeze on the balcony of the bridal suite before heading to the church. Despite the fact that the wedding took place in Ocean City, it was not a typical beach wedding. Instead of having the ceremony on the beach, it was held at a church a few blocks away. After the ceremony, we took a trolley ride to the beach, and photographed the new husband and wife, along with their bridal party under a wooden pier that extended over the beach and into the water, where the surf provided both the soundtrack and the background. A quick stop at one of the amusement parks that are right on the boardwalk for some shots on the carousel, and off to the party we went!
The reception was at the Flanders Hotel, which is just one block off of the boardwalk. There was lots and lots of great food, and lots of family and friends there to celebrate the happy couple! A great time was had by all, and it was a pleasure to have been a part of it.
This was just one of the great weddings I have been to, and had the privilege of photographing this summer. I’ll be spending a little time catching up here with everything that I’ve done, especially since heading in to the fall, I am looking at a wedding almost every weekend through the months of September and October, so I would like to tell the stories of the summer weddings before I dive headlong into the fall season.
