NEW Websites! {Philadelphia Photographers}

I’m so excited to announce the arrival of my brand new websites!  I decided to take a cleaner, fresh approach to my wedding website but went for whimsy with my portraits site.  Head on over to my Philadelphia Wedding Photographers website to see the fabulous new duds and be sure to stop by the Delaware Portrait Photographers website as well.  I love feedback, so stop on back here and leave me a comment with your thoughts on the new sites!

And for your viewing pleasure, here’s a sneak peek at a cute little bitty who will be gracing the blog very shortly.  To me, this photo defines “A picture is worth a thousand words.”  And then some.

iPhoneography

I have waited patiently, since that very first day that the original iPhone was announced, for it to come to Verizon.  My husband and I have been Verizon customers since 2000 and I certainly wasn’t going to give them up any time soon.  So I waited.  The day finally came, just about one year ago, when I was finally able to have my cake and eat it too.  an iPhone!  on Verizon!!  Woot!  Of course, I have cherished this small electronic device since the day it came into my life and I would venture to say that it has made me a better photographer.  I have taken photos nearly every day with it, observing the world around me and rediscovering places I thought I had long since exhausted of photographic opportunity.  Is every image perfect?  Of course not.  Some are blurred, some are fuzzy.  But they are moments of my life that I can’t get back, that are now forever documented because I had with me a tool to capture these snippets of daily life, when I wouldn’t have had a camera with me otherwise.  The best camera is the one that’s with you, they say.

On January 1st, 2012, I embarked on a journey to take a photo EVERY SINGLE DAY for a year with a 366 project.  Mostly these images are coming from my iPhone but about once a week or so, I pull out the “real camera.” ;)  After having proudly finished my first month of this project (which I will share soon!), I was looking back over the past year of my life, captured by my iPhone, and I decided it needed a proper chronicle.  Take a look at the book I made featuring my 2011 iPhone Art.

Kitty Knight House Wedding :: Beth & Mike

Beth & Mike were blissfully married in a wonderful waterfront wedding celebration at the Kitty Knight House.  With a tiffany blue themed wedding, color coordination wasn’t the only perfect coordination to commend here, however.  I was excited to be working with the fine ladies of Proud to Plan on this delightful day, as they pulled off yet another outstanding event without a hitch.  Beth was breathtaking, having had hair & makeup done by non other than Gloss Salon, whom I highly recommend – I just love Bethany and crew, they do a top notch job and are so wonderful to work with.  Bings Bakery handled the cake (another favorite vendor!), Elana’s Broad Street Florist provided the fabulous florals and Synergetic Sounds kept the dance floor jam packed through the night.  With the help of these experienced vendors, Beth & Mike were able to enjoy their day, and each other, without worrying about a thing.  Special thanks to my friend Karlo Gesner for hanging out and contributing some great photos to their story.  Take a look at their day…
