Admittedly, I got this idea from another photographer, but it seemed like it would be a ton of fun. Below is the voting booth to select the best moments from 2009. This was REALLY hard for me to pick one image from each wedding in 2009…REALLY hard! There are a mix of fun, emotional, serious, portraits, and all sorts of image types.
So, each wedding from 2009 has one image and the image that gets the most votes wins. The first place winner gets a 16×20 canvas print from their wedding and a $100 $200 Visa gift card. The second and third place images will each receive a $50 $100 Visa gift card.
Here are the rules and how it works:
- Voting runs from Saturday, January 23 to Friday, February 12
- You can only vote once per computer
- Results are not shown and will be announced Wednesday, February 17
- Make sure you leave a comment below to attract more votes to your favorite images!

I am rereading a great book, God Is at Eye Level, by Jan Phillips. It is a great book about how photography is an emotional process and sometimes a healing art. It has helped me become a photographer of moments at weddings. I am always looking for those moments between the couple, with family, and family. After I had mastered the art of classic portraiture and getting those all important family portraits it has been this book that helped me become who I am as a wedding photographer.
In the first chapter of the book it has the reader try and recall what photography meant as a child. There are two distinctive memories I have about photography. The first is going to the picture drawer in my parents room. In their desk, the second drawer on the left, was the picture drawer. It had pictures jammed into the drawer as well as a large box of pictures of the family and our trips. I would spend hours just looking through the images and remembering, or being told, what was going on in the image.
One image that is also one of my best memories, is this picture.
It is me and if I remember right it was taken at a lake in Michigan, close to where I was born in Elmhurst, Illinois. My dad took it and the large print of it hung next to his dresser in his room. I always loved looking at it, and of course being competitive that it was me and not my brothers. When my dad passed away I asked my mom if I could have it, and she agreed. When our youngest son, Daniel, was about the same age as I was in the image, he insisted that it was a picture of him.
So those are two memories as a child that has made me into the photographer I am today. What is your favorite picture as a child? How did images impact you when you were growing up?

This is a great article from Seattle Bride Magazine about why hiring a real wedding photographer is better than hiring a friend with a good camera! Read the article HERE. The part of the article that struck me the most was this
“He knew how to manipulate the room’s light and reflective surfaces in ways I never would have dreamed of, transforming what I thought was an unremarkable setting into a photo studio with endless possibilities.”
Yeah, we don’t see an ugly hotel room, we see possibilities!

I might be part of a dieing breed of photographers that still use film as part of the wedding experience. While the majority of what I shoot is digital, I still shoot a few rolls of black and white film, and sometimes color film, at weddings. You might be thinking…wait can’t you just do that with Photoshop with digital images? Yes, to a certain extent, and if you like sitting in front of the computer for long hours editing images to look like film.
I prefer the method of actually shooting film. The way I am able to make it happen, is with the help of Philadelphia Photographics. One of the last professional labs left in the Philadelphia region. The process the old school way and are amazing. So, instead of spending hours at the computer, I drop my rolls of film off at Philly Photographic and they develop and scan the film, than mail it back to me. Pretty awesome!

Working with Caroline and Josh was meant to be…long story short both Caroline and Josh knew one of my past couples. So, after spending time with them in Washington, DC for their engagement session I learned about how awesome their relationship truly means to each other. So, on a cold and windy day I headed into New York City with my friend Erik Matey. We had a great time, almost froze walking back from the reception, and got some amazing images of their day. First, here are a couple of my favorites from the day…then the slideshow below
So here is their story…

Over the past two months time has flown. Albums were designed, printed and delivered at a record pace! Weddings stopped back in November and December has been a month of catching up. Kate’s website, www.singleexposure.com/kate, was launched and is moving along. Preparations for 2010 weddings is well underway…in fact starting on Saturday with Caroline & Josh’s wedding in Manhattan. Can’t wait to start up again!
Once Caroline and Josh’s wedding is done it will be a couple months off to catch my breath for the busy spring and summer. In that time I’ll have a chance to review the past year, learn from the past, and prepare for the future. As I think through the past year and as the sun sets on 2009 I leave you with this image, one of my favorites from the year…and more favorites to follow in the next month.

Thanks to the power of Facebook I was reconnected with a high school classmate, Jen Clark. Since we graduated with only 212 other students, it was a pretty small group. So we all knew each other and when Jen was looking for a photographer for her wedding, she contacted me! Here is their slideshow of a gorgeous, intimate, wedding held at Founder’s Hall on the Milton Hershey campus. Enjoy!
