Backyard wedding photography with a pig roast in Maryland

Sunday, November 30th, 2008

Classy indoor weddings with the artwork, candles and mood lighting are great. You all know I love them. But I experienced one of the ultimate American traditions in October with Karen & Rick … the backyard wedding.

I’ll admit, I was a bit skeptical at how nice the day would be. On outdoor wedding in October carries some risk. But I couldn’t have been more pleased, and I had the honor of being involved with an amazing family who enjoyed rural living, beautiful skies and nature at its best. This Philadelphia Photographer is thrilled with the results.

Karen and Rick had the wedding at a family member’s house in Hampstead, MD and the scenery was fantastic. The weather was perfect, and I don’t know if the sky could get more blue.

One of the best parts of the day, for all of us, was the extra time set aside for pictures on these old Minneapolis Moline tractors. They’re rusted over, but so hott in pictures. And of course, much credit must go to the wedding party for being so open with sitting on dirt, rust and logs.

They even had a pig roast and beer truck, which were perfect accompaniments for everyone. The guests were pleased. The food was amazing. It was a blast. Congrats you two. We’re thrilled!

Great Baltimore Wedding Photographs…even under the weather

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

Some people fall in adversity. Others crumble. But not Elizabeth and Scott. These two didn’t allow anything to get in the way of their great Baltimore wedding plans!

On Sept. 27, I faced the third hardest rain storm in my 10 years of photography. It rained, and poured and rained some more. But the two of them didn’t allow it to interfere with their day. They kept positive, vibrant, and in Elizabeth’s case, radiant! All day, she looked amazing. Scott wasn’t too shabby either, but you have to give credit to the joy Elizabeth shared with everyone all day! The two of them are great.

It was an honor for me to be a part of this wedding because Scott and I went to high school together at La Salle College High School. Yes, it was all boys. Don’t remind me…haha. But it was a great experience, and it was great to catch up with so many La Salle gentlemen. It became a mini-reunion, with of course, the guests of honor stealing the show.

They chose a great hotel, the Intercontintal Harbor Court in Baltimore, to get ready, allowing us to get fantastic shots like this of Elizabeth below, and the guys outside:

As you can see, the rain was sizeable…
