That dog pooping there is Drake, Tara & Carmen's loyal companion. I guess he wanted to go ahead and get that out of the way before he joined us for the rest of the engagement session. We played with the pup at Milton Hershey School (Founders Hall), Carmen played a little guitar while Tara swooned, and we explored downtown Harrisburg all the way until sunset.
Tara & Carmen are getting married September 4th, 2016 @ Historic Acres of Hershey. Leave them some love in the comments!
"we got engaged at Pawn Run Saloon"
I was immediately hooked on the story. Bypassing anything that would resemble ordinary, Dennis proposed to Emily at one of Garrett County's most famous rural dive bars. She opened her styrofoam to-go container and inside, right next to the ribs and cornbread, was an engagement ring.
The lake life has been a part of their lives for as long as they have been together, and we aimed to capture and follow their story wherever it took us.

An interesting thing happens when your play becomes your work and vice-versa. The creative cycle can turn into a "creative routine", which translates to redundancy, which translates into monotony, which translates into unhappiness, inspiration block, etc. The solution? PLAY!!! Get those endorphins firing and break the mold a bit. Challenge yourself. A healthy injection of randomness is great for breaking any routine.
If you know me, you know I love to play outside. Growing up in Deep Creek Lake provided me with a wealth of outdoor experiences and exposure and I love sharing those experiences with others.
On this day, videographers Garrity (whom I highly recommend for wedding videography) & Riley, + me, pried ourselves from the comfort of our beds at 5AM to join friends/hosts Justin Liller, Ashley Liller, & Adam Fadley (Hard As Oak Strength & Conditioning) for a little "Sunrise Session" of wakesurfing, wakeboarding, photo & video. There's something supremely satisfying about bringing everyone's talents together, and just seeing what comes of it.
If you want to buy one of these bad boys, you can do so by talking to Chad @ Xtreme Power Sports in Accident, MD.
I need to blog more. I'll catch up. I promise.
3 shoots in 3 days, 500 miles travelled, good friends, good company, and a hell of a good time. This is my life (for the moment at least).

Spent a warm summer afternoon with Crystal & David bouncing around Philadelphia. They're young, professional, buying a new house, getting married, and standing tall in Philly. Crystal is bright and cheery while David is mellow and unassuming. They make each either grin and giggle. They laugh at each other, and at themselves, and I can't wait to shoot their Wedding Day at the Arts Ballroom. Here's a glimpse of our afternoon together.
