Winter Light

There are still several weddings from the summer I want to post here but, right now, I want to post this.

Winter is a wonderful time to shoot. In the middle of the afternoon the light starts getting nice. Two weeks ago Lynn & Josh were married and inside Hotel Bethlehem we found this nice little spot. A shaft of afternoon sun filled a dining room just off their cocktail reception.

We played in the light for a while and I'm just toning them now. I think they're super awesome.

Just like Lynn and Josh. I hope you two are still off having fun in a place much warmer than here.

Best,

Right Now

Apologies to friends who have already seen this image.

I've posted it on Facebook & shown it to anyone I can get to look at it.

But I wanted to share here as well.

I shot this image last week at Lehigh University's bonfire rally for Saturday's football game against Lafayette.

Lehigh is one of my biggest non-wedding clients. I love shooting there because of images like this.

Michelle + David 09.25.09

I am not the best blogger.

Current weddings, albums & other photography projects are always on the front burner. And I get hopelessly behind in updating the blog.

Not today. Please meet David & Michelle who married in Ocean City, New Jersey.

They married at a church in town & held their reception at The Flander's Hotel, a vintage & beautiful hotel right on the boardwalk. David and Michelle got ready there, too, and it was fun working on the boardwalk.

Mustafah Abdulaziz helped out as a second & he shot his normal awesomeness. Thanks, man.

We had a great time.

And the pictures were pretty great, too.

My new friend Anna

I met Anna at her cousin's wedding last summer in New York.

She contacted me this summer to talk about portraiture and last week we got together. We met in Chelsea because she loves the cobblestone streets & then worked a bit in Central Park.

Anna was wonderful and there are several images I love. Here are a couple of them.

Best,
Douglas

Autumn

Autumn exploded in my part of Pennsylvania. It seemed like an instant.

It's super beautiful & moved me to post this.

These are my new friends Megan & Jason who will be getting married in July next year.

Best,
Douglas

I just finished up & delivered Michelle's wedding pictures this morning. Can't wait for her to see this one.

I shot this Friday at David & Michelle's wedding in Ocean City, New Jersey.

I'm posting it here just because I like it.

Pictures of David & Michelle themselves coming soon!

Thanks for indulging me.
