On August 18, we had the opportunity to photograph the beautiful wedding of Matt and Sarah in the town of Franklin, Pennsylvania. While there, I fell in love with the look of town and long to go back someday! We were blessed with absolutely perfect weather: blue skies, fair weather clouds, and 72 degrees!
Here is another teaser from their big day! More to come!
I’m subscribed to a youtube channel called The Art of Photography, and last week the host, Ted Forbes, did an episode on the “minimalist darkroom”. In the episode, Ted illustrated just how uncomplicated it can be to develop your own black and white film. You need the following: film, tank, developer, fixer(special fixer called TF4 eliminates stopper), distilled water, various used bottles, thermometer, a timer, scissors, can opener, and clothespins. I went ahead and ordered some supplies. Yesterday was a red letter day. My shipment of Rodinal black and white film developer came a day early, so I got down to business.
we’ve just added competitive travel rates for destination weddings.
aneila and i have reached our first anniversary. self timers are the eighth wonder of the world.
I think at this point, we might be able to call ourselves Staunton wedding photographers. This was our fifth wedding in the Staunton area! On July 28, we had the opportunity to photograph
Last Sunday, Aneila and I had dinner with my parents. My sister, Micah, is finished with school for the summer, so she was there too. She asked me to take a photo of her, so I figured why not practice? Being unable to dictate the schedule for wedding days leaves the lighting situation at the mercy of the bride and groom. It’s critical to be able to work with all types of light. The high noon sun is one of the most difficult for me.
What I have found is that shade can really make a difference. Making sure not to venture too far into the forest (otherwise skin starts to turn green or more pale), I place the subject under a tree full of leaves. The result is a very diffused, even type of lighting for the skin, and some awesome bokeh in the background slipping through the leaves!
