I first met Chris, Julie & Hallie last year when they started planning their wedding and when we sat down and talked I realized that they really wanted Hallie included in their E session as she is an important part of their relationship. Chris used to work with my wife and when she mentioned to him that I was a photographer they headed on over to my website and noticed that I had posted a family session that included a young girl the age of Julie’s daughter.  By the time I sat down with them they had already decided that they wanted a family/E session feel to these pictures.

Normally I spend the majority of my time just working with two people on an E session and we still did spend time with just Chris & Julie but I just couldn’t resist focusing on them as a family unit as that is what they are soon to become.

Alyssa and Matt invited me up to their home for the engagement pictures this week outside of Oneonta Ny. I grew up in Oneonta so I had been looking forward to traveling back home to see the city I haven’t been to in about 6 years. When I say I fell in love with this couple It’s a bit of an understatement. Alyssa is an artist so these first few pictures were taken about five seconds after I walked into their home. I wish I could say it was a surprise to have so much fun photographing this couple but I knew I was going to enjoy it after our first meeting about a year ago.

This session was all about them. They wanted an old school “polaroidish” feel to their pictures. It was a blast seeing these images through to what they are today.

Gotta show this picture big because I want to love on it.

Lindsay & Ethan invited me down to their home on the Delaware border this week and I thought I would just share a few images from their session today because I absolutely love the piece of property they asked me to visit.. I usually get a bit nervous about people inviting me to their home for pictures as I don’t know what I will be walking into in regards to interesting backdrops to shoot against for pictures.

As you can see from these pictures there was just so much for me to look at….

I got a little jealous of their backyard.

Looking forward to your wedding in October

Christine & Tim had me come over to Boston yesterday for their E Session. I had been looking forward to going to Boston ever since they mentioned they wanted their pictures taken there. Of all the places I travel I have never stopped in and taken a tour of the city so when Christine told me she wanted to take me sailing in Boston Harbor I had a hard time containing my excitement.

As you can see….

They brought the “awesome” with them….

LOVE these next couple of shots!

As the day was ending we had a bit of a rough time trying to get back into port.

Tim was giving us the “it’s ok we won’t die today sign”

I wasn’t convinced.

Thanks so much for giving us such an awesome day.

You guys make “my rad persons” of the week list.

Last year when Tara asked me to shoot her wedding I knew I was going to love the whole process behind getting to know them and figuring out how to photograph their personalities. I believe if I have the story correct when I say they met in Australia about five years ago and after getting to know them now I totally understand why they want to get hitched. They really are perfect for each other. Kris has a very gentle  way about him and Tara is genuinely one of the sweetest most gracious people I have had the opportunity to work with this year.

When I woke up on Tuesday I was a little sad that it decided to rain all day and when I say rain I mean a torrential downpour. I was sitting in the coffee shop catching up on some Hulu goodness when Tara walked in and proclaimed she had boots. Immediately the weight lifted off my shoulders and I thought to myself thank God these people are cool.

When you have lemons…. Make yourself some lemonade.

Big shout out to my people over at Serendipity Day Salon in Dickson City who once again did a fantastic job with Tara’s makeup although the rain destroyed most of it by the end of the session.

Holla back to the good people at Canon who make their 1D series cameras waterproof.

Love these boots and this dress…..

Looking forward to your wedding.

This past week Ben popped the question… Fresh off the pop the question trail we have pictures to prove it. I could still see the I’m getting married glow in Ashton’s eyes.

LOVE their energy….

Big congratulations to you both,

Luke & Brittney are the owners of Open Vision Photography here in Scranton and last month we connected on facebook and started to form a friendship.

That’s right people….We actually became real life friends and not just FB friends.

We have so much in common it’s a bit ridiculous and have found out it only begins with our passion for photography.

Peace & Grace to you both,

~Daniel~

Devon & Danielle both attend the church that I go to in Scranton called Steamtown and Devon is one of the banjo and guitar players on our worship team.  I have been looking forward to this session all week as I knew these cats would let down their guard and allow for some fun pictures..

They really brought their A GAME. The two of them have enough energy to well….. You just need to take a look see at their session.

Devon illustrates childrens books and had a book published earlier this year called “The almost true story of General Sherman…. and how he finally looked up”

Being the “tree hugger” I am I have to post some samples of some of his more recent work for you to get lost in.  Devon also does many commission pieces and you can get in contact with him at this email address.

Dear Friends,

Many of you know that we are not available to shoot every wedding that we are requested for. Being in two places at one time is not a skill we have been able to figure out. This doesn’t have to mean that we won’t have the opportunity to work with each other. The images that you receive from our engagement sessions will blow your mind and free you from those evil robot controlled photographs you see of two people square to the camera under a tree in your local state park. We travel all over the country now shooting engagement photos and it is honestly one of my favorite parts of being a photographer. For the next month we are going to be giving a $50 discount to all people who have emailed us about shooting their wedding and not been able to book us due to our schedule. We want to give you images that will withstand the test of time and even though we can’t be there for your wedding we still think we can give you images that will hang on the walls of your home for years.

So here is how it works…..

Once your date is booked and a deposit is received for your session we will apply the discount from the remainder that is due at the time of your session.

It’s that simple!
