We here at Darkershadesofbrown Photography have been talking about this for a few weeks on twitter and facebook and have created a bit of a stir so today I wanted to let everyone know that that we are officially launching our iPad Wedding albums. Ever since I had my eyes on this amazing device I have been thinking of ways to get them into my customers’ hands. So much is changing in how we display our images to our friends and family over the last few years and I can’t tell you how many requests I have received about how to best have images available for things like facebook and personal wedding blogs that people have created for their wedding.

After much thought I think we finally came up with an answer…

The Apple iPad will give you the freedom to personally show your friends all those wedding images you find in your wedding gallery….

Have you ever wanted to:

Create your own slide-shows and load your own music from your itunes account?

Get your images on Facebook?

Show your friends your images without having to bring them over to your house and open up your album?

Something tells me you have and now you can and with the purchase of this album option we will give you a one hour tour with your new device and show you the best way to do all of those things

Does this mean we are getting rid of our albums? Not at all, but we want to give you that additional option and provide a solution to that question you have asked us about displaying images digitally.

For more information about how you can get this option added to your wedding package as well as a demo of how it all works you can give us a call or email us at Dlanton@Darkershadesofbrown.com

Sometimes I wish I had more time to spend putting up some of the more amazing wedding vendors I have worked with this past year. Some of the stuff going on in the industry right now is just pretty much a plate full of awesome. A few weeks ago I emailed
Caroline Colóm Vásquez of Paloma’s Nest and asked if I could throw some blog love her way. From a photographers perspective or at least this photographers perspective weddings are all about the little details. The more eye candy I have to get my camera lost in the better. Last year Kristy Rice from Momental Designs introduced me to her work when we all collaborated on a tablescape session and I have fallen in love with Carolin’s work ever since.

Be sure to check out her shop here and her amazing blog here.

Brides…. Get on over and check out her work. I would love to see some of these deigns in some photographs this year.

Alissa & Jeff were married last week at the Montdale Country Club in Jermyn PA and both of them brought some serious energy with them just about all day. I felt like I was running a marathon chasing these two around the Scranton area as their day unfolded. Both of them has such a great spirit about them and kept me laughing all day at how crazy fun they made their wedding day. I really enjoyed being a part of their day from start to finish.

Bridal Guitar Hero rocked my sox off.

LOVE!

To the cleaners FTW! I love this picture.

May the festivities begin.

DJ in the photobooth

WIN!

Hope you guys are rockin the honeymoon.

Bernadette and Jonathan were married this past weekend… Not much to say about this wedding. These two love each other and It was a joy to spend the day with them.

Tears and laughter all day long.

Jonathon pulled me aside before the wedding and asked me to photograph the architecture in the church.

I just smiled!

Loved seeing these colors everywhere.

I love it when people creatively use their engagement pictures at their wedding.

Can’t wait for their Trash The Dress Session.

Peace & Love,

~Daniel~

This wedding…. What can I say. It was probably the most enjoyable wedding I have had this year. Everything was so well planned and Amy paid attention to every detail in regards to the styling of her venue. I just love how much there was for my eyes to feast upon.

The wedding was located at the lands at Hillside Farms in Shaverton PA. This location is probably one of my favorite venues in all of NEPA. I shot a tablescape here last year that will be appearing in Bride & Bloom next month so be sure to head out to your local news stand and check it out.  Weddings are new to this venue but I fell in love with this place long before I arrived that morning.

I have to say that I felt like more of a guest then anything else this past Saturday. I felt as if I was watching friends get married and I just happened to have a camera in my hand to document the day. Amy and Randy were a joy to work with from beginning to end and here is a quick sneak peak into what their wedding day looked like.

Enjoy Jamaica my friends…

One of the things I love doing is collaborating with other vendors from time to time and today Dorian and I from Central Park Flowers put together a tabletop for some print advertising that he has been working on for the Scranton market. When it comes to vendors you guys know I am very stingy when it comes to recommendations. If you’re looking for floral and or table arrangements for your wedding…

Don’t even bother with anyone else

Just get in touch with Dorian.

He constantly blows my mind with his designs.

One of the most common questions I get from a potential client deals with the hours I work on their wedding day. I think people are automatically trained to think that photographers only work 5 hour days. It’s really a shame that this has become typical of wedding photographers as many of the best moments from a wedding are captured early in the morning while everyone is getting ready.

I made it a practice early on in my career that I would put in 12 hours at every wedding. I don’t sell packages of blocks of time. How a photographer can claim to have a photojournalistic approach to weddings while they force you to do everything in five hours just doesn’t make any sense to me.

This wedding was unique for me as the bride let me know that she had three sets of grandparents at her wedding that she wanted me to spend some time photographing.

As with all weddings I started out the day early and then something beautiful happened.

I met this woman…..

I spent the better part of five minutes just staring at her with my lens from far away.

The way she steamed one of the dresses for the wedding just about made me cry.

These hands…..

Beautiful…..

My favorite ring shot of the day.

I did not have the privilege of my grandmother being able to attend my wedding.

This wedding made me long for mine.
