Second

On Saturday, I was working second camera for my long time second - Eric Gray of Fine Art Portraiture by Eric Gray.  He has been my second for a long time now and I'm glad he asked me to give him a hand on one of his weddings.  As a second, you would think the pressure is off, but you have to produce the images that the first camera can't always get.  I started with the guys while Eric was with the Bride.  I even got to use my infra-red camera since the ceremony was in the park.  I can't wait for the next one he has scheduled with me, anytime I can return the favor.

Melissa and Jason

Here are a few of the many photos I took when Melissa, Jason and I met for their engagement session. We had a blast and they kept up with me for two and a half hours walking around Longwood Gardens. This is going to be one fun wedding in July.

This is my favorite.

We took some time to smell the flowers...

and laugh.

Sean's First Holy Communion

Sean made his First Holy Communion last Saturday. Here are a few of what I shot.

On this Day...

Twenty years ago I proposed to Evelyn. Funny how you remember these things. It was the first thing I thought of when I woke up this morning. We drove up to the arch in VF Park to meet some friends, so she thought. As we were sitting there on the side of the arch. I gave her a kiss and slipped the ring on her finger. She has given me more then I could ever ask for and then some. She is the world to me.  

We went to breakfast yesterday and then to the Elmwood Park Zoo. On the way home stopped into see my Mom. They just celebrated their 43rd wedding anniversary in April.

From Friday

Stacey and Paul

Stacey and Paul are a very brave couple. We decided to go to Ocean City, NJ for their engagement session. So Sunday morning I leave my house and it is warm and partly cloudy. By the time I reached the boardwalk, it was windy, dreary and cold. We decided to push on. Stacey was freezing and Paul did his best to keep her warm. She doesn't look cold does she? We walked the boards and then hit the beach.
