Please Touch…. GTKY – Elana & Spencer– Philadelphia, PA

captureme — Fri, 18 May 2012 17:02:12 +0000

Elana and Spencer had a great idea for a GTKY location that was significant to them – at the Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia. We busted through a barrage of security in order to get some shots inside the musuem. We had also not realized that it was a school holiday – so the place was swarming with kids! We had to be extra creative to capture photographs inside, but it was well worth it. The lighting was beautiful outside, so we ventured out back to get some awesome infrared shots with the blossoming trees and museum steps. We can’t wait to see them again for their wedding at the Crystal Tea Room in the end of June!

Go Scarlet Knights! GTKY – Brandi & Matt – Rutgers – New Brunswick, NJ

captureme — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 18:33:32 +0000

Brandi & Matt are great to work with. They wanted to have their GTKY session up at Rutgers New Brunswick. As alumni it was special for them to go back to the campus together. She did not call ahead so that we could photograph in the stadium. We had to pull some covert operations to get in, and within 2 minutes we had to speak to one of the service guards on a pimped out golf cart. We had explained that we did not bring any paperwork. Which was not a lie because we never had any… Either way we had an fun session and I can’t wait to spend more time with Brandi and Matt at their wedding this August at One Atlantic in Atlantic City, NJ.

We had to do some random serious poses by the Super Pretzel stand….

Abandoned Trains and Horse Carriages – GTKY – Jamie & Tim – Lambertville, NJ

captureme — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 15:55:27 +0000

Jamie is an uber stylish hair and makeup artist and Tim is a super nice local police officer. As a couple they are amazing together. I couldn’t be happier working with them. We scheduled their GTKY session last fall and decided to have the session take place in the Lambertville area. This is a super vintage and grungy area to create in and I love it there in the fall. They brought their cute pup Tucker with them for the session. People that know me, understand my huge love for dogs. They are like your first child if you do not have any children yet. We had a great time together and can’t wait for their wedding this fall at The Stone Terrace.

Old School Bikes overlooking Philly – GTKY – Alicia & Lee – Palmyra, NJ

captureme — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:41:35 +0000

Alicia and Lee are an extremely happy couple. We pretty much just laughed and cracked jokes the entire time. They both have great personalites. Alicia & Lee spent quite a bit of time trying to find some vintage bikes for their GTKY and they found an incredible set. Shooting with Medium format color film gave the session a beautiful vintage and textured look I was looking to capture. We had a great session and I can’t wait to hang with them both on their wedding day this June! They will be tying the knot at the Riverton Country Club.

It was easier than I thought to get them to walk through all the mud to where I wanted them. That is why they are awesome!

Favorite GTKY photographs of 2011

captureme — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 21:22:51 +0000

I wanted to share some of my favorite Getting to Know You sessions of 2011. We had an array of different locations and styles. We had two destination sessions this year; one in Jamaica, and one in the Bahamas. One bride grew up riding horses, so we went to a farm in Central Jersey where she rides. Another bride loves the movie Casablanca. For her session we got clearance to shoot at an airport hanger and photographed in black and white high-speed film. She and her fiancee wore Casablanca influenced vintage clothing which was awesome. We even went to a scrap metal yard for one session and it was incredible. Thank you to all of my couples that we did GTKY sessions for in 2011. I can not wait to push the creative limits in 2012.

On the farm again – GTKY – Kim & Josh – Tabernacle, NJ

captureme — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 15:40:29 +0000

Kim and Josh are a super fun outgoing couple. They both live in South Carolina so we scheduled one day when they were flying back up for the holidays. We planned on doing there session on a local farm to bring out that southern charm. I did a mix of color and black and white film for their session. I photographed Kim’s sister’s wedding this past summer. We will be posting her sister’s wedding on the blog soon. Looking forward to their wedding this June!

Beach + Corvette + Dog + Boardwalk – GTKY – Amanda & Dave – Wildwood, NJ

captureme — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 15:32:19 +0000

We had a fun, action packed GTKY session with Amanda and Dave. Amanda’s folks have a house down in Wildwood NJ , so we made that our home base for their sessionIt rained the entire morning and afternoon right up until we were set to start. . The sun came while we were driving down to Wildwood. They had borrowed a new silver Corvette from a family member to use for the shoot and it was fun hanging off the back of it while shooting! The beach was gorgeous and Dave also brought his guitar because he plays really damn good! The shoot ended with a nighttime stroll on the boardwalk and some Mack and Manco’s pizza. I am looking forward to seeing Amanda and Dave at their wedding in March of 2012 at The Ballroom at the Ben in Philadelphia, PA.

This is how you get an action photograph from a moving car. I would call this my Lethal Weapon movie shooting style..

Get your Jersey Shore on… GTKY – Jennifer & Neil – Atlantic City, NJ

captureme — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 18:13:44 +0000

Jennifer and Neil decided to meet me after hearing from a former couple of mine Melanie & Rich. Neil is a firefighter and Jennifer is a 1st grade teacher. She’s super fun crazy and cool. We did their session down in Atlantic City right by Caesars and the One Atlantic venue on the boardwarlk. It was a cloudy windy day, but that didn’t’s stop us from having an awesome session. Jen and Neil are down to earth and really fun to be around. She brought a hat with her and I had to put it on Neil. He looked like the Stetson cologne ad man with it. I am looking forward to hanging with them again next July at their wedding in Philadelphia at The Cescaphe.

Ya Mon – GTKY – Laurie & Jason – Grand Palladium Resort – Jamaica

captureme — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 17:10:18 +0000

I met Laurie a few years back at Jackie & Johnny’s wedding at Forsgate Country Club. She was super cool and we even did a GTKY session with Jason her in the States last year. Laurie & Jason decided to have their wedding in Jamaica this past summer. I was pretty excited that they asked me to be there photographer as I have never been to Jamaica. Jamaica is absolutely beautiful! We had an amazing week together! It was summer there and it rained everyday making it tough to plan additional shoots. We did their GTKY session at Sunset Cove. They were not lying about the name of the cove as you will see in the photographs. I will be posting their full wedding next week.
