As most of you know – my sister, Ashley, is getting married next year! She found herself a keeper 🙂 Ashley and Nate met in college at Slippery Rock University. Nate is a ranger for the PA State Parks system. They both love hiking, being outside, and shooting archery together. We visited Yellow Creek State Park near Indiana, PA for some photos around the lake. Clearly, I am hilarious. Or maybe it was all the talk about sharks. At the end of the night, we remembered we still had their bows in the car. Luckily, mother nature gave us a beautiful sunset and an opportunity for a cool shot. I stood almost waist deep in the lake to get this one, and it was totally worth it!
I know I’ve said this a hundred times, but I love my job. When people ask me what it’s like to be a photographer, I always say the same thing. “It’s never boring.” In the past ten years we’ve shot all across the country in every kind of environment and weather imaginable. Time constraints, obstacles, crisis – photographers have to learn to eat that stuff for breakfast, because Murphy’s law of photography – you’re going to throw the plan out the window. Anything that can fall apart, be late, or go wrong – will do just that – and it’s our job to capture the day no matter what. You have to keep your energy up, keep smiling, be resourceful and get the job done. If Martha Stewart and MacGyver had a love child – that’s a wedding photographer. In the field, you’re only as good as your team. Photo…
