two thousand & eleven

2011. what a year. in may we bought a house, and i quit my job to go full-time with photography. shot medium format for the first time, went to italy (twice—thanks scott), france, and newfoundland. i never would have guessed even 5 years ago that i would be doing this. thank you so much to my incredible wife kate for supporting me and being a total babe.

to clients for trusting me and my vision, and allowing me to do this—you guys give me the best job ever. thank you.

to the photographers i’ve looked up to, been super annoying and asked way too many questions, advice, and direction—thank you.

oh, and leon says merry christmas.

ryan & cynthia

i know i’ve already said this, but i really like these two. felt like i was hanging out with friends all day. as wedding photographers, that’s what we hope for. ryan and cynthia were married at princeton theological seminary in new jersey, and their reception was at albemarle boys school. the wedding was relaxed, beautiful, and elegant. there was never any pressure to finish one thing and go to the next. ryan’s best man’s speech was the best i’ve ever heard, and they had incredible readings from friends and family during the ceremony. ryan even played drums at the reception. alright, i’m gonna stop rambling now so you can see for yourself. i was lucky to have matt from tin sparrow studio shoot with me, so a big thanks to him for being awesome. enjoy.

ryan & cynthia | day before session

these two are great, plain and simple. ryan saw some photos from my own wedding on a friend’s blog, found my website from there, and contacted me more than a year ago. after our first conversation, talking about their wedding details, and learning that they were about to go on a world backpacking trip, i couldn’t wait to work with them. when i got to new jersey, i finally met them both in person for a casual shoot the day before the wedding. i loved seeing them together, and talking in-depth about their trips and their lives. i didn’t want to leave after the wedding. here are the photos from our day-before session, and keep an eye out for their wedding later this week. enjoy.
