TWIN REFLEX (VINEGAR HILL CREATIVE, PENNSYLVANIA)

Sunday, January 22, 2012

This week I've been shooting away on the set of Twin Reflex, a film by the wonderful storytellers at Vinegar Hill. I've talked about them lots of times on my blog. (Like the time I tagged along on their NYC shoot in 2010) My brother Michael is the Director of Photography at the company and I'm sort of connected to everybody in the business some way or another. I've photographed 3 of the 5 member's weddings!

Anyways, this week has been amazing. I've always wanted to take on longer photo assignments than 6 or 7 hour weddings and this has definitely been that! It's pretty darn cold here in Pennsylvania. It's been snowing for the past two days and right now it's about 10 degrees Fahrenheit outside. But it's the best watching my brother in his element. And the entire cast and crew are excellent. I love seeing artists flourish in their field. It's not easy for anyone to find a job these days but I feel like it's especially hard for an artist to make a living doing their art. So, needless to say this week has been exciting and encouraging.

A lot of the script is top secret but the writer/director David Altrogge said I could post a few to my blog! So, do enjoy and make sure you watch the Twin Reflex trailer below.

This man's name is Bingo O'Malley and he recently appeared in the movie Super 8! I sorta geeked out because I love that movie to death. It was a pleasure having him on set.








MRS. AND MRS. ECKENRODE (WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA)

Tuesday, January 10, 2012

This wedding took place where many of my weddings do these days - Western Pennsylvania! If you are a dedicated follower of my blog you will see many familiar faces in this post.

I loved this wedding so much. I started photographing in Ligonier at an adorable B&B named The Campbell House. It was nice to be back in Ligonier after photographing the Hood wedding earlier that year. That town always reminds me so much of Gilmore Girls. The ceremony and reception took place in Laurel Summit State Park.













Randi is a complete sweetheart. If you don't want to be friends with her after looking at these next three photos then you're crazy.




The girls dresses were made by a local seamstress named Gail Riley. If you want her contact info hit me up!











The wedding ceremony was minutes from commencing when it started POURING. A full out flood kind of rain storm.








But did that stop smiley Randi and warm hearted Chris from getting married? Pshh no way. Take a look at this face. It melts my heart.






















My brother Mike and his beautiful wife Jocelyn played a big behind the scenes part at the wedding. It was the best having them there. :) You can look at photos from their wedding in May here!




And here are wonderful Ian and Larissa from undoubtedly the most popular wedding I've ever photographed! Check out their incredible story here and amazing wedding here.
