Ocean City Wedding Spots Getting married in Ocean City and you are not sure where you'd like to get have the wedding location or reception? Allow me to inform you of the places that make for some great Ocean City Wedding Photography spots and give you my thoughts about them. Please keep in mind that these Ocean City venues are looked at from a photographer's point of view and what I've experienced there working.
Seacrets - a great place to check out, you can't go wrong with Jamaica USA in Ocean City. Often times couples book their dance club area which can fit a lot of people. What I liked most was the staff was off the hook friendly, and being there as a wedding photographer, they let me go everywhere I wanted to go to get the good shot. This place offers some great sunset shots, out by the palm trees and on their pier, plenty of little hidden areas that will make for some interesting photos. They have their own catering and chatting with one couple they said it was at a really good price. Keep in mind in the summer this place is a mad house but in the off season its cozy and relaxing.
Fager's Island - Pretty close to Seacrets which offers a nice reception area, hotel close by, great food and the staff was really nice. There are so many cool places in Fagers to get great photos; you often getting lost and you can take a couple to like 10 - 15 different spots and make 50 -75 images unique. Plenty of palm trees, a gazebo on the water, the upper deck reception area is a little tighter but for smaller weddings this is a really good place.
Lighthouse Sound - this little gem is hidden away right outside of Ocean City, a little ways over the first Hwy 90 bridge in into Bishopville. It's located right on a golf course which is a good thing because you have beautiful landscapes to get great photos on and one thing to consider is adding some time with the photographer as you might like to take a golf cart to some of these very pretty photo spots. You'll end up having Ocean City on the bay as you backdrop which makes for an awesome photo. The staff is great, food it good too, I like the huge fireplace they have indoors, and the overall area is able to accommodate a lot of guests. If you get a chance to get you and your guests together for a group photo, you have a couple of hills to get height on the crowd.
Golden Sands - this hotel and condominium is located around the north end of Ocean City right on the beach. You can get married right on their little patch of sand or you can get closer to the water and have your ceremony there. Depending on the time of day and weather conditions I might lean towards closer to the beach, were you'll have more sun, the building itself is cuts out a lot of sun for sunset ceremonies. They have a really lovely reception area up on their top floor; hope you aren't afraid of heights. Nice dance floor, easy to accommodate a lot of guests, and even though you are up so high take advantage of the rear of the building on the 22nd floor for some quick photos of the sun setting.
The Clarion - another hotel not too far away from the Golden Sands, and every bit just a good. What I found unique about this place, if you foresee bad weather, this place has several giant rooms for having the ceremony and reception. The whole inside offers a lot of great spots to take some fun and unique photos and chances are you will have sun for your wedding, you have the beach right there. keep in mind the building will shadow you and your guests quite a bit, so by getting closer to the water, you'll enjoy some better photo opportunities. They have an onsite coordinator here, Lisa I believe who is super nice and will bend over backwards to help you.
Ocean Pines Beach Club - Located on the Ocean side of Coastal Hwy and not be confused with the Ocean Pines Yacht Club and Ocean Pines Country Club. If you aren't careful you'll find family and friends heading to the yacht club or country club and might miss out. Here is another place that has their own patch of sand close to the main building structure and if you are planning a sunset wedding you might find a very distinct shadow going on here which depending on your timing you might deal with as they have a nice huge deck to place chairs on for your guests to sit on. They have a nice little second floor section where all the brides end up getting ready at. The poor guys end up hanging out in the basement area, down under the deck. Part of the deck wraps around and makes for some lovely sitting and eating outside. Plenty of spots for a DJ or Band to set up and while the guests are relaxing you can roll out on the beach for those beautiful sunset photos.
The Beaches - Ocean City beaches are some great beaches to get married on. Unlike the Delaware beaches right up the road they don't require permits to be on the beach or get married on the beach. Getting married in Delaware isn't as easy as in Maryland where you can walk right out there on the beach with the wedding minister and say your vows and walk right back off. All the beach ceremony's I've photographed, it happens 100 percent of the time, were you have very friendly and accommodating people that step aside for you to get married and often times they cheer, clap, and whistle when you get to "you may now kiss the bride". To get the better photographs I'd recommend scheduling your ceremony around Sunset whenever possible and the next best time would be around sunrise. Those high noon weddings always end up with dark shadows under the eyes and lots of other unpleasant features. And if you can decorate the beach a little with an archway, flowers, tiki torches, or something. A naked beach is ok, but it really reflects well and looks like wedding photos when you have things to enhance the photo. For brides I'd stay away from heels in the sand, it's a no brainer but every year someone does it and it's difficult on the bride to walk in. Also a runner would be pointless, as it will get ripped to shreds.
There are many other wonderful places that I have not mentioned here that I could turn this article into a full blown book, but I wanted to name a few of my favorites. Some other ideas for wedding locations in and around Ocean City, Maryland that I've photographed and liked: Assateague Island State Park

Catched 54 (used to be known as Sharks Cove)
Ocean Pines Yacht Club - Ocean Pines
Ocean Pines Country Club - Ocean Pines
Ocean City Inlet on the Beach
Harrisons Harbour Watch - Inlet area

Macky's - Bayside
Princess Bayside - Bayside
Princess Royale - Ocean side
Carousel Hotel - Ocean side
Have a Happy Wedding Day!

Doing business right
My wife’s friend brought her computer to me to get fixed, it’s among one of the things I like to do along with photography and web design. While I was in the Air Force I picked up this talent and once I got out I did freelance computer repair. Well my wife’s friend told me she took her computer to a computer repair store a year ago and at $100 an hour, she asked them to check it out in an hour, not to go over the $100 mark and to let her know how much to fix it. They called her and said your computer is fixed and ready to be picked up, and your bill is $800. Well that is just wrong, after some conversations with the owner/manager they knocked it down to $132. She said fine and she’ll come by and pick it up. The one technician offered to bring it to her on his lunch break. He arrived and she handed him a check for $132 and he said it was going to be an additional $95 for delivery. You can imagine how upset she was.
My point of the whole story is, that is wrong. You shouldn’t do business like that. It’s not how I do business and it goes against everything I believe in. My belief is to treat others as you would like to be treated, to be fair and honest with each other. And that’s how I do business with my photography clients, I’m not going to force a sale on you, or talk you into something you don’t want or need. I’m here to provide a service that you want, and I like to provide that service to you the way you want.
On a side note, my wife’s friend is also the mother of the little boy I photographed a year ago. It was a treat to see him again.

A Peyton and Zach Wedding
The Zach attack!
The Peyton Experiment!
Both can be said here as affectionate ways of describing the two. My buddy Justin who is a DJ referred this couple to me for photography and about 2 – 3 weeks before the wedding I hadn’t a clue what I was getting into. Usually I’d have a couple of phone calls with a client before the wedding discussing different aspects of their wedding or I’d have a chance to do an Engagement portrait session if they lived locally. In Peyton and Zach case, Justin gave them my number and I met them about a one week later at a bridal show in Ocean City.
What made this couple unique and what made this wedding special for me was I really had to relying on my ability to think on my feet. I knew the church they were going to be getting married in as I had photographed a wedding there the year before. And their reception was at a house down around Assateague State Park. Anyway, the couple was very flexible with getting photos; I was able to pull them away from the reception twice to get some stunning photos. Zach and Peyton were also pretty creative with what photos they themselves wanted. The combination of creative ideas made for a fabulous time photographing.

Holiday Photo Time - Parties and Pets
It’s time for all the holiday parties to happen! We recently had our Squadron Holiday party at Dover Air Force base which was a great time. I was there in a photographer capacity but enjoyed hanging out with friends and sampled some of the food there. Every one there really liked the fact that I could take their photo and print it right on the spot. There was also a second holiday party going on that took advantage of photos I was printing there. It was so much fun that they had a 70s theme going on, which made for some interesting photos.
Because so many folks had a good time with me, I ended up booking up two more parties for December and a portrait shoot in our studio. It’s pleasant to know my Mitsubishi Printers are finally paying off. I’m hoping for next year to not only be booked up for Christmas parties but also for Halloween.
I also got called again to photograph Pets with Santa at the Gold Coast Mall, in Ocean City and once again I was happy to do it. I enlisted the help of my father to play Santa and my good friend Sue LeMar to help set everything up. This year with Pets with Santa, we had LeMar Custom Framing design custom mats for the customers for their 5x7 photos that went over really well. The mats had cute little paw prints and Season’s Greetings stamped on the mats.

Biker Cowboy photo shoot on a Sunday
My mother called me up the other day and wanted to get some photos of her friend so that he could give them to family and friends. In these current economical times it makes a great inexpensive gift, giving photos in frames and it comes across more sentimental. I was pleasantly surprised by the gentleman’s outfit and look he was wanting to go with, and that of a biker / cowboy. Kind of rare. His name was Jacob by the way, and he made for a good photo subject.
We started off with some warm up shots, playing around. And then we start to focus on some of the looks Jacob wanted and then played around with some creative ideas. After the shoot, which didn’t take long at all, he came here to the shoot with some specific looks in mind and we were able to hit them all on the mark and he was happy.
After that, I imaged they were just pleased to have regular 5 x 7s printed on the spot, but I whipped out some effects, like black and white, and filters that made it look like an old time photo. They weren’t in any big hurry, so they hung out and watched as I pull out some photoshop frames and effects that transformed the images into way more than they were expecting. They were happy. And I was happy to have an interesting subject to photo. It’s always rare to get men to want to be photographed and when you get a chance it’s fun to take some interesting shots.

Memorable Milestones Event Services
I was providing some videography services to a wedding Memorable Milestones Events was providing coverage for, and they were working great. I've seen alot of weddings where the bride and groom can seem uneasy, a little lost, or things go pretty wrong, but not when these ladies are taking care of things. I highly recommend a wedding planner for every wedding, it just makes things run so smoothly and takes the load and worry off the bride's shoulders.

Wedding Tips
1. It is best to have your flowers delivered to where you are getting dressed at least an hour before you are going to leave for the ceremony.This allows some extra time in case the florist is late and some time, as well, for the photographer to pose you with your flowers.
2. Before the wedding day, be sure to inform your family members including parents, grandparents and siblings that they need to remain at the ceremony site after the wedding to be included in formal group photographs.
3. When planning the schedule of your wedding day be sure to include adequate travel time from location to location, the expected length of time for a receiving line, 35-45 minutes for the photographer to pose the formal photographs and 15 additional minutes at an outdoor location with the bridal party.

Bubbles – to bubble it up at Weddings
I recently had a wedding on a Friday and Saturday and both utilized bubbles after their ceremony has concluded. And in both cases it was a bit of a hassle to get working right. I’ve been to about 10 other ceremonies where they had bubbles there and they never even used them. I think in a lot of cases couples dreamed of walking through the bubbles but either couldn’t coordinate it right or forgot about them entirely. So I’m hoping to pass along my experience with the hopes it will help. 
What typically happens after a ceremony, the Bride and Groom kiss, they are now husband and wife and start walking back down the aisle. Well the couple could just walk out the door and get into the car but it doesn’t work out like that. One main factor is you have to get the people outside first and ready for you. And the second problem is because most couples go the traditional route of not wanting to see each other before the ceremony; they usually end up doing the formal photos after the ceremony. So you can’t expect the people to wait outside for 30 minutes while the pictures are being taken.
One idea that would be super helpful is to get your formal photos taken before the ceremony. By doing this, it will help you tremendously because you will get the wonderful shots, without tying up all your time after the ceremony not to mention if the couple is nervous, and we all know they will be, this takes that nervous edge way. It’s like a mini glimpse of the future that can set the bride and groom at ease. You don’t have to rush, and you can definitely get all the shots you want, and more.
Another idea is to get your ushers or various family members to help spread the word of what is going to happen. Every wedding is a bit different, and so most guests won’t know what is going to happen. I personally, as the photographer would leave the bride and groom inside the ceremony location, go outside and rally up the guests. Being accustom to working with large number of people, I’d give a shout out letting the family and friends know the couple is about to exit and would like a bubble storm. And to get your bubble blowers ready, set, BLOW!
But if I’m not there as your photographer, I’d suggest appointing someone to orchestra that for you. It can make for some awesome fun photos that you’ll love.

Fabulous Time at Fagers Island
Weddings in Ocean City, gives you a regular buffet of reception locations and among some of my favorite places is Fager’s Island. Some of the highlights are the staff, all very accommodating, nice and easy to work with. With photography it offers a lot of locations for shooting, such as the lighthouse close by, you have 10 or so backdrops and spots that make for a cozy photo. The sunsets at Fagers is something to stop and take notice, every evening around sunset they play classical music as you gaze out on the bay. The gazebo and back deck are other fun places to take some photos. 
The couple, Terry and Todd, were such a nice couple to photograph and by the end of the evening, it felt like I was part of the family. I had quite a few conversations with a lot of their family and it was so real easy going and real easy to photograph. The couple needed a DJ, so I suggested my close friend Leo who’s been a professional DJ for 29 years and together we made it a fun night for all. You can imagine how fun it was when you had the bride calling me in to the ladie’s bathroom to photograph her and all her bride’s maids relaxing on the couch. That of course was brought on by the grandfather calling me into the men’s bathroom to get a photo of him with all his grandson’s there. nothing bad, but pretty weird. I like weird, it keeps it interesting.

Yoga Photo Shoot
Happy Thanksgiving!
I got called to do a photo shoot for a yoga company and found it to be a really cool shoot to do. The Yoga place is called, Sumatis Om Studio Yoga, in Berlin, Maryland. For those of you in the area and who are interested in Yoga check it out or give them a call, 410-641-4499. I’ve never done yoga before but after photographing them in action, I found them it to be very peaceful.
For this photo shoot we wanted to capture images of yoga for their website and brochures. My wife, Olga and I were there photographing this from several angles and with two ideas in mind, with her experience in yoga it proved to be a really good shoot.
One of the images we wanted to capture and convey was “couples yoga”. We had a couple come in and get dressed up in their wedding clothes, a suit and a dress and perform some poses. I found out later that the model I was working with who was recently married and is one of the main instructors there.
Suzanne is the owner of the studio and a real blast to chat with and she played the main role of director for setting up a lot of the shots we needed. I really liked her right away, and for those of you looking to take up yoga in that area, you in for a treat with a great group of people there.

High School Photography Class
I logged into my facebook the other day and my high school buddy found this photo of me. And its so weird because it was me and our photography class. Back then I never knew that I would be working in photography as my employment and making a living at it, but here I am. If you are curious about my facebook, take a peek at it, here is the link.
http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/profile.php?id=1430346594&ref=profile
Since I started using facebook I’ve found old friends, made some new friends, and I’m able to keep in touch with a lot of them easier. It’s pretty cool.
Looking at the photo, I think back to High School and where I am today and its pretty interesting how I ended up here. When I took that photography class I just didn’t think I’d have as much fun with it as I do now. Ms. Fagan my photography teacher was pretty informative teacher and really cool in my opinion. She would send us out on little photo shoots around the school for class projects, little did she know my friend MJ and I would find most of our shooting assignments over in McDonalds across the street from the school. Taking photos in there and bringing them back to class didn’t go over very well if you can imagine. Every since that class I’ve always owned a camera and whether I was in Cambridge, England shooting some of the beautiful buildings or in France photographing the touristy things, her teachings have followed me to this day. It wasn’t till I met my friend and Mentor Dave, a pro photographer in his own right that I feel in love with capturing the beauty of weddings and photographing all those special moments that take place on the special day. Thank you Ms. Fagan and Mr. Dave for all you taught me.

Seacrets Wedding - Going Jamacian
Giving a shout out to Holly and Walter – to you, your family, and your guests, I had a great time and thanks for having me as your photographer. Holly's dress was very Very Unique and Beautiful.
For those of you thinking about a wedding location in Ocean City, Seacrets is a pretty awesome place to say your “I Dos”. I chatted with the Holly and Walter about it briefly and they said it was a pretty good deal as far as venues go. The food was great, can’t go wrong with Jerk Chicken. There was so many fun spots to shoot there, I could have spent all day photographing there. it was so funny how every time I took the couple and bridal party around they were getting lost. Just like the Seacrets saying “find us and get lost” it was a true factor here. Back in the day when I was in high school I used to work at Seacrets as one of their line cooks, and they have grown so much since then.
The staff there was pretty awesome and accommodating everything that I could have needed. I wanted to take a photo from the high up balcony and they pointed me there and I was able to get the shot. The DJ was a Seacrets DJ, and he was so very helpful in letting the crowd know we were cutting the cake or doing a dance. And when it came time to take that photo of the whole group of people, DJ BK helped get everyone together. Cool Dude!
Anyone looking for a photographer for your up and coming wedding at Seacrets please give me a call, as I not only work as your photographer, but as a tour guide so you don’t get lost up in there. And if you aren’t getting married there, and never been, definitely go there and try the Jerk Chicken, it’s the best in town in my opinion.

Ocean City Bridal Show
This Sunday at the Golden Sands in Ocean City, Maryland, put on the second ever Bridal Show, and I think it was a pretty awesome turn out. The first Bridal Show at the Ocean Pines Yacht Club was interesting and a good show to get our feet wet. But with this show we got a pretty big turn out of future brides. There was a fashion show that was pretty impressive, with all kinds of dresses, all from cocktail and evening dresses to the fall / winter time wedding dresses. The dresses for the Fall Christmas season were by far my favorite and I'm looking forward to the Winter season and photographing wedding with the hopes of photographing a bride in one of those lovely dresses.
We got alot of good responses speaking with the brides, towards the end of the show it felt like i lost my voice, talking so much. And I'm all ready for our next show in Feb 2009, for those of you wanting to attend, its alot of fun! check it out.

Will in Action
My wife, Olga did videography on this wedding and she grab some fun shots of me in action. After some splicing and tweeking, I now have this lovely little 5 minute clip to share with you.
New Photography in Rehoboth Beach
Well I’m excited about a new photographer in town, which is rare to say as many a photographers don’t like competition. But this photographer is one that I can relate to and one I don’t have worry about as competition. I’m proud to present “Olga Photography” ! ! !
You’re probably thinking, “That’s Will’s wife’s name, Olga” and you are right. The new photographer is my wife Olga Vickers. Keep in mind that she’s not new, New, she’s been photographing for years and she wanted to do her own thing with the photography.
What she is planning on doing is weddings, portraits, children and pregnancy photography, as well we’d like to start doing Boudoir Portraits and trash the dress photos and it’s an idea that some brides and female clients would relate to her better in certain situations.

Free Wedding Coverage for Destination Wedding
Free Wedding Coverage including Photography and Videography
Here's the thing: We love shooting weddings. We also love to travel! Anytime, anywhere. And Destination weddings allow us to do both. You get a professional wedding photographer and a videographer for free and we get to travel. It’s a win win situation.
Every year we set aside Five weekends exclusively for this "free wedding photography" promotion. Aside from a few basic restrictions, there are no strings attached to this offer. Having said that, here are a few strings:
1) It should be scheduled between November and March.
We live in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. This November - March period could accurately be called our off-season. So sure, we'll shoot your wedding for free! As long as you meet requirement #2, which is:
2) It should be someplace WARM and not in Delaware or Maryland!
In Rehoboth Beach, between November and March, it's probably cold and windy outside. Let's get away to Florida or Cancun or Australia or something. Work with us here. Sunny and warm or maybe some place Unique. You probably want that too, right? We're willing to consider not-so-warm locations as long as they are, well, cool. Venice during Carnivale? Sure. NYC on New Years Eve? Okay. Paris in the springtime? Absolutely. And finally, requirement #3:
3) You cover the COST of travel and accommodations. We do the rest.
Airplane tickets, a hotel and some food. Any associated transportation, to-and-from. That's it! Well-rested, excited photographers will give you REALLY Awesome photographs. That's all you have to cover, and we don't mark it up with bogus "day rates" or first-class fares. Get us there, put us up at your hotel and we are ready to shoot. We'll probably need 4 or 5 nights accommodations, depending on the scope of the project. If we stay longer, it's at our expense.
Is it really that simple?
Yes it is. Look, with destination wedding they are always beautiful. But sometimes, frankly, it's a stretch for our clients to be able to fly two professional photographers to the Caribbean and to pay full price for the photography package. So this is a pretty good deal. And there are other benefits too:
• Destination weddings don't have the same time restrictions as our regular packages. In other words, we'll be at your disposal for the rehearsal AND all the way through the wedding. The day after the wedding, if you'd like to go out and get some "extra" portraits (on the beach...under a waterfall... on a jet ski...top of the Eiffel Tower) without having to worry about your dress, WE'RE THERE!!!
• If you live in Delaware or Maryland but wish to have a destination wedding, it will be much easier to do all of your post-production wedding album stuff with us a local photography studio. (If you live outside of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, then ignore this point. We're easy to work with regardless of your home base.)
• With Hitched Photography you won't be stuck with some cheesy, unknown, in-house, trainee STAFF photographer shooting your lovely wedding! Wouldn't it be better to retain the services of a known and trusted company? These are your precious WEDDING photos, after all.
Help us to help you! Let's go to England. Or to Cancun. Or even Sydney, or perhaps Tahiti. Think of how fun it will be!
Five openings each year. They fill up fast. Call today: 443-513-1304
We have our passports ready!

2009 Weddings in the Bay Adventure
Greetings, Brides and Grooms of Summer 2009
For those of you getting married in around the summer of 2009 and are looking for something different, so you know, I have something for you. If you don’t have any big, Big reception plans, maybe not a lot of guests, looking for something just all out romantic, than our weddings on the bay might suit you.
We are working on 3 different options for couples to choose from, starting with our 10 people or less wedding. We’d take the bride and groom out with up to 8 of their friends and or family on our pontoon boat, to a nice romantic spot on the bay. Perhaps it’s during the day and you’d like to get your feet wet, we could pull up on a sand bar, jump out and have a cute little ceremony right there. We provide the wedding officiant, the professional photographer, music, complimentary champagne, sodas, and water. After the ceremony we can toast, take a few more photos, and maybe head off to another great spot for a nice photo shoot, where I’d arrange the lovely couple in a series of poses the express love and feeling. And then off to shore, were you can continue on to your reception, dinner, or maybe you are eloping.
Option 2 would be better suited for couples, clinging to tradition of not wanting to see each other before the wedding and have more than 10 guests. The max number of guests would be 20 split up between two boats. The idea behind this wedding is to have the wedding minister drive out with the groom and various guests to a predetermined spot, ready to go and eagerly awaiting his bride. Boat number two would have the photographer, the bride and her various guests riding out to the wedding spot ready to be married to her future husband. We can pull the two boats together and perform the ceremony on the boats or if you so desire we can perform the ceremony on the sandbar or nearby island. Afterwards, we toast, take photos, ride off to a great spot for more photo opportunities, and scoot back to shore. Just like the first package, we provide the minister, photographer, champagne, sodas, and water. If you would like we could arrange for a limo pick up and drop off, for an additional charge.
Ahh, but say you have more than the 20 guests, you want something bigger, something more fun, FUN. We can take you out on the Party boat which can accommodate up to 40 people. We can provide catering, drinks, and whatever else you might need. What come with the package on this one are the minister and photographer. We’d have to discuss what all you might like to have in addition to the ceremony. Without a doubt this will be one fun ceremony and ride. We would like to do the ceremony as you would like either on the boat, on a sandbar, or little island. Taking photos, before, during, and after the ceremony. Afterwards, finding a nice spot for some truly romantic photos of the new Husband and Wife.
For those of you interested please give me a call so that we might discuss options, ideas, and what you want to make your wedding magical with us. 443-513-1304 my number, Will.

To "See" or "not to See", that is the question....
I recently went to a wedding expo to pick up some new fresh skills in wedding photography. There were three big photographers there teaching some thirty seven of us. And one of the things they were teaching us was to try, try, and try to get the as much of the photos done before the wedding as you can. One of the crazy problems we run into in our line of work as wedding photographers is when the couples say the “I Dos”, kiss and walk down the aisle, everything quickly descends into madness. People start to swarm all over the couple, if we start working on photos, and say for example we want to take the photo of the bride’s mom and dad with the bride, it never fails we are missing someone, Either dad’s at the car, or mom maybe in the restroom. If you have a large bridal party and its time from the bridal party shoot, we are always missing either a bridesmaid or groomsman after the ceremony.
Why not get these photos done, before the wedding? I ask this question, and 90% of the time I get the same response, “no we’d like to stick to tradition”. I ask myself what are the pros and cons to getting your photos taken before hand, and on the pro’s side we have:
* It helps ease the bride and groom before the wedding, much like a little preview of events to come or a mini rehearsal of the wedding.
* Everyone is pretty much standing around waiting anyway, it gives everyone something to do while they are waiting for the main event.
* After the ceremony you are free to move along to your reception party a lot sooner and meet up with your guests.
* It’s much easier to take shoots of the couple leaving and walking through bubbles, flower pedals, or other cool leaving ideas. It would be weird to walk through everyone throwing rose pedals at you and you get to the car, and then have to turn around to go back in the church for pictures.
* If we missed any shots before the wedding it would be easier to take those quick few we might have missed instead of taking them all right then after the wedding.
Now on the con’s side of the argument:
Tradition. That s it!
Time and time again, the only thing, one point that all brides and groom try and make with me is “we’d like to stick with tradition” now, I’m all for giving the bride and groom what they want. It’s their wedding, why shouldn’t they have everything they want. But If I’m giving them something that makes their wedding run smoother and better, why not take it?
At least weigh the pros and cons for yourself and give it some serious thought. I mean really think about it, you have a bride and groom here, what they were a few days ago? More than likely you had an in love couple, probably living together still and planning their wedding. Chances are they lived together and seen each other all the way up to the day of their ceremony. Tradition not too long ago would be for the couple not to live together, not to even really hang out like we do these days, and certainly no pre marital sex before marriage. That was way back in the day, and times do change. Why not start changing this ago old tradition? Well something to think about.

Are all DJs created equal?
This Saturday’s wedding came with a powerful point that I’ve been trying to hit home with couples for years. We got hired out to photograph a wedding and we had to interact with a DJ we’ve never worked with before. And I would have to say the DJ is either new to the business or totally burnt out, as he exerted NO professional courteous to anyone else in the wedding business, namely the photographer (I’m not sure about anyone else). When it came time for the cutting cake, that’s like an important part for a photographer to shoot, we plan for that, we ask the DJ or wedding planner to let us know when that’s happening. And what did this DJ do you might ask, well as the bride and groom were eating we stopped for a few minutes to eat as well, and with no extra place settings, dinner was eaten out in the hallway. The food was only partially eaten when we checked on the bride and groom to find they had cut the cake in our absence. The DJ could have waited; the DJ should have had the respect to let us know, come on. We checked with him as soon as we came in the door, so there was no misunderstanding on our part, he knew we needed to know.
Now when a Bride or Groom calls me wanting to book photography services, my second question I ask them is, “Do you need any other wedding services, a DJ, wedding Minister, Videographer, or limousine?” Because if they say “yes we need…..” right away I’m saving the new couple money by combining services, I’m also saving them any kind of complications as I’m recommending Great professionals that I’ve worked with in the past and have had wonderful experiences with. Take for example, DJ Jawz also known as Jason. Great guy and Awesome DJ, there have been times when I’m off photographing say the parents outside, or grabbing bite, or even using the restroom, and I know for a fact that Jason has got my back in that wedding. He’ll give me heads up on everything that might happen, along with keeping that dance floor hopping.
I got booked at one wedding and there was a DJ Casey, and I can tell you right now, not the best choice, shy on the microphone and not all that in tune with the crowd. Just keep all this in mind, if you are looking for multiple wedding services, please let me know so I can let you know what works well to make your day a great one.

Biker Wedding
It was biker week in Ocean City and I had a wedding to do on a Friday. I got called and booked up last minute so I didn’t get a whole lot of details on this wedding. I dread driving into Ocean City during bike week, not because of the bikers but because of my lack of a bike. I had a Honda Shadow 600 that I wanted to trade in for something newer but never got around to getting a newer bike.
Anyway catching up with the bride before the wedding, first thing I noticed was the helmets on the table. After some discussion found out Sherri was a rider, which I got a kick out of. I snapped some photos then went out to where the Minister was ready for the ceremony. I was pretty surprised to see biker after biker coming around the corner with their group colors and vests on. I knew then we were going to have a good time with this wedding.
You can check out the group at https://www.leann2thelimit.com/Home_Page.php
And the photos online are at http://hitchedphoto.smugmug.com/gallery/5953534_iMJK7#371453817_MXT5j

Why a phone call can save you money.
I often wonder why I get as many emails as I do, but not as many phone calls. With my phone number all over my websites and on my business cards, why not call instead of writing an email. Not unless someone is price shopping and sending out the exact same emails out to different photographers but still they aren’t getting the best deal I’m sure. Here’s an example of how a phone call saved me money and why I encourage people to do the same. My wife and I were going on vacation down to Busch Gardens with her mother and I called up the number on the brochure we had to ask the question, “is it cheaper to buy tickets online or at the gate?” The woman on the other line mentioned a special discount just started at McDonalds, where you get $12 off each ticket. She then asked if I was military by chance and I said yes, Air Force. Apparently military get in for free there and I didn’t know it because the last time I was there was when I was in high school. So because I called and the woman gave me that good information I brought my ID card and the coupon to the front gate. Not only did I get in for free but also my wife, and in the end we saved over $100 just from phone call.
If I were to get an email, all I might know is their date and they are looking for photography. I would then suggest my lowest package for $1000 for 3 hours of photography with various items in the package.
Now what if it were a couple getting married and the only people present to this event would be the children. Why charge them $1000 when I could offer then say a beach portrait price package of $300 and it includes prints and an hour of photography. So a phone call would have saved them $700.
Just something to think about next time you are shopping around. Even if its not with me, call around, you never know the other person on the phone might be a helpful person.

Summer 2008
Its been one heck of a busy summer, which is the reason for not Blogging in a long time. If I'm not out photographying weddings, I'm working on the new Ocean City Wedding Guide which goes into production this month. Also busy working on various web pages, and photo editing. I'm looking forward to the off season as it will give me a chance to play catch up on Blogs, projects, web design, photoshopping summer's wedding photos, and creating new ads for our wedding guide domains. So definately check back to the blog for some updates, news, and fun.

Maternity Shoot
On monday, 21st of July, My wife Olya and I had the extreme pleasure of photographying Anne and John. Two great and awesome people we just love to photograph. She is due to deliver a baby boy in just under a month, and we were like "we have got to photograph you and your belly". And it all happen on that monday. What was nice was that my wife, Olya was with me and it helped tremendously. When I went to get us some refreshments, she was photographing them and when I exhausted all my ideas, she came up with new and creative ones. With out a doubt it was a pleasure being part of Anne and John's special time and capturing the love.
Check out some of the photos here.

PPASD Photo Shoot
We had one of our first workshops with the new PPASD during our July meeting and it was a great time. Paula from Barefoot studios was our instructor that day educating us on the use of available light. Getting us to basically stop our impulse to use the flash and work with what you got. Towards the end of the evening we got to playing with the Flash bouncing and it was alot of fun. I'm happy to have had a chance to work with these fine models that evening.

Kim and Matt Wedding
An Air Force wedding, I’d like to get more of these weddings as they have a different feel to them then beach or regular weddings. And by different I mean, the man in uniform were laid back kind of people but while in uniform they have that military baring that keeps them standing in certain positions and holding themselves in that military way. And I know that wearing the uniform gets awfully hot, so I wanted to be quick about the photographs I take. It’s always good to catch our men and women in uniform on camera so that they may look upon these images with fond memories of their time in service.
I really liked the church Kim and Matt choose for their wedding day, the layout was fun and easy to shoot in. The pastor was a super cool guy, with a church as fancy as that one was, I thought for sure he wouldn’t let me use my flash, but he was totally ok with it. And after the ceremony the pastor and I were talking and he gave me some new ideas for photographing the bride and groom. One of the obstacles I had to overcome was the height difference between the bride and groom. Positioning them in certain ways was the key to making the photos look right. I brought along a new assistant photographer, Damon for some training. I photographed him before for his own portfolio and for his music album cover and I really liked his creative ideas he had for posing and locations. I know he will make a great photographer. I am starting to get rather busy and so I know that I’ll need to support of my crew to continue providing the best service I can to the clients and friends.

Rehoboth Beach Thunderstorm
Living in Rehoboth beach and having a place on the third floor has given me a nice front row seat to a lot of Delaware’s weather. I’ve always been fascinated by weather, from snow storms to hurricanes and I’m a big fan of rain, not sure why. Granted when I have a wedding to do that day or a beach portrait, I pray for sunshine and good weather, but when I’m working on photos or just chilling out indoors, I love to look out and see the rain fall.
I’ve always wanted to capture my own images of lightning strikes but never took the time to walk out into a storm and photograph them. Number one it’s not a good idea to take $3000 worth of gear near or around water. You can put it in baggies or use an umbrella but why take the risk. This time however, the storm was off in the distance and it was a awesome site to see. On these images I held the camera by hand, I had the shutter speed on 1 second, and manual focus. I had to guess approximately when it might flash again. But in some cases, it would flash, I would snap the picture and then a second flash would follow and I got it.

Jen and Mike Wedding
Well over 1000 images were taken this Saturday and the transferring of over 12 gigs of data took a good bit of time on Sunday. The wedding that Justin, Justin and I attended was in Baltimore at the Sheraton Hotel. Justin, That DJ Guy, was our driver and the reason we all came together on that fine afternoon. He knew Jen from back in the school days and when she needed a DJ for her wedding she turn to her childhood friend, Justin. Justin and I have known each other for close to 2 years now and I was the one who photographed his wedding a year ago. So when Jen said she needed a photographer too, Justin suggested me. Lucky me!
For this event which was big, I brought along my photographer friend and business partner in Miniloc Marketing, Justin Michalski. You can’t image how the 2-3 hour journey from Salisbury to Baltimore flew by with the three of us in the minivan, joking, telling stories and having a good old time. Definitely was a great ride. However getting back into Salisbury at 1am was not pretty. And it took me till 2:30 am to get myself home after dropping Justin off at his place along the way to Rehoboth.
The wedding went great with only a few bumps along the way. Jen allowed me ample time to get some fun creative photos before the ceremony, and with 6 bridesmaids and 2 junior bridesmaids and a flower girl. We were supposed to take photos outside the Sheraton entrance where they had these cute waterfalls, however the construction did not allow for that. Bump 1. After the ceremony the bridal party all wanted to enjoy the cocktail hour rather than grab the after ceremony formals and that caused a ripple that was felt later when it was so hard to get the bridal party out for one quick shot after the cake cutting. So what is normally a 20 – 50 photo shooting experience turned into 3 pictures of the whole group and that was it. Bump 2. We had a 4 year old flower girl that was as darling as could be, but after the first photo was taken, she wasn’t into it much anymore. After a while she warmed up but when you need instant smiles to grab the shots in a few minutes, we don’t always have hours for the one person to come around to smiling.
The dance floor was “HOPPING” with a capital Hop, as I knew it would with Justin, That DJ Guy. His charismatic personality without a doubt a powerful force in helping people have a good time. He was joking with the crowd, played all the right songs, and even stuck around 20 plus minutes after his time had ended just to please the people. Having worked with him before I knew I was in for a good time. But Bump 4 showed up unexpectedly, there was this Drunk guy that was shouting, “worst DJ ever” and it took every ounce of self control not to walk him out the room. Justin was going by the long list of songs that Jen and Mike requested. The song in question was that “we are family” song. What can the poor guy do, but play the songs he was hired to play. Granted he mixed it up a bit, throwing in some good dancing songs he knew would please the crowd. It’s just, he nowhere near a bad DJ, the guy was Drunk and I just had to keep telling myself that.
All in all it was fun to do this wedding and with my crew with me, it was more fun than work.
For this event which was big, I brought along my photographer friend and business partner in Miniloc Marketing, Justin Michalski. You can’t image how the 2-3 hour journey from Salisbury to Baltimore flew by with the three of us in the minivan, joking, telling stories and having a good old time. Definitely was a great ride. However getting back into Salisbury at 1am was not pretty. And it took me till 2:30 am to get myself home after dropping Justin off at his place along the way to Rehoboth.
The wedding went great with only a few bumps along the way. Jen allowed me ample time to get some fun creative photos before the ceremony, and with 6 bridesmaids and 2 junior bridesmaids and a flower girl. We were supposed to take photos outside the Sheraton entrance where they had these cute waterfalls, however the construction did not allow for that. Bump 1.

Ocean City Air Show
It was the last day of the first annual Ocean City Air Show and I almost didn’t go. I’ve got all this work to do, building websites, getting photos ready for printing, and photos to scan. But my wife says I should go, and take a break. So I did. And boy was it ever cool. I’m used to seeing big air shows at RAF Mildenhall, England when I was stationed there in the Air Force. I got to see the B2, and I even got a chance to touch the F-117. I found out later I wasn’t supposed to, because of the material its covered in. by far my favorite aircraft is the B1B Lancer. When I was at Mildenhall and worked on the flight line I parked my truck right next to the runway, I heard this plane was inbound and wanted to see it. It came in with its wings swept back and zoomed through, it was sooo loud and powerful the whole ground shock around me. It was incredible!
Now Ocean City is having the Air Show and I was thinking that it would only be Bi planes or Cessnas. My father saw it the day before and told me about the F16 and the F15 both Super cool planes and I missed being near fighter planes. So I had to see it. Sean’s parents had a place right there on 19th St, right on the boardwalk. It was the sweetest place to view it all; I definitely had the hook up there. Later we left the family party but they hadn’t shown the F16 yet so I stayed. I was seated right near the beach, and when it came out from behind the hotel area, it scared the crap out of me. I couldn’t focus the camera, I was shaking so bad. It was just so loud and all of a sudden, but it was so cool. So with this being the first Annual Air show, I’m looking forward to the next, how to see you all there.

Kung Fu Panda
It’s not photo related, but hey it’s my blog and I’d like to pass on the good news. For those of you who are looking for a fun, I mean FUN movie, this was it. The last movie I saw before this one was Iron Man and it was really, Really good (saw it twice good) but with Kung Fu Panda, I was laughing so hard, and then crying the next. The action sequences were so amazing I was on the edge of my seat. The color and graphics had me going “ohhh, Ahhh” left and right. Without a doubt I’m wanting to own this movie. I was a big fan of Toy Story when it came out, and this is right up there with it. Now I know it’s a cartoon, and I’m not a kid, but it was pretty Awesome. “Will Recommended” Enjoy!
Patron Party at Ocean Pines Beach Club
I got called up to one of the weirdest gigs I've ever really had. I put together a type of “Party Package” where I would take photos at an event and print them out on the spot, something like a photo booth but with a lot more fun and flexibility. And the goal was to make it work in the reception part of a wedding, however at the Ocean Pines Beach Club we were demonstrating it and they people there really liked it. And that’s how I got this gig, even though it wasn’t wedding related it was certainly a lot of fun and I’d like to get more photography jobs like that in the future. 
The Patron party was pretty, I’d like to say “off the hook” but it wasn’t really that hopping. There was a really good turnout of people and another 10 to 20 more people might have made too crowded. As people would sign in, I’d greet them and offer to take their picture in front of cute little backdrop I created. After words, I’d let them know their photo would be printed up in about 3 minutes and could pick them up over on the table. Everything was paid for, and so the photos were free. I’ve done this at other events where the customers would pay for the images, this way it actually just worked out for everyone. I was happy, the music was great, they would bring around all the free Patron samples you could try, and I sampled a few. Not enough to make wallaby but the right amount to blend in with all the other people and have fun with them. It was great, hats off to you folk with the Ocean Pines Association. http://www.oceanpines.org/

Doug and Michelle Wedding
I can’t say this was the smallest wedding I’ve ever photographed, as there are a few times when its only me, the couple getting married and the minister. Those are small events. But with Michelle and Doug’s wedding what it lacked in size it made up with in character. The ceremony took place down at Assateague state park; right on the beach and we were actually able to have a pony show up on queue. With it starting at 6:30pm the light was a bit harsh on the skin and hard to see without sunglasses. All in all it was fun. 
I had my video crew out there videotaping the wedding. My wife Olya manning camera one and Big John as I like to call him manning camera two. They were both capturing the event from all angles. Olya was able to get the pony walking ahead of the bride before her grand entrance.
Afterwards I photographed the bridal party on the beach and the broke it up to just the bride and groom shots. We then headed over to the Harrisons Harbor Watch down by the Ocean City Inlet, where the reception was being held. I did a wedding there with my buddy Leo before and we already knew of some cool spots to photograph the bride and groom. Soon it was time to get down and get funky with the crazy tunes DJ Jaws was playing. DJ Jaws by far one of the coolest DJ’s around and as a matter of fact he’s due to get married in 2009 and we were talking about where he is going to have his wedding. We just couldn’t decide whether I was going to do the photography at his wedding here in Ocean City, or in Cancun, Mexico. My vote is for Cancun.

Meghan & Ross Wedding
Congratulations Meghan and Ross! You two were great to be around and I really loved photographing your wedding. 
Both Meghan and Ross are New Yorkers that converged in Ocean City for their place to host their wedding vows as it accommodated more family members. Not to mention Ocean City is a great place to have wedding, where we have the beach with all the sun and fun you could want. The Clarion was their choice of venue and a cool place to have a wedding. I had my second photographer Holly with me on this one, and my buddy Justin Darling was there doing the DJ. And what a time we had, when Justin gets going doing his DJ thing, he really is getting the party going. 
Towards the end of the evening, we got all the shots we could get, we all had a fun time dancing and grooving to the hopping tunes Justin was playing.
Ross and Meghan were super cool and photographed real well. There was a person issue going on with the couple that we picked up on, but I like to think Holly and I kept them in good spirits to help their day along and to get great photos.
I can recommend the Clarion as a really nice place to get married, as you have the beach for outdoor shots and lots of indoor spots to grab photos. And without a doubt I wouldn’t have had such a great time if my buddy Justin Darling wasn’t there, he kept the party rolling.

Damon with X-Factor Unknown Photo Shoot
I met Damon when I got called into fix some computers for Maximum Video on 64th St. He is the manager there and an inspiring music artist. We got to talking about websites and Myspace, which led into me telling him about my web design ability. I mentioned that with http://www.minilocmarketing.com/ we only charge a small monthly fee to design a web site as opposed to a large onetime fee of $1000 or something. 
Anyway, I wanted to hook him up with a photo shoot to go along with his new website http://www.x-factor-unknown.com/ and we choose to photograph him around Ocean City but with unique backdrops or different places around the inlet. It just so happens that it was raining around 8am when we decided to shoot, and decided to go with it. I personally thing the rain and over cast added an emotion to the photos that you don’t always get when it’s nice and sunny. We hit the other side of the 50 bridge and got some great warm up shots. Then we moved on in and parked near the bridge so we can photograph under it. I think those shots turned out great. We also took pictures closer to the inlet parking lot and then headed up to Seacrets to grab some of those wild backdrops. 
All in all it was a great time even though it was raining. By the end we were both totally soaked but we were totally happy with the way the photos turned out. Damon was an awesome model to work with. He brought a ton of creative ideas to the table which made almost every photo different from the next. Damon was so cool with the wet weather, he never complained, not once. And for me it’s rare to get guys to want to take photos, so to me it was a rare fun time.
I look forward to seeing which photo he decides to go with for his album cover, and if you’d like to listen to some of his tracks, they’ll be on the website, when I get it finished and he’s also on Myspace look for him there.

Dan & Shelly Wedding
Well its Blog make up time for me, I got behind in keeping up with this.
Saturday was crazy for me this time around, as I had to photograph a Air Force Retirement ceremony, a wedding, and a family reunion all on this day. I’m very fortunate to have a good group of support photographers to assist me. My right hand man and business partner, Justin did a stellar job with juggling the wedding and the family reunion. And Holly with a creative eye and drive to do a fantastic job, I couldn’t have made this day happen without either of them.
Dan and Shelly picked out this super gorgeous location called Ransome’s Chesapeake Retreat. Run by Percy and Marie with whom I had the privilege to meet. This spot was by far one of the most beautiful that I’ve had a chance to work in. It offered up so many wonderful backdrops for our photos, we just didn’t have enough time to hit them all. If we weren’t careful their wedding day would turn into Photo shoot day, if we took too many photos. I definitely see myself going back out there again just to take photos of the water and different spots. If you are looking for that one of a kind wedding location this is it. http://www.chesapeakeretreats.com/ or call 1-888-726-7662
I wanted to give a shout out to the DJ’s that were there as well. Jim with http://www.jumpingjukebox.com/ (1-302-629-3079) is a pretty cool guy, keeping me informed of the upcoming events of the evening. When I first got there, he came up to me and introduced himself. What was weird is he knew my name right away, and I’m like “Do I know you?” , he just took the time to find out who all the key players where in this event and that just showed me his level of professionalism. A couple of times I had a hard time holding the camera still as I found I was grooving to the music they were playing. This wedding was by far a lot of fun. And to Dan and Shelly, thank you for a lovely time. Both Holly and Justin said you guys where great to photograph and hang with.

Lucis Art & Ocean Pines Yacht Club Wedding
This was a great wedding in the month of February. Because I'm new to this whole blog thing, I'm kinda working from now and going backwards, discussing weddings and various other events. At the Ocean Pines Yacht club it had alot of great back drops for photographing. It was not going to happen photographing the wedding party indoors as the space was some what limited. We were lucky this day as it wasn't too cold.
These photos were run through a Photoshop plug in called Lucis Art and thougth it made for some unique creative images. For those of you that play with photoshop it's a fun plug in and it can really warp and image or enchance it just enough to be interesting.
The time of day these photos were taken wasn't the best as the shadows were a bit harsh. But I was limited on time and worked with it. It was a bit chilly and I would have liked to have spent more time outside taking some creative pictures, but I could tell the bride was getting cold.

This was a fun wedding to photograph. I liked having a larger bridal party to work with and with the colorful dresses it made for a very cool picture. About the only thing that I would say was a negative, was the groomsmen were difficult to work with. Later I found out that, they were ready to go for pictures at 3pm and the bride and I discussed 4pm with pre wedding photos and somewhere those poor guys got some misinformation and they weren’t in the best of moods.
Shannon looked very beautiful and it was fun working with her veil as I’m finding some brides just choose not to go with them. And Roger was cool to work with, he is one big dude. And the Pastor was so awesome, 90% of the time I’m not allowed to use flash in the church during the ceremony and he was really ok with it. After the ceremony and we were photographing outside the church he himself was working on posing the bride and groom to take a few fun shots. It’s always a treat when everyone gets creative and we make some fun photographs.

Vogal Wedding
This was a really cool wedding. I've been itching to do more with the Air Force and wedding photography, but because I live so far south and because I’m not on orders at the moment, I don’t get many Air Force clients. It does my heart good, to help others who serve in our nation’s armed services, so keep that in mind if you are Active duty, Reservist or Guard, I’ll take care of you.
This was a wedding renewal which is something I’ve wanted to do with my wife and I. But in my case, I plan to have the wedding in Russia with her family present. I was able to have my assistant take the high shots from one of the bridesmaid’s room, which made for some pretty neat photos.
Any time you get a beach wedding, you can’t help but get some fun pictures.

New with Pictage
I'm happy to announce I'll be using Pictage for all my photo hosting. After reading several reviews, talking with other photographers, watching testimonial videos, I’ve decided to go with this company over Smugmug, which is what I was using.
Some of the benefits to clients:
~ a lot of times I’ll get bogged down with projects, meeting with clients, and working on everyday life stuff, I’ll get pulled in so many directions. I wanted to provide the client with great pictures after an event, and with Pictage they have a team of people that color correct the images, help with the photo ordering, and even album design and framing. So it’s like having an assistant, without having to direct them all the time.
~ prices will remain the same on prints and albums.
~ with Pictage they’ll offer 2 for 1 deals, discounts, and other savings I might not have offered before.
Well I hope you all will enjoy it as much as I will, and if you don’t please let me know so I can correct any issues.
