DANIELLE + DEREK // ENGAGEMENT

Rob — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 05:44:21 +0000

Danielle and Derek have been on my radar for quite a while and they actually got to see me in action during Sharon and Wells wedding at the Granary Restaurant a few months back. Danielle and Derek chose Valley Garden Park in Greenville, Delaware as the setting for their engagement photos. I just so happened to be on my way home from a wedding in Philadelphia that morning and it was quite convenient to drop into Delaware and hang out with this super cute couple. It was very easy to see how much in love this couple was. I don’t think they ever stepped more than a few inches from each other the whole time we were shooting. I am quite excited to shoot their wedding photographs at the Mt Harmon Plantation in Earleville, Maryland this fall.

ELIZABETH + KRZYSZTOF // ENGAGEMENT

Rob — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 21:10:07 +0000

When Elizabeth and Krzysztof called and said they were going to be in my neck of the woods for vacation I jumped on the opportunity to meet up with them and shoot their engagement photos. I met this fabulous couple at a beach house right on the boardwalk in Bethany Beach, Delaware. This would be my first opportunity to shoot engagement photos in Bethany Beach so we trekked around the bustling beach resort town catching all the sights, smells and experiences one enjoys while on vacation. My favorite spot we stopped at was actually under the boardwalk. It was an opportunity for Elizabeth andKrzysztof to get out of the limelight and just focus on each other for a moment. What beach engagement shoot wouldn’t be complete without a little stroll along the beach and crashing waves at their feet from the Atlantic Ocean. I am very much looking forward to your Maryland Wedding. Congrats to you both!

SARAH + LUKE // ENGAGEMENT

Rob — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 00:26:39 +0000

It’s not often you get the opportunity to work for your peers let alone your competition. Needless to say I was excited and nervous about shooting Sarah and Luke’s engagement session in Ocean City, Maryland. You see Sarah and Luke are both firefighters in Bethany Beach, Delaware and I’m a firefighter in Ocean City, Maryland. Our departments work and train together often so I’ve seen this couple getting down and dirty… on the fire ground that is. So the competition…. Sarah is also a photographer here on the Eastern Shore. I think we picked one of the hottest days of the summer to shoot their engagement photographs, it had to be at least 100 degrees. You would think living here at the beach you would get used to the temperature… not so much. We met at Northside Park in Ocean City and actually stumbled upon an Art show taking place in the park. While we fought the heat we certainly grabbed some amazing shots that definitely brought out the personality in this couple. Their wedding at Baywood Greens in Long Neck, Delaware this fall is certain to be one to remember. Cheers to you both!

JENNIFER + NATHAN // ENGAGEMENT

Rob — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 04:08:03 +0000

When I got the call from Jennifer and Nathan about my availability to photograph their wedding I couldn’t have been more excited the date was still available. I’ve known Nathan for a several years through my affiliation as a Lieutenant with the Ocean City Fire Department and I’ve known for a while that he and Jennifer were planning a very simple and classy wedding in Pennsylvania. Nathan, Jennifer and I met at the Assawoman Wildlife Area near Fenwick Island and Bethany Beach Delaware to shoot their engagement photos. The wildlife area is a 3100 acre park which is a quiet oasis amidst several nearby local beach communities. When Nathan originally called and asked if I would mind if they brought Jennifer’s Corvette to take pictures with I was thinking it was a modern, sort of traditional car and didn’t think much of it. I was absolutely blown away when I saw them pull up in a 1963 Stingray Corvette and did I mention it was bright orange? The best part…. Jennifer was driving and Nathan was just enjoying the ride. The “Winder Tight” Corvette has been an important part of Jennifer’s life as it was her grandfathers which was refurbished by her father and then passed down to her over the years. When we first started shooting the weather was gorgeous… it would figure that after about 10 minutes into things a cold front and fog cloud rolled in and surrounded us. Even with the impending weather reports of heavy fog and possible rain, it didn’t stop us from pimping out the Corvette and spend a few minutes getting the feel for each other both in front of the camera and behind. I am definitely looking forward to this couples August 2010 wedding. Best!

ELIZABETH + TOMMY // ENGAGEMENT

Rob — Mon, 17 May 2010 04:42:54 +0000

Elizabeth and Tommy chose Rehoboth Beach, Delaware as the setting of their wedding engagement photos. The lovely couple and I decided to meet on the boardwalk in front of the Henlopen Hotel which is known for the famous Salero Restaurante. Wouldn’t it figure as soon as we rounded the corner of the hotel we were met by big construction fences and a boardwalk that was under renovation. Feeling a little on the risky side, Elizabeth, Tommy and I ventured out onto the partially constructed boardwalk and snapped a few photos for the heck of it. What engagement shoot at the beach wouldn’t be complete without a few portraits with their feet in the sand and we wrapped up at a nearby park where Elizabeth even got Tommy to pose with a few props she brought along for the occasion. Elizabeth and Tommy are planning a mid summer wedding at Baywood Greens Golf and Country Club in Long Neck Delaware. Best to you both!

LAURA + CHUCK // ENGAGEMENT

Rob — Sat, 15 May 2010 02:35:09 +0000

Laura, Chuck and I met at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, Maryland to shoot their engagement photos. As luck would have it our initial shoot was cancelled due to rain and the second time ended up being the charm. The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum was a special place for both of them because it was the location of one of their first dates. I can’t tell you how excited I was to meet these education professionals and spend a few hours getting to know them better. If the engagement shoot was any indication of how much fun these two are, their wedding is going to be off the hook. Laura and Chuck are planning a summer wedding on a family farm in Preston, Maryland. Best wishes to you both!

MEREDITH + JEFF // ENGAGEMENT

Rob — Tue, 04 May 2010 20:50:16 +0000

Meredith, Jeff and I met up on the beach and boardwalk in Ocean City, Maryland to shoot their engagement photos. Ocean City is one of my favorite places to shoot engagement photos or wedding photos for that matter, I mean who wouldn’t love shooting at the beach right? Every time I’m at this location I always try and shoot it differently and that’s exactly what happened with this awesome couple. Our original plan was to shoot the day before but mother nature didn’t allow it so we dropped back and punted for the very next morning. While there was no rain in sight, the wind off the ocean was incredible. Nevertheless Meredith and Jeff were troopers and we stomped all over the downtown area and wrapped up at this little gem of a location on the bayside in midtown Ocean City. I am definitely looking forward to my first beach wedding of the season and my first wedding ceremony at Assateague Island National Seashore in Berlin, Maryland. Wishing you both many years of happiness!

JOCELYN + MIKE // ENGAGEMENT

Rob — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 20:20:36 +0000

I met up with Jocelyn and Mike at the Boardwalk in Ocean City, Maryland to photograph their engagement session on Easter Sunday. I always get excited shooting engagement photos because it’s usually the first time I get an opportunity to work with my clients. Since it’s unlikely that most people have ever worked with a professional photographer, it’s natural they might feel a bit nervous about having their photograph taken in a public setting. Since the wedding day is not the best time to realize those additional pressures, working with me to capture engagement photographs allows them to become more comfortable in front of the camera (and in front of other people). This experience also gives us time to establish a personal relationship. During this engagement session we all have a great time and you will be able to get to know me better both personally and professionally. Jocelyn and Mike were no exception to the rule. From bumper cars at Trimper’s Rides and Amusement Park to trying on funky sunglasses we had a lot of fun walking all around the beach and Boardwalk in Ocean City. It’s couples like this when I realize this is why I do this job…. Documenting life stories and sharing them with their family and the world. Jocelyn and Mike’s wedding in Crisfield, Maryland is sure to be a blast!

NANCY + JOE // ENGAGEMENT

Rob — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 20:50:18 +0000

When Nancy, Joe and I met to discuss their wedding plans I knew I was up against a pretty tough crowd. You see Nancy and Joe had already met with more than a half-dozen other area photographers before me and none of them had met or exceeded their needs. So you can imagine my delightment when Nancy dropped me an email the very next day saying they were so excited they could stop looking, “I was the one”.

When we started discussing locations for engagement shoots, Nancy mentioned Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. Nancy also mentioned on a little side note if we could do them in the snow that would be ideal. So we set a date and sure enough would you believe that it actually snowed? I know right, who has that kind of luck. I did make a few phone calls but I wasn’t sure Mother Nature got my message, apparently she heard me LOUD and CLEAR. The only problem is that the snow accumulation was the most the Eastern Shore had seen in over a decade and it completely shut down everything! There was so much snow that Nancy and Joe were without power for several days and couldn’t get out of their neighborhood let alone travel to another state to shoot photos. So we asked for a mulligan and sure enough there was still a little of the white stuff hanging around for their engagement session.

Nancy and Joe were an absolute pleasure to work with and I’m certain their wedding at the Salero in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware this summer will be a blast. Best wishes to you both, you rock!

JENNIFER AND RANDALL’S ENGAGEMENT ~ LONGWOOD GARDENS

Rob — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 01:44:00 +0000

I recently met Jennifer and Randall at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania to shoot their engagement photographs for JPG Photography. It would figure mother nature wasn’t going to cooperate and gave us a steady misting of rain during our entire shoot. Fortunately for us, Longwood Gardens has tons of places indoors. So Jennifer, Randall and I trekked all over the gardens and immersed ourselves not only in the breathtaking surroundings, but in the rich history as well. It was a fantastic engagement session and I can’t wait for their wedding in Camden, Delaware on Thanksgiving Day. Congrats to you both!
