Another Petruzzo Photography shooter, Felipe, and myself got so into the action that we’re now apparently official members of the band. Felipe plays the Triangle and I rock-out a mean kazoo solo.

Travis & Shanel had nothing short of a beautiful wedding at the Mt. Airy Mansion in Upper Marlboro Maryland. The whole grounds were a hot-bed of great photo opportunities. In fact, narrowing down some of my favorites to share was quite a challenge. Combine that with the couple’s decidedly fun-loving attitude and wonderful family, not only were we able to capture some beautiful images, but we had a whole lot of fun doing so!

For me, finding a creative way to deliver our albums has always satisfied some creative itch that’s somehow unrelated to photography. In this case, I designed a delivery package around the iPad, borrowing colors (on the box) from the wedding itself, and a black velvet casing inside that looked great with the glossy display of the iPad. To top it off, I set up a custom slide-show in the iPad which was already playing when Shanel and Travis opened the box for the first time.

I love my job.

Randy and his wife enlisted our services in 2009 to capture some images of the two of them and their poochy friends. Pleased with the results, Randy called again.

These are a couple images that were captured at an Annapolis pub where Randy was playing a few songs with friends:

The rest of these images were captured around the decommissioned Crownsville Hospital near Annapolis.

Talitha, a self-proclaimed control-freak, had the reigns tight on her wedding day, making absolutely sure that everything was queued up and ready to go, and with ten bride’s maids, it’s a good thing she did! But unlike many of the ‘bridezillas’ we hear about, Talitha was not only on top of things, she was calm, collected, friendly and having a great time, enjoying her day. I was nothing short of impressed. Then there’s David. David, though natively a laid back, go-with-the-flow kind of guy, like any good fiancé, picked up the slack wherever it was needed. Together they were like a powerhouse of productivity and cool-collectedness that really made you feel comfortable.

Talitha & David opted not to use my services to photograph the bulk of their reception, and the creative formals were primarily limited to the couple.

These were taken on a small patch of rural land in Bowie, MD.
