Anna contacted us to shoot her engagement photos after she bought a Groupon back in January. Originally, she wanted her photographs taken during the Cherry Blossom festival in Washington, DC. Unfortunately for the both of us, tourist season was a bit out of control and our scheduled engagement simply wasn’t going to fall into place. We had no other choice but to reschedule. With the cherry blossoms coming into bloom a little earlier than usual, we bit the bullet and moved our shoot to a second cherry blossom location in Bethesda. A community called Kenwood. But by the time we got there, the blossoms had run their course.

But, the shoot was far from awash. The photographs that emerged were beautiful, and in the end didn’t need the help of the cherry blossoms.

This is no April Fools joke! Petruzzo Photography is offering big discounts for portraits and weddings booked in April. These are deals you won’t want to miss out on!

Double Commission on Weddings

It’s no secret, Petruzzo Photography offers a great deal on commissions for wedding photography. When you recommend a friend to Petruzzo Photography’s wedding service, you receive a generous 5% commission. But during April, you’ll get double that! 10% commission means you could earn as much as $449 just for referring someone to Petruzzo Photography!

But it gets better!

During April, you can do something nice for a friend and donate your commission to the couple and help them save up to 20% on their wedding package*.

Free Portraits With All Weddings

While you always save money when you book a portrait session along with your wedding, this month we’ll do you one better and give the portrait session away for free when you book your wedding with Petruzzo Photography—a $50** value, free this month.

Double Portrait Prints

Each portrait package comes with one 8×10” print and two 6×9” prints. But, during the month of April, you’ll receive double prints on all portrait sessions—over a $45 value!

*Fans of the Petruzzo Photography Facebook Page always save 10%.

**Portrait sessions booked alongside a wedding cost $50.

Jessie was the subject of a portrait I did in late fall this year. The image is part of a project that I’ll debut as a set sometime next year.

When her brother came home from school they finally had a small window in which to get some family portraits done. So they called and set it up for the only date they had available to do them. And it was raining!

Notice how as the photographs progress, everyone gets more and more wet—and cold! But we made the most of it, and had lots of fun in the process! It just goes to show that perfect weather doesn’t make great pictures—great families do!

Zack and Thuli are good friends. Due to some legal hoops with her visa, Thuli has to spend a few months back home in South Africa. As a couple, the two decided to have some portraits made before she had to leave.

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

The Neuenschwanders contacted me to do some family portraits. They wanted something a little more creative than even most custom portrait photography.
