    Proposal photography

    By Rob | July 23, 2008

    There is a first time for everything! One of my buddies (Gubby) from high school asked me to photograph him proposing to his girlfriend on the beach. So, I nervously agreed. This is tough because I didn’t want to ruin the proposal by being seen! We planned, and I scoped out the area in Fenwick Island Delaware. I pretended I was sitting on the beach laying out next to the “doggy dropping bag” station. Everything went smoothly and when Gubby told Mel that I was up near the dunes it was hilarious! It reminded me of when someone finds out they’re on Candid Camera…and Mel turned around with a huge smile….scanning left and right. We then headed over to Fager’s Island in Ocean City Maryland for dinner at sunset. Then, Gubby asked me to be the best man in his wedding!!!! Oh yeah!!! Now I have the responsibility as the best man to find them a wedding photographer!

    Hotel duPont wedding

    By Rob | July 22, 2008

    Well Christen, Lyle and I had an awesome time during their Lewes Delaware engagement pictures. Their wedding festivities started off at Hotel Dupont where the girls and family got ready. Then we moved over to St. Elizabeth Church for the ceremony. After some some quick wedding pictures at the Brandywine River we headed back for their Hotel DuPont wedding!

    Jamaican Kids

    By Rob | July 9, 2008

    Here are some more pictures of Jamaican kids taken during my photography adventures after Brenda and Jason’s Riu Ocho Rios wedding!  My Jamaica journeys after the wedding took me all over Ochos Riu, up Mt. Zion and back down to a small beach near Dunns Rivers Falls.

     

    They curiously watched me as I walked up on these little Jamaican school kids.

    The moment I smiled and gave them a wave…..they smiled ear to ear and started yelling!

    Nassau Valley Vineyards wedding

    By Rob | June 24, 2008

    This past weekend I had double weddings!  I rarely book two wedding in one weekend, but this was an exception.  Annette and Chris’s ceremony started at St Edmonds Church in Rehoboth Beach Delaware (where I got married), and moved to Nassau Valley Vineyards for the reception.  Yes, I shot a wedding at Nassau Valley the night before!!! Bayside Limo was also the limo service, too!  Gotta love the small town.  After the ceremony, we headed to the Rehoboth Beach boardwalk for some bridal party pictures.  Their wedding day went off without a hitch and wedding guests danced until the end!

    Nassau Valley Vineyards wedding

    By Rob | June 23, 2008

    Erin came to me by way of a couple friends, a co-worker and Bayberry Flowers! When I received the first email I was pretty sure I knew who it was. Come to find out I regularly spike on her brother during “Sunday Funday volleyball!!!” (What’s up, Matt?) Anyways…everything fell in place, and I was slated to photograph Erin and Rob’s Nassau Valley Vineyard wedding. After several attempts we finally got together for their Lewes Delaware Engagement pictures! Soon I found out that Rob was an IT guy and we quickly dove in……and out of conversation about Unix and such! I think Erin fell asleep in that 5 minute period.

    Their wedding day started in Lewes Delaware and moved over to Nassau Valley Vineyards. The ceremony and reception were all at the vineyards. After the ceremony, Bayside Limo carted the wedding party and me to Cape Henlopen State Park for some pictures. Then headed back to Nassau Valley Vineyards to start the party! Boy, did they party!!!

    Planning a destination wedding

    By Rob | June 23, 2008

    When is the right time to start planning your destination wedding?

    By Laura Rostenberg Sangster, CTA

    The exact answer to this question is almost as varied as the number of possible wedding locations! Let’s first consider the required time-frame to secure your desired ceremony date at the resort. High Season in warm weather locations for a Caribbean wedding, Mexico wedding, and Hawaii wedding is from mid-December to mid-April. High Season essentially means the airfare and resort rates are higher, spiking because of the popularity of these four months. High Season in the tropics also correlates with the best months for perfect weather, an important consideration for any bride! Being that resorts sell out first for High Season dates, 12 months out is a good scale for brides preferring this time of year. Following High Season, May and June is the second most popular time of year for Destination Weddings and planning 9 months out is recommended. Fall is peak hurricane season and the least desirable weather-wise, but offers the most advantageous rates. The lower the rates, the more people will likely be able to attend your wedding – something to consider if fêting the night away with your entire family and many friends is important! For a fall wedding, you can usually secure your top time choice 6 months out.

    Of course, there are other essentials to consider when knowing when to start planning. Because photography is likely the most crucial element to any wedding, many brides are opting to bring their own wedding photographer. Good Destination Wedding photographers and wedding coordinators book out 12 months in advance. Most other necessary vendors such as florists and caterers are based locally and 6 months out is a good plan, longer if you want flowers that are not grown locally. For my own Destination Wedding in Jamaica, I dreamed of a Calla Lillie bouquet, not being grown on the island we had to have them flown in, requiring extra planning time.

    Lastly, but certainly not least important, your guests will appreciate as much notice as possible so they will have adequate time to plan and research their own travel plans!

    Cheers,

    Lewes Delaware wedding

    By Rob | June 19, 2008

    After spending a day with Sara and Steve for their Washington DC engagement pictures, I knew we’d have fun on their wedding day! The day started at Bad Hair Day in Lewes Delaware with a ceremony at St Jude’s Church. Then we drove around a bit to Rehoboth Beach and Lewes Delaware for some more wedding photography. Sara and Steve were down for doing whatever…as long as it was fun! Then we headed back to Sara’s parents’ home for a small wedding reception and some great food by The Buttery Restaurant.
