Bethany Beach Engagement pictures
By Rob | April 19, 2007
I had the pleasure of shooting some engagement pictures with Emily and Geoff. They live in Annapolis, MD and came down for a couple days to finish up some last minute things before their big day. So we decided to met up for the first time in Bethany Beach, De to talk about their May wedding, get to know each other and shoot some engagement pictures.
It is so important for the B&G to get to know their photographer…and vice versa! Engagements pictures are a great opportunity for us to get a better idea of what “makes us tick.” Even though it was cold and winday we had a lot of fun hanging out, walking around town and laughing!

"The life of a photographer."
By Rob | March 25, 2007
Whoever said being a photographer wasn’t a dangerous job? With all the traveling I do as a photographer…I increase my chances of “running” into idiot drivers!
I T-Boned him going 50 MPH…launched over the median strip….did a 180 degree…100 foot mid air flight and landed in a ditch that was about 200 feet from the collision point! It was one of the craziest things I’ve ever experienced! Well one of the top 3 anyway…I can’t make up my mind between the near death freak staph infection in my sinuses….or rolling off a cliff in the mountains in my buddy’s Jeep and now this high speed collision!
Of course I jumped out of my truck…still in shock…I grabbed my camera and started shooting pictures! I’m going to submit these pictures…and try to promote my business! lol
Both the other driver and myself are fine.
Thought I’d share…

Honesty should go both ways!!
By Rob | February 21, 2007
Talk to your prospective photographer! Be honest with them!
If you really love the work of a particular photographer but find out that they are a bit over your budget…talk to them! Tell them your situation. I’d rather have someone try to work something out with me…as apposed to never calling me back after I send over the price list…and have them settle with another photographer because of price! Would you rather settle with a photographer or work something out with the photographer that you really want! Most photographers have set prices and packages. This is intended to help the b&g see exactly what they are getting with each package and if this works with their budget. If you have to shave off an hour or two of the coverage or downgrade one an album….do it!!! Don’t settle…cut cost in other areas! I know The Knot is telling you to spend a certain percentage of your money to flowers….your dress….your photography…but your pictures are one of the few things that will help you remember your wedding day!
For instance a b&g really wanted me to shoot their wedding…they were on a strict budget though. When we talked, we got along great…and would have had a blast working together. They ended up going with the other guy…because his up front costs were cheaper. Then after the wedding the b&g found out that the prints were 3 times as much as mine!!!! So they ended up not getting their 1st choice….and ended up spending more money then they would have if they went with me!!
I could have rearranged and customized a package for them…no worries! I’m willing to shoot a wedding…minus the cost of an album…then after the wedding…have the b&g purchase an album. There are so many ways to do it. But they weren’t totally honest with me.
So I can’t stress enough…talk to your prospective photographer!

A smile….a tear….a hug….
By Rob | January 19, 2007
As a wedding photographer I may take well over 700 pictures throughout a wedding day. I’m there from start to finish…from when the bride is getting ready…to heading to the church…to the ceremony…and then to the “big party.” I like to observe the interactions between people and capture those unique moments. So many emotions and true feelings come out at these celebrations and that allows me to capture some of my favorite pictures! A smile….a tear….a hug….
