Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks 2009 in New York City

prem — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 03:56:44 +0000

Before leaving New York, we had the pleasure of getting to watch one of the most impressive displays of fireworks in the whole world. Our friends Jeff and Angela have an apartment in the city and we were able to watch the fireworks from the rooftop which is at around 40 stories. This year the fireworks were on the Hudson River side in honor of the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson.
We watched the impressive show and then I took a few more pics from the roof showing some city scenes:

Destination Wedding in New York City with Russ and Delicia

prem — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 03:06:04 +0000

This weekend has been a bit of an adventure to say the least. Cheridy and I only do destination wedding photography on a rare occasion and this happened to be it. Russ and Delicia had an awesome wedding in New York. We left on Thursday morning and due to weather and seemingly endless other issues, our flight was rerouted to Pittsburgh for refueling at which point they told us that we could either get off the plane or go back to Detroit because we weren’t going to be able to fly to New York that day. With the wedding the next day, we had to get there ASAP so we got off the plane. Northwest airlines wouldn’t allow us to get our luggage off the plane so not only did we have to rent a car and drive from Pittsburgh to Manhattan, but we also had to buy all new clothes. We had decided that since it was only a 1.5 hour flight, this would be a good trip to bring Mayz along with Cheridy’s sister Amber who was going to help watch Mayz while we worked. However, the 1.5 hour flight ended up being a 17 hour ordeal and thankfully Mayz is a ridiculously good kid who put up without much fuss. Unfortunately that ordeal took away the only day that we had to go around and see the city.
We were just thankful to get there with plenty of time before the wedding.
The wedding turned out amazing and the weather couldn’t have been more perfect for Russ and Delicia. We shot the wedding on Friday and then went around the city with them on Saturday for a photo shoot.
Here’s just a few pics:

This is the club where they first met:

Fireworks at the Maskills

prem — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 20:57:37 +0000

Saturday was the big annual party at the Maskill house (Cheridy’s parents). One of the highlights is that her dad throws a huge fireworks show on the island in the lake behind their house. The whole neighborhood seems to throw parties on the same day now so they can all enjoy the show. It was definitely not a let down…one huge explosion after another!!

Engagement Photos in Rochester, MI with Dan and Young

prem — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 01:22:58 +0000

This afternoon we spent part of this beautiful day with Dan and Young doing their engagement photos. We had a great time and a lot of laughs as we walked around doing their pics.
Here’s a few favorites from today:

Plymouth Christian Academy Senior Pictures for Jordan

prem — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 02:17:54 +0000

Today was a crazy day. We had high school senior photo shoots for two guys who are friends. It was ridiculously hot…around 93 degrees with a heat advisory but due to their crazy sports schedules, rescheduling was not an option.
We started out with Jordan who’s a serious guy. We always love serious faces because they show off people’s eyes so Jordan had no problem with those.

Don’t worry Patti…we got Jordan to smile for a few also!!

Salem High School Senior Photos for Steve

prem — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 02:11:27 +0000

The second photo shoot of the day was for Steve. It seemed like it got even hotter outside for Steve’s photos but maybe that’s because there was less shade to hide behind. Either way, we were able to capture some really cool and unique high school senior pics for Steve.

Troy High School Senior Photos with Amber

prem — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 23:18:22 +0000

This afternoon we spent an hour and half with Amber in the scorching heat to do her senior pics. We started at Woodside Bible Church where Amber goes and then ended in downtown Rochester. When we got in the car it said 95 degrees…yikes! However, Amber did an awesome job and everything turned out fantastic. This was one of those shoots where it was nearly impossible to choose just a few for the blog.

Rochester, MI Engagement Photos with Bryon and Caitlin

This afternoon we had a great time hanging out with Bryon and Caitlin. We’ve had a bit of a bad streak getting kicked out of places while doing photos…it happened again today, luckily we had some backup options! The good thing is that we had fun and got some cool pics along the way!!
Here’s a few:
