American Star Ball

Today I am posting more ballroom dance photos from the American Star Ball held in Atlantic City, NJ. This year’s event will be May 17 – 19, 2013 at the Golden Nugget. We are planning to be there again this year!

Additionally, to looking to see some awesome dancing, we are excited to be working with the organizers. Since we have been photographing these competitions for a while, we have interacted a few times with Amanda and Ilya Reyzin. When they attend competitions, they are always popular personalities.

Even though they are champions of the highest level, they impress their students with their passion for dance. In addition, they are popular judges due to their reputation and artistic prowess on the floor. Now, they are the organizers of this competition. When this was announced last year, they asked if we were interested in continuing the partnership as photography vendors. Of course, we were humbled by the request. Being that they are recent competitors, and plugged into the community, I am sure they have a lot of ideas for updating the competition. We look forward to seeing the updates. Let us know if you plan to be there too!

UPenn Classic – postponed

Virginia Snow photos - www.timelinedc.com

All geared up and nowhere to go! I’m starting to feel like a bad luck charm. It was 2011, and we were preparing to go to the UPenn Clover Star Classic in Philadelphia, PA, the former name for this competition. Just like two years ago, the car was packed, the cameras were clean, but a looming snow storm postponed that event too! We still hope to cover this event if we are available at the makeup date. We hope friends, family, and everyone in the northeast stays safe and warm through the upcoming storm.

Being that we had our event cancelled due to snow, here are some appropriate images. We get snow here occasionally. Immediately after the snow falls is my favorite time to make photos. In light of the short time where the snow clings to tree limbs and bark you can create some fleeting images.

Below is an image made on actual film. This is a Kodak slide film exposure that was scanned to create a digital image. At this time, I no longer shoot film. The convenience and immediacy of digital is hard to give up.

Again, we hope to make it to the UPenn Classic soon!

Wedding photos – Ruth & Don – part 2

After the ceremony, is where the photographer is front and center. There are the must-have formal photos that need to be taken. With all the family gathered at one place, it is an important milestone in two family’s history. These are the wedding photos that are on the top of the list when asked what the first thing will be salvaged in a fire! At no other time will all these people be assembled at the same time to celebrate a new marriage. For this wedding, I took as many separate groups as I could – from both families together, to just siblings, to immediate families only, to the entire extended family together in one photo.

Bridal Walk – Wedding Photos

When the formals are complete, I can relax a little. The next part is my FAVORITE during a wedding day – a bridal walk with the bride and groom where I can get time alone with them without any other distractions. Lots of brides and grooms like the little break before the reception to recharge. Some of my best images from a wedding can be crafted during these mini sessions. Ruth and Don were very brave going out in the cold to get some photos at a beautiful church in downtown Hershey, PA. This had a beautifully lit cross that I could place in the background – got lucky again!

The bright red doors gave a nice background to the still-hanging Christmas decorations:

Being in Hershey, PA, you can’t get out of town without getting a photo of a kiss underneath a lightpost “Kiss” in the shape of the famous chocolates:

The light was just perfect for photos – a little overcast, and the slight breeze kept the veil out of the way. The passing traffic honked their horns to the bride and groom! Both of them took it in stride – sharing the day with their motorized well-wishers.
