Leroy + Carla

This post, the next one, and the previous one are a little late, but because they weren’t my weddings I put them on the backburner to focus on my clients for the year. Now that “off-season” has hit I can focus a little more on sharing some work from the past year that didn’t get out there.

I am a pretty blessed photographer – not only do I have the support of a great circle of photographers in Lancaster, I am blessed with the opportunity to second shoot and be mentored by a friend and photographer in the Northern New Jersey and New York City area – Andres Valenzuela. (http://www.andresvalenzuela.com). He and his wife, Kim, (and their beautiful daughter Anna-Sofia) have become great friends of ours over the years and I am always excited about second shooting with Andres. I’m always challenged and inspired by his work and am always amazed how amazing all of his clients are that I’ve gotten to work with.

Leroy + Carla were a blast to work with. I think what I really enjoyed about Leroy and his wedding party was simply how much they all loved one another as friends and as family. Leroy was so excited about his wedding day (so was Carla, but I spent most of the day with Leroy so I’ll focus on him). Everyone’s attitude was so phenomenal throughout the day – great spirits, joyful, excited to be a part of an important day for two people they love. It was a great day to be a part of. We got to take photos at a park overlooking Manhattan and the reception was at The Newark Club in downtown Newark. It was pretty much the best view for a reception I’ve ever seen.

I hope you guys enjoy this wedding as much as I did. Here are some of my favorites.
