These two sisters had so much fun on their photo session at the Enchanted Woods. It is not too late to schedule a family shoot while the fall colors last!

10.10.08    Joanna and Jovany

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

The Couple: Jovany and Joanna Blasini
Getting Ready: Wingate Inn, Voorhees, NJ
The Ceremony: St. Joan of Arc-Marlton, NJ
The Reception: Venetian Room, Lucians’s Manor, Berlin, NJ (bride and friends decorated themselves, very nice!)
What I remember most about the couple: They trusted us so much, they knew they were in good hands. That trust enabled us to do our very best and played a big part in Jovany and Joanna having a great day and knowing the photographs were going to be just what they hoped for. Family and friends treated us like we were family! It was a real pleasure spending the entire day with everyone. And… It was also a special day for lots of Philly fans-the Phillies had won the National League Title as the party was entering the reception. I also want to thank Vince for this cherished referral he was one of Jovany’s best man. We did Vince and Allison’s wedding in October of 2005. The ring Bearer, Vince’s little boy “little vince” was great! Jovany and Joanna you are an amazing couple! I wish you all the love and happiness in the world!
The Honeymoon: They will be vacationing in Aruba! Have fun, relax and enjoy!

Enjoying a day in NY! – PhotoPlus Expo 2008

Friday, October 24th, 2008

Just a fun shot of my wife and I in front of some old metal garage door. We had a great time visiting the PhotoPlusExpo, lots of new photo products that we looked over and several close friends we meet up with. We feel it is always important to keep current and to stay on top of our game, the Expo being just one of several events we attend throughout the year.

Watching Amy’s belly grow!

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

It seems like there is a baby boom!  This Winter/Spring there are going to be a lot of new mkPhoto kids!  We have been doing a ton of belly shoots lately, so keep checking back for us to post them over the next few weeks.

When Amy told us she was pregnant in August we were so excited to hear early on!  Since this is her first, Amy wanted to document her experience of starting a family.  Most of the time we find out right before a baby is born, but with Amy, she’ll be visiting us a few times before February so we can watch her belly (and “the bean”) get bigger!

Enjoy the first pictures and follow along with us in her journey!

Look what infrared looks like on a dramatic fall day!

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

Jana and I snapped a few infrared shots after and engagement shoot at Winterthur. Look at the clouds and how dramatic the scene is with the magic of infrared! This is not a photoshop action, nothing was done in post with the exception of some level/contrast adjustments.

10.04.08    Danielle & Mike

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

Mike and Danielle’s wedding was an absolute pleasure to photograph. Everyone was having so much fun all day. We started at Danielle’s home with getting ready photos. Mike hid cards and presents all around the house and guided Danielle on a walkie talkie to find them. It had to be one of the most romantic wedding day ideas I have ever seen.
The ceremony was held at St. Michael’s Church in Minotola, NJ. The couple exited the church and took a carriage ride for a few alone moments. We took all photos in the little park next to the church, the light was beautiful and we all agreed that the change of plans for a portrait location was a good idea.
The reception was held at Merighi’s Savoy Inn in Vineland. It included the greatest bridal party dance, a change of attire for the grooms men – from tuxes to shirts and board shorts, and the bride’s favorite chicken dance.

It was a pleasure working with you and your friends and family. I hope that you are enjoying Maui. Congratulations!

Jana & Kim

10.04.08    Robin and Scott

Monday, October 20th, 2008

The Couple: Robin and Scott McCann
The first look: Along a beautiful tree lined path at Winterthur
Where they were married: Winterthur County Estate , Winterthur, DE
The ceremony: In the magnificent and natural garden setting located next to the reflecting pool at Winterthur
Party Time: Winterthur Visitors Center
What I remember most about Robin and Scott: They way they look at each other and how they care about each other. It was so easy to follow them around Winterthur, stopping and getting great romantic shots of them being together, laughing, kissing and just having fun on their wedding day. The weather was just perfect! It was a great decision that they made to see each other before the ceremony. We had so much time to be creative and it also gave us the opportunity to take advantage of the great estate and the stunning gardens at Winterthur. Best wishes to the both of you! And a special thanks to the families for making us feel like we were a part of your family on the wedding day.
Joan and Nicole Thank You!! It is always a pleasure working with you at Winterthur!
