So I love to write about my life experiences, my equipment, photography and equipment. Sometimes i'm going to make horrible speellling misteakes and bad punctuation:;? and grammar. But I will write what I know and never try to speak like I'm an expert. I'm just a guy taking pictures and living life the best I can.
I won’t be canceling any of my weddings or engagement shoots. I am however ready to take on any new business from those who are unable to. A majority of what I do can be at a safe distance. Even my meetings have been switched to Skype & FaceTime. Most current weddings into April have been canceled by venues and those brides and going to be looking for new dates and hopefully i’ll have your date later in the year open.
Read MoreI don’t do bridal shows and I try and stay away from some of the practices of other photographers. If you’re going to make it in this business you can’t do the same exact thing every other photographer does. If we all used the same exact equipment, same “style” aka presets.. then we would be pretty hard to distinguish ourselves from the pack. Here’s some trends that I see and some of how I operate.

Read MoreSoooo before you get mad at me, I didn't do anything wrong. While taking photos a waitress yelled at me and afterwards the bride's daughter (9 years old) was absolutely certain this waitress would kick everyone out and cancel the wedding. Here's the story.
Read MoreGoing to be pretty straightforward in saying that filters can ruin weddings. Look in your phone at the photos from a year for two ago at the filters you were using on your photos, some are pretty cringe-worthy. Some photographers use filters as a crutch or use it because they're lazy. Photographers who de-contrast and play with highlights / adding a yellow filter over a photo are a dime a dozen. The goal should be correct color reproduction and using your skill as a photographer to produce compelling images through composition, knowledge and also being in the right place at the right time.
Read MoreYou're going to have your dream wedding, you've even selected what your wedding photos will look like via Pinterest, various wedding blogs and Google image searches. So you can have all of this but you may have to spend some time doing during your wedding. If you're getting married you'll want to read this. I'm writing this through my own personal experience. My number one goal is to make a bride and groom happy and also being very truthful with what I can offer.

Read MoreSo for this engagement shoot I thought we would shoot somewhere completely different, Green Hill Park in Worcester. I've only recently visited this park, seeing it from afar for my entire life. I was surprised to find it clean, spacious and welcoming. There is a small petting zoo, a Vietnam memorial, ponds, woods and picnic tables. We spent some time walking around and getting used to the process of having ones photo taken. Here's the photos. #engagement #wedding #greenhillpark #worcester #unitymike
