I love making albums in general and love it when my bride & grooms choose to make a guest book for people to sign at their wedding. The book I’m showing here is an 8×8 leather book with 10 spreads. You can see all of the spreads by clicking here.
Plenty of white space for your guests to sign…
I thought I would share a little bit about myself here on my blog. My wife and I have 5 kids ranging from 14 down to 11 months. We have 4 boys and one daughter. We absolutely LOVE having a big family, I guess we would say “it just works for us”. We are continually saying that we couldn’t imagine our lives any other way! Don’t get me wrong, there are those moments when our house is very crazy and a little out of control but always in a fun way. 
One thing we love to do as a family is vacation together. Trish and I have always put vacationing on the top of our priority list. The past couple of years we’ve been looking for places to vacation as a family and last year we found a place that we could see returning to each year…Myrtle Beach, SC is an amazing place to be with your family! The resort we stayed in was right on the beach and had an amazing pool, which we all loved! We are currently looking for some new vacation ideas for our family in the upcoming years. We would love to hear about some new spots so feel free to leave a comment below with any suggestions 
A couple portraits from our Myrtle Beach trip last year…
Our 3 year old decided that he would like to run instead of walk along the beach. Totally not scripted… I was loving it!
From oldest to youngest…
Once again our 3 year old had something different in mind.
Our youngest who looks completely different now because he has hair and teeth…

Thanks Ro… He is a hand full! He gets SO excited when the older three get home from school and is usually our evening entertainment.
Carey… thanks for the recommendation. We would love to try the Outer Banks sometime. Thanks for the link, it sounds awesome!
Great pics Mike! Our recommendation: We absolutely LOVE the Outer Banks of North Carolina.. gorgeous houses right on the beach…. as in your own walkway… so if they kids have to run up for something.. you can stay right there on the beach… we always get one with our own pool, too. We’ve been going for about 11 years now and it’s hard to miss a year.. but we would like to try other places… so this year we are looking for something different, too. Lots to do, too.If you go late May or in September the rates drop drastically. Try Village Realty.com
i didn’t realize you had so many kids! these are great ! i absolutely love the second one!! that 3 year old looks like a pistol haha! and the wedding blogged below is goregeous as well
This post is very long over due. To all of you who follow my work here on my blog, thanks for your patience. My busy shooting season is right around the corner and I can’t wait! Now on to Danielle & Jimmy’s wedding which I really had a great time shooting. Danielle & Jimmy are the type of people that you just love to be around, their contagious smiles and warm personalities make them so fun to be with. Their reception was held at Cescaphe Ballroom in Philadelphia, one of my favorite places to shoot. My beautiful wife shot this one with me and a bunch of her photos are in the mix.
Check back often this week as I will be posting my top 5 favorite locations I shot at in 2009!

These are so precious!
Shannon and Aaron were so brave on their wedding day, no they did not ski down a black diamond hill, or go ice-fishing, but it was sure close! …they withstood the FREEZING temperatures to take pictures OUTDOORS in 15 degree weather (if that). I want to thank my ever fabulous and amazing second shooter, Trish Landis (who just happens to be my wife). Her images are sprinkled throughout the post. Thanks Shannon and Aaron for trusting us to be a part of your day!
Shannon’s dad seeing her for the first time…
Shannon and Aaron chose to do a first look before their ceremony. I just love when my brides and grooms choose this, it is such an emotional moment that they get to share with one another.
