Philadelphia Documentary Photographer | #ProjectWeekend - A Look Back
At the beginning of 2017, I started what became known as #ProjectWeekend. The intent was simple -- to take more purposeful photos of my family and friends. Over the past few years I found myself only bringing out "my big camera" for client shoots and never using it to document everyday life -- my everyday life.
This tiny goal seems simple, right? Pick up my camera more often and shoot those who are nearest and dearest to me. Wrong. I failed after about 5 months of solid weekend documenting. Now I could sit here and list the reasons why -- namely wedding season and client work making up most of my weekends May - November -- but I'll save you the excuses.
So the point of this post is to share a few of my favorite #ProjectWeekend moments from 2017 and to put in writing a new goal for 2018. #ProjectWeekend will be back, but this time in a monthly format. My hope is that by setting a more realistic goal (if I can't document at least 1 weekend a month then that's just pathetic!) I can live in the moment, document personal milestones, and still ensure my client work remains a top priority.
Keep on scrolling for my favorites of 2017. Cheers to a happy and healthy 2018!
Philadelphia Lifestyle Photographer | The Coppolinos
These guys have trusted me with their family photos year after year. And each year it just keeps getting better and better. More laughs and more love. Coppolinos...I'm not sure what else to say other than...you guys are truly the best!
Philadelphia Wedding Photographer | Selena & Mike at White Chimneys
No matter what I write here, it will never adequately sum up how incredible Selena and Mike are. Surround by family, friends, and their fur babies (Chloe, Danny, and Teddy), Selena and Mike said I do at the beautiful White Chimneys venue in Lancaster, PA. A thunderstorm decided to roll in 5 minutes before their ceremony, but you would have never known by the permanent smiles on their faces. Wishing these guys a lifetime of happiness!
Philadelphia Wedding Photographer | Sarah & RJ an Intimate Wedding at the Lokal Hotel + City Hall
Sarah and RJ had me at their love of craft beer, a low-key ceremony, and their love for the City of Brotherly Love. A HUGE thank you to Ashley of Scotch Studio Photography for letting me tag along and document all of the love on this day.
