Jessie contacted me after seeing Joanna and Ryan’s Greenville Country Club wedding! We had so much to talk about because of similar interests……photography, travel and Old Bay covered blue crabs!!!! She had the longest first email I had ever received and prolly one of the coolest!
Here is what she said, “
Rob,
I have been looking at your website eagerly for almost a year now. In helping other friends with their weddings, I started looking- and since I’m a photographer myself (but I don’t do weddings) I always like to see what others are up to. You work is breath-taking. When I got together with Joanna after her wedding and found out you shot her wedding, I was thrilled with your work! She showed me the slide shows you put together of their engagement session and the wedding, and I’m sold. I keep looking at other photographers, but can’t seem to enjoy their work as much as yours.
Even though we don’t have things as set as maybe we should to start to connect with a photographer, I’ve been anxiously waiting to get in touch with you.
I was especially sold when I saw how natural Ryan was in the photos – I know that he can clam up in front of the camera, and my fiance is even worse, so I know that you will be able to make his funny-side come out!
I just wanted to introduce myself and hopefully be able to start planning, so I don’t miss out on the chance to have the photographer I want at our wedding. As a photographer, though, this is the one thing in our wedding that I insist on not skimping on. It is only one day, and the photography is the only element that lasts- I want it to be not only excellent, but an experience in and of itself.

Well, I finally met Jessie and Will for the first time in Bethany Beach for some engagement pictures! It didn’t take long for Will to open up despite his track record…but that is all part of my job! Most of my couples are not professional models, and are unable to easily pop poses and smiles for the camera.
I jokingly said, “Jess jump and Will can catch you!” Well……she jumped!!
Great catch! LOL
This picture below SCREAMS Jess and Will!
I picture them doing this years ago when they met while Jess was shooting pictures of Will body boarding!

Laura is yet another “Knottie” who booked me from TheKnot.com! Anyway, Laura and Ted are planning their Brandywine Country Club wedding from San Francisco California. We met up in Lewes Delaware and drove out onto the beach! I even let Ted drive my truck on the beach for a bit. I wish we had more time…..but I guess it will have to wait until the wedding!
Thanks for hanging out, guys…..and THANK YOU for the amazing chocolates!

There is a first time for everything! One of my buddies (Gubby) from high school asked me to photograph him proposing to his girlfriend on the beach. So, I nervously agreed. This is tough because I didn’t want to ruin the proposal by being seen! We planned, and I scoped out the area in Fenwick Island Delaware. I pretended I was sitting on the beach laying out next to the “doggy dropping bag” station. Everything went smoothly and when Gubby told Mel that I was up near the dunes it was hilarious! It reminded me of when someone finds out they’re on Candid Camera…and Mel turned around with a huge smile….scanning left and right. We then headed over to Fager’s Island in Ocean City Maryland for dinner at sunset. Then, Gubby asked me to be the best man in his wedding!!!! Oh yeah!!! Now I have the responsibility as the best man to find them a wedding photographer!
“There is Rob!”

I met Rob and Melissa a couple times at other events since Rob is a DJ. At Joanna and Ryan’s Greenville Country Club wedding Rob mentioned his recent engagement….so of course, I gave him my business card! Well, about two weeks later I get an email from Melissa and they wanted to meet up and discuss wedding photography. They booked me for their Philadelphia wedding and everything was good to go. Then I get “the call.” Melissa tells me her venue double-booked, and they had to change the date of their wedding!!! We were all pretty bummed out, but, decided to do some engagement pictures anyway! I’m glad we did….because we had a blast! Maybe I’ll shoot their vow renewal in Bora Bora next year???
We started the day at the restaurant where Rob asked Melissa to be his wife!
We sat at the exact table!
We headed down to the subway.
Rob did a little pole dance.
Pictures near the Brooklyn Bridge lower Manhattan New York are always nice.
Man…I love my Canon ST-E2 and Canon 580EX II.
LOLOLOLOL!
Good times!
