Wedding Photographers in Motion | Ocean City, MD Wedding Photographer, Dana Marie Photography

As wedding and event season is underway for booking I find myself reflecting back on the past season and taking inventory of equipment and help.  It is exciting to report that the only casualties of last season were a couple of pocket wizards, one of which that landed in the bay (oops) and a speed light that shattered on impact with the floor, both of which I had back ups ready to fire on hand.  I picked up a Canon 1DXMarkII last April and it proved to be one workhouse of a beast and even got me through a wedding with no issue that rained from start to finish with the help of a ThinkTank Raincoat.  I did shoot the wedding party standing on the covered porch of the property but that left me standing in the rain and using the right gear everything went very smoothly.

I am blessed to have a couple of amazing people on my team that help make it all happen.  Going through these photos it is fun to see some of the last year's adventures and I love that my hubby has a smile on his face holding an umbrella for me in the wind driven rain of the wedding mentioned above.  Here's to a big 2017, I am excited to work with all of the couples booking and all of the neat venues they have chosen to host their big days!!!

Lifestyle Newborn Studio Sessions, Dana Marie Photography

I am loving these new style newborn shoots done in the studio, they have more of a lifestyle session feel to them.  Since the fall of last year I have transitioned my newborn shoots back to the basics, more classic and timeless.  Focusing on the baby with parents, with mom and with dad, focusing on their features and less on the object they are propped with I am spending more time putting the families in front of my lens.  These sessions have cut my newborn session time from 3 hours to about an hour and a quarter so this gives exhausted parents a shorter trip to the studio and getting baby back home.  With the all inclusive option get access to all of the delivered digital images to be able to print on your own at your leisure.  Add the maternity all inclusive for an even bigger savings.
