Andrea – 2011 : Elkins WV Senior Photographer

We had a great time photographing Andrea’s senior pictures last night. Since we’re thinking about letting Melanie handle the Seniors and me do the weddings, I brought Melanie along. Melanie did most of the poses, and she did a great job!


Andrea has volunteered to be our Elkins High School Senior Rep – so keep an eye our for her Rep cards.  They will have some great deals on them.

Hopefully we didn’t get on Andrea’s nerves too much.  The light out last night was perfect and so we wanted to shoot while we still had it.

Look at that smile! Could Mom be any prouder or what???

We went off trail for this one.  I brought my softbox out and we got some great shots.  It was almost dark enough that I needed a couple of more lights, but I think we pulled off what we wanted really well.

I love back-lit shots and I’m especially partial to the one below:)  I love the bokeh off the rocks and river that we got here.

Andrea was all smiles.  I can’t thank her enough for being sooooo patient with us!

One last picture before I wrap things up.   I think I got poison ivy getting the shot below, but all in all it was worth it:)

Ok, I lied. One more:)

I look forward to doing some more sessions with Andrea – especially the fall session.  So there you have it.  Seniors – I still have spaces available.  If you are looking for Senior pictures, drop me an email and we will connect!

Sarah and Phil – Married : Sneak Peek : Elkins WV Wedding Photographer and Photography

Ok, a little late on this one, but better late than never. Any ways, on with the show: CONGRATS to you both, Sarah and Phil. You two are truly an awesome couple. I enjoyed every minute of your wedding. You have beautiful families and I have no doubt that they were proud of you both on this day.

I wasn’t sure what to expect.  A high chance of rain.  Indoor pictures always look great, but I think outdoor pictures are super fantastic.  It rained – but that didn’t keep us from having some fun.  We started the day getting ready at Designs.  Does Sarah’s hair look great or what?

I love the bouquet, but then again, I’m partial to white flowers:)

It rained, but we were able to sneak out to get some quick shots.  The grass was pretty wet and I didn’t want to worry about getting Sarah’s dress too stained.  Her bridesmaids were real troopers.

An old building outback made a good backdrop for the gals.

We thought it was funny how the dresses almost matched the trash can – so we decided to do a fun shot of the gals.  I’m not sure who came up with the James Bond theme, but I like it.

Talk about a happy groom! Phil was smiles all day long – and I think he had every right to be.  Sarah was glowing.

Hurried back inside before the rain started again and finished the groomsmen’s pictures.  They had all kind of fun.

Sarah and Phil : Aren’t they beautiful?

A semi-ring shot to end things.

That’s it for now.  Sarah and Phil – Best of luck… If you ever need anything, please let us know!  We had a great time being part of your family for one day.

Some Misc Things : Elkins WV Wedding Photographer

First off Brides : I’m a little behind on wedding blogging! I’ll start on those tonight… SORRY!

Some other misc things we’ve been doing….

Happy Birthday W!

It’s been a busy spring / early summer and I really feel blessed to be soooo busy. It’s been a struggle keeping orders on time and still finding time to spend with our new little one – Gabrielle, but we are doing it.
So what have we been up to? Lots of good things.

First off: Mr. “W” turns three! We’ve had the honor of watching this guy grow up (we shot his birthday last year too) – and all I can say is wow – ladies had better watch out… He’s a cutie.

We always have a great time with his family. Deanna and Steve are sooo nice… I wish they lived closer!

A bag full of Candy makes for a happy day:

Stick and Dirt. I don’t know if it gets any better than that…

It rained last year and it rained this year too. I was so glad to see the weather break so that the kids could play.

Dawn and Adam – Sneak Peek : Elkins WV Wedding Photographer : iDempsey Photography

I’m taking a break from the rain to post some quick pictures from Dawn and Adam’s engagement session.  I was a little scared when Melanie told me I was going to be shooting inside of a cave…. I’ve shot some dim churches before, but never in complete darkness.   The session turned out to be a blast!

They were such a great couple and you could tell that they were really happy together…  I’m pretty stoked about maybe shooting their wedding.

Thankfully, there were no bears. A few bats, but no bears:)

The dark cave made for an excellent backdrop for B&W photos…

That’s it for now. Dawn and Adam, it was a please meeting with you and thanks for letting us be a part of your engagement session. One more:
