I took the DP Lumi 1x3 out on one of my lower budget shoots to add some professional light quality without adding a lot of work on my end.

Reaching Roots had the pleasure of going to Saint John in the US Virgin Island to shoot the first wedding of our season. Genvieve and Ray did destination right with a beautiful ceremony at Sussanaburg Ruins and a reception at the Rhume Line with entertainment from the Wheeland Brothers. So come away with us to a land where it is always around 75 and the hitch hiking is easy.

Genvieve and Raymond were married in Saint John US Virgin Island on April 6, 2018. They had 70 guests fly in for their wedding at Susannaburg Ruins followed ...

At long last we have a website back up and running. Thank you for sticking with us while I focused more on getting current clients their work and less on the website issue. We now have a functioning site for you to visit, send friends to, and to send clients to. www.reachingrootsstudios.com is here for you!

For those that have been waiting on me for edits or DVDs or even just to hang out: I finally got diagnosed for the ailment that slowed me down last month and the verdict is Lyme Disease. I'm on the meds and should be right as rain shortly. Thank you for your patience during this unfortunate slow down.

This couple brings a lot of joy to my heart. I loved working on their wedding and Alyse has been such a supporter of RRS for years. I wish them a lifetime of happiness. https://vimeo.com/173783709

This wedding was a long time coming. I've been talking to Alyse about doing her wedding for a couple of years now. It was an absolutely beautiful day and the…

Another great day out in the field last weekend. We actually finished this recap in a couple of days knowing that the holiday crush season is upon us. The most memorable aspect of this day to me was how wide open the ceremony was! When that happens the crew can creep around the edges and not be a focal point. https://vimeo.com/148138281

"Oh, you shoot weddings for a living! That must be fun. Do you ever get tired of them?" That's the sequence of statements and questions we in the business hear whenever we meet a new person. The answer is "no." The wedding I am shooting is always different from the last and here's the deal: 99.9% of the time you are with a huge group of family and friends on one of the best days of their life. That energy tends to rub off.

Last week on my birthday I was working up at Full Moon Resort in Big Indian, NY where I have been a dozen or so times. They built a new bridge that worked so very nicely for the first look, held the ceremony in a room that I've only shot after parties in, and the couple were just fantastic to work with. Sylvester Zawadzki of INNY Weddings brought a critical eye and was a breeze to shoot side by side with. Here is what all of that ads up to: https://vimeo.com/147278023

A big thank you to the staff at Full Moon Resort and to Sylvester Zawadzki the photographer. He was an inspiration and a pleasure to work with as is often the case…
