I am shooting Sam & Dan’s wedding in PA October 2015. They needed save the date photos. Dan ios a photographer too and I was trying to think of something novel.

Early November I went apple-picking with my family at Och’s Orchards in Warwick, NY. In the past we had gone to Masker’s Orchard down the road. I don’t like that place. To my delight I loved Och’s and will be there every year henceforth!

While there, I got to thinking how it’s make a cool venue for a shoot so I took some iPhone HDR photos and sent them to Dan. He liked the idea and trusted in my vision so we met there on 15-Nov-2015. Sadly, apples were pretty much cleaned out but we were able to come up with a dozen or so.

Sam and Dan brought a cool save the date sign which we decorated with autumnal foliage. A ladybug stopped in for a cameo during a ring photo and Dan carved a heart into an apple!

Ultimately, we all had fun –that is the key to a successful engagement, or family portrait session. Make it fun and let people have fun. How about them apples?

Best,

Thomas
