congrats, mr. and mrs. mason

once more, time flew by so fast, that if it WERE NOT FOR PHOTOS, i would never know what has happened in my life   ;)
we were privileged to cover several weddings recently, but the highlight was surely this past weekend, with the "i do's" of georgia and walker!  i remember photographing walker in kindergarten! where did the years go? this sweetest of sweet couples were high school sweethearts, and are now a lovely, married couple with all the best to come. we have m a n y hundreds of images to go through, so i will simply post this last one for now, of georgia being carried over the threshold. i told you it was sweet!

welcome 2013!



welcome, 2013! january has flown by!  luckily, our sweet clients kept us occupied, so that we didn't have time to notice that winter skipped us this year. headshots seemed to be the most requested session last month. here's a little sampling of our january♥

All work...but some play!




Just thought I'd share a moment from a great wedding we shot earlier this year, to show that even though we are 100% serious about our work...we definitely know when we need to play, too! 
This couple had a photo booth set up in the lobby of their reception, with tons of great props. 
You can rent these booths from one of our colleagues, a tremendous photographer, himself; see
http://www.photoboothtogo.com/   (to rent the photo booth, that is!!)

Every wedding we shoot has its own flavor, and we appreciate each and every one of them!
Looking forward to this week-end's special day, for Carl and Jody. Be sure to check back next week to see some of their favorite shots.    


About Vicki

Vicki Palombo was born into a creative family, musically, theatrically and artistically, (you may have heard of her cousin, Leonard Bernstein), in Cleveland, Ohio. From the moment she clicked her first camera, a dime store Kodak 110, Vicki has thrived at the helm of the shutter. Very few people will recognize her without a camera or two in hand. From the white snow of Buffalo, to the white caps of San Francisco Bay, Vicki has resided in many beautiful cities. Over the past 20 years, she has taught piano, owned a ceramics business, and was a schoolteacher, all the while never letting the camera strap slip away. Vicki sees the beauty and humor in every subject and captures it through her lens.

About Michael

Michael Elliott's enthusiasm for nature is reflected in his images. He has long appreciated classic automobiles and regularly attends car shows. Michael is a 27 year veteran of the U.S. Army. He specializes in photographing models, but has an equal passion for weddings and other family occasions. Also a native from Cleveland,Ohio,
Michael shares a unique point of view with his partner, Vicki, graduating high school the same year. Fate had them meet in Florida in 2006. Together, they will give you photographic memories of a lifetime!

Phoenix Rising

Our gratitude for the gift of life is always at the heart of our work. Like the Phoenix rising from the ashes, we started over from a tragic fire that took our home, our pets and photography studio on January 5, 2009. We know how fragile life is and how precious our moments with loved ones are. We'll help you capture yours, to be appreciated for many decades to come.
