Sus & William

Sus & William’s engagement shoot at The Mountain Playhouse in Jennerstown, Pa was a real treat! Being the location of their wedding as well, I had to try and hold back some of the sweetest spots for formals on the big day. It started to sprinkle halfway through the shoot, but we still managed to get some fantastic shots. Here are a few of my favorites!

Visiting the West Virginia State Penitentiary

So the Former State Pen in Moundsville, WV is apparently a super-ultra haunted place. It was shut down over 15 years ago and the tourism department has opened it up to “guests”. They have an overnight event billed as a ghost hunt on the weekends during the spring and summer. 8pm to 6am, bring your own illumination. Needless to say, I handed over the cash without a second thought.

I went with a friend of mine from college and her husband. It was awesome to reconnect with old friends, and even more so at a sweet place like this. After our tour and pizza (yes, they fed us) I went to work. Many open shutter-flash-light painting shots later (about 5:15am) I called it a night.

I met a lot of cool dudes that evening. I had an amazing time. I got to be in an environment that I haven’t been in for quite some time. I think I nailed these shots. I’m thinking about having an exhibition of them. I’m that pleased.. Here’s one, and the rest will come soon. Enjoy!
