As you all know I am trying to come up with something different and unique and I think I have a winner here.  Because our approach is towards the more artistic side instead of taking "pictures" I want to do something that was more artistic for our portraits.  So here’s an engagement image, as the "BEFORE", right out of the camera.  If you click down below you will see the "AFTER" once I did the artwork on the image.  All artwork and retouching done on the image is completely custom at our discretion.  This portrait product is now available, complete with the fine art mat, custom framing which is ready to hang in your home from sizes 16x20 on up.  This is called our "Signature Fine Art Portrait" so inquire more when you come into the studio.  

It was Hot and Steamy, but hey a great day for a wedding.  Traffic was a nightmare getting into the city, making everyone late.  However we worked our magic and got them back on track and off to the Cathedral in time.  This bride and groom were all psyched that day for two reasons, getting married and the party at night. So even with the Limo braking down on the way to the church, this bride kept her cool and we had a lot of fun with these two!  The night was capped off with hearing Morris Day and Time singing Jungle Love at The Penn’s Landing Concert for the 4^th.  As well as a huge fireworks show over the Delaware River after the concert.  Laura's dad could not have planned this any better!  The party commenced at the Hyatt Penn’s Landing with Melissa Medico and staff doing their usual professional job, making sure everyone (include all the event professionals) were well taken care of, and no detail was overlooked at all.  The fantastic centerpieces were created by none other than my dear friend Carl Alan of Carl Alan Designs - I feel the best in the industry!  So here you go, ending June off with a BANG - Laura and Gary!

Our long awaited Customer Handbook is finally released.  Designed by my daughter Amy, a degreed Graphic Designer, this book is complete with breathtaking images, dos and don'ts, ideas for your engagement sessions, your wedding day, EVERYTHING our brides need to know.  Only for our brides who have contracted with GTP, this comprehensive handbook (Printed by Marathon Press) will answer all your questions as we lead up to your big day!  The books will be mailed out this week, so if you don’t get yours within the next week or so, please contact the studio for your exclusive copy.

A very hot and humid day, and a church with no air conditioning would make it very difficult, however we still came through with nice pictures.  It was nice to have a bridal party on time and cooperative.  I hope you enjoy.
