D'Angelo Photography Studio Recommends....

Welcome! If you followed a link, and now you're here and not seeing what you expected, then perhaps you were looking for the D'Angelo Photography Studio website.

Over the years I have encountered a number of other great service providers - from florists and DJ's, to chocolate makers, ministers and videographers. Since I know that you may have need for some of their services, too - here's some listings and links to various service providers and other great places.

Most of these folks have no idea that I provide this resource here, and none of these are paid advertisements - just simply people and companies that I have encountered, thought they did nice work, and am passing that information on as a service to my clients and customers. Enjoy!

Melissa

I always enjoy it when I get the chance to work with people more than once; in this case it was Melissa's turn to be in front of the camera for her senior portraits! A few years ago I had the privilege to photograph her older sister Jenny for her high school senior portraits. On this session we got the chance to shoot some images in a few new locations that I had scoped out earlier this year.

Andrew & Amber

Saturday the 12th of July was the wedding of Amber Winter & Andrew Hagen, held at Holy Rosary church in Lima, just a bit outside of Durand. The day started out a bit overcast and windy, then turned bright and sunny, with even more wind! Holy Rosary Catholic Church is at very scenic location, and the church is set on a hill, which makes it even more picturesque. I sure got my cardio workout, though! I had to cart my equipment up the hill, got to an elevator that I couldn't get to work - so I got to cart my gear back outside and around the church and up more hill, then lug the cases up a flight of stairs! Once inside, the church is very grand, with a long walk up to the alter area - so I spent quite a bit of time going back and forth - but it was all worth it, for we got some great images of Andrew & Ambers wedding!

Make sure you visit the online viewing area at www.photographer4u.com to see all the images from their wedding!

Nichelle

Yes, that is correct, no spelling mistake. Nichelle - as in Vulcan hand greetings, and the inability to win at thumb wrestling. No, no - you didn't miss that episode.
THIS Nichelle is from Colfax, the world-famous halfway point to the equator, and soon to be starting her senior year! We had a great time making some great portraits with Nichelle! Thanks for coming to my studio, Nichelle - and Live Long and Prosper!

Bryan & Tina

Bryan & Tina are two of the nicest people I have ever met - friendly, outgoing, and enthusiastic! When you're in the room with them, you can just feel how much they love and care for each other. Bryan & Tina started their wedding day by coming to my studio for some formal bridal portraits, then we all went to the Creamery in Downsville for their wedding & reception. If you've never been to the Creamery, I highly recommend it! Beautiful place, first-class service and great food! Check them out at www.creameryrestaurant-inn.com Bryan & Tina had a nice, relaxed and classy wedding day - congratulations to Bryan & Tina!

Keith & Amanda

Ever wander around the back country roads, following a twist here, a turn there, a gravel road that disappears into the woods and suddenly opens onto a beautiful, scenic lake? That place is where Keith & Amanda exchanged their wedding vows on June 9th, 2007.

If I had to describe Keith & Amanda's relationship, I could do so with one word - Holy. Let me define that for those of you who may not follow; to be holy is to be set apart, reserved for something special. Keith & Amanda were specifically set apart and reserved for each other.

Two things about their wedding really impressed me - one, they had reserved themselves for this moment, going so far as to not even kiss for the last seven months before their wedding - and two, instead of lighting a unity candle during their ceremony, they performed a foot-washing ceremony for each other. A powerful symbol of servanthood to each other, of putting the needs of the other ahead of their own. This is a lesson we all need to learn.

Congratulations to Keith & Amanda!

Here I've posted a preview of things to come. You can click on this preview and it will get larger for a better view! Visit the online viewing section of my website on Monday, June 25th to see all the photographs online!

Megan & Chris

Saturday May 19th was the wedding of Chris Schooley & Megan Tauer! Chris & Megan got married at the St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Lake St. Croix Beach, MN. The architecture of this church is very southwest - white stucco, big archways, large beamed doors. I felt if I closed my eyes and let the hot wind blow on my face, I should hear the "ching, ching, ching" of spurs and galloping horses from some old western movie! Neat place.

As a professional photographer with more than 20 years of experience, I've been to alot of weddings, which means I've seen alot of couples get married, and sometimes you get a vibe about couples - you can see and sense when they click, you know when they got it right - Megan & Chris got it right. And they've got some great friends and family to back them up. Megan & Chris - congratulations!

Here I've posted a little something for you to enjoy, a bit of a preview of things to come. Visit the online viewing section of my website on May 31st to see all the photographs online!
