Hoping 2012 is even better! ;o) Happy 2012!!

Hurricane Irene might have dampened the ground, but it didn’t rain on Heather and Chris’s parade. Minus some event changes, like moving the outdoor wedding reception indoors, the party went on without a hitch. And as luck would have it, it ended up being such a beautiful day!
Congratulations!!

These pictures are mesmerizing…love the story they tell. One word “WOW.” Amazing photography, editing, perspective, color and composition. Kudos!
Wonderful photos! Simply amazing! Thank you so much!

Alright, so I might be a bit biased, since this is my “baby” brother’s (ignore the fact that he’s taller than me) band and all…but they are pretty kick-ass and seeing that they have over 600 facebook fans, I’m obviously not the only one who thinks so. Shotgun No Blitz is a pop punk band and if you got a minute, you should download their FREE EP (warning: there are some explicit lyrics). Seriously. Check ‘em out.

The weekend Hurricane Irene hit the East Coast, I had not one, but TWO weddings. Wouldn’t you know, it ended up being such a beautiful weekend. Well, minus some knocked down trees and branches.
I actually met the groom,Nick, YEARS ago. Long, long ago we used to work together at a lil’ place called HersheyPark. For those of you that aren’t from around these parts, it’s an amusement park based off of Hershey’s Chocolate. Seriously. In our college years, Nick was one of my besties. But then life got in the way and we kind of lost track of each other. During that time, he met the gorgeous Jessica. And they really are perfect for each other. He’s such a jokester and she loves to laugh, you can’t get any better than that.![]()
To be fair, I always have a great time while photographing my weddings, but this by far has been one of the best. Everyone truly had a great time and to see Jessica and Nick interact with each other…you can tell they really do love each other. I hope the photos do them justice.

Very nice! I like the last one, that’s neat!
Absolutely beautiful! Great job Mariko!
It was a super hot day in chocolate town, with NKOTB & BSB concert traffic starting to flow through Hershey. But Syndi and Ryan are troopers and bared with me as we did a quickie shoot today. Syndi is due in less than two weeks and looks A.MAZ.ING!! She’s a certified Zumba instructor and was leading classes up until recently. Her and Ryan also went to said concert that night…at nine months preggers! She really does put all of us to shame! ha. A few teasers…
