Lancaster Engagement Photography: Cassie + Patrick

Farid — Mon, 20 May 2013 04:46:12 +0000

Sometimes life works in a really funny way, like how you can meet the love of your life through Craigslist. No, really. When Cassie met with Patrick on a first date over some Pabst after she came across his ‘musings’ on Craigslist, she thought he was kinda cute. And the rest is history. Cassie and Patrick really love Pabst. And the outdoors. And their pup Yukon. So for our engagement session in Lancaster we brought out all of that and had some fun in Lancaster County Park. We might even have gotten a little wet too.

Inner Harbor Engagement Session: Trevor + Andrea

Farid — Tue, 07 May 2013 02:43:16 +0000

One of our favorite things about what we do is definitely hearing how our clients met. There are so many really incredible, funny, and amazing stories that we hear over the years and we love it! Trevor and Andrea met over…. Kickball. And Flip Cup. And since they’re awesome like that, we incorporated some of that into our session in Baltimore. We hung out around the Cylburn Arboretum and then head out to the Inner Harbor to finish the day. Here are some of my favorites.. enjoy!

Lancaster Wedding Photography: Kelsey + Seth

Farid — Thu, 02 May 2013 14:46:35 +0000

As I stared into my monitor screen tonight, trying to find the right words to say about this wedding and why it was so special, I couldn’t helped but to be pulled into all kinds of different directions. I guess I could say that Seth & Kelsey’s wedding day couldn’t have had a more beautiful spring weather, but I won’t. I could also say that these are some of the nicest people I’ve met at a wedding, but that would be selling them short. I definitely could say how beautiful and joyful Kelsey looked all day long, and that she’s seriously one of the happiest bride I have ever had the privilege to shoot for, but that’s not even the main thing.

And then I thought about the saying, ‘Life comes full circle’ and I smiled. You see, the reason I even have a camera in my hand in the first place was because Kelsey’s dad, Roger, lent me his Pentax 7 years ago so I could take some self portraits of me and my fiancee back then. The rest, as they say, is history, and to be able to stand here many years later and shoot his daughter’s wedding, well that’s just incredible.

But the number one reason why this is such a special wedding for me has to be because these people are family to me. They have taken us into theirs with open arms and throughout the years I have grown to really love and appreciate the Garbers, all 73 of them. This is why it was my absolute joy and honor to be a part of this very special celebration. Seth & Kelsey, you guys were an absolute delight of a couple to shoot for. And as always, special thanks goes to my good friend Jim Heine for coming down and rocking this wedding with me. Many of his shots are featured in this blog.

Lititz Park Family Portraits: The Boediartos

Farid — Sun, 31 Mar 2013 05:49:54 +0000

A couple of months ago we were driving through Connecticut after I shot a wedding up in Boston. As I saw the sign ‘Danbury’, I told my wife ‘Hey. this is where my cousin lives. We should totally stop by!’ We have not seen them for years – in fact, we have never met his wife Bree, or his daughter Senora. That night we visited their church and had a great talk with each other, wondering why we didn’t seen each other for so long. And plans were made for us to see each other again. That was this past weekend. We did a quick shoot while they were down for our visit.. and below are some of our favorites. The weather didn’t exactly cooperate.. but little Senora was such a trooper and braved the cold! We finished the day at the always yummy Tomato Pie Cafe. Until we see each other again guys!

Tidal Basin Engagement Session: Ashley + Eddie

Farid — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 03:56:55 +0000

Spring is upon us! The days are getting longer! The squirrels come out and play! There’s just something awesome about that first warm weekend of spring after a miserable winter.. so needless to say we really enjoyed our quick trip down to DC to shoot Ashley + Eddie’s engagement session. We started at the Tidal Basin / Jefferson Memorial and walked our way around the National Mall. Ashley and Eddie is probably on the running for my most laid back couple this year.. they’re so easy to work with and we hit it off right away!
Here are some of my favorites from the session. Thanks again for hanging out with us guys!

Andrea + James: Lancaster Cork Factory Wedding

Farid — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 04:57:30 +0000

We can’t imagine starting off the year with a sweeter couple than Andrea and James. They are probably one of the most laid back couple we’ve had the privilege to shoot for! Even the snow couldn’t stop us from going out for some bridal portrait fun in the evening!

The Lancaster Cork Factory hotel was awesome as usual, and special thanks for my good friend Jim Heine for coming out to help out! Enjoy some of our favorites below!

The Best of 2012: Weddings & Engagements

Farid — Sat, 29 Dec 2012 04:11:14 +0000

2012 was simply a blur for us at Far/Wid Photography. Before we realize it, we just wrapped out our last wedding for the year, which was Annie & David at Antrim 1844. We have often said without the slightest exaggeration that we’re so blessed to have such awesome clients, and we want to let you know again that we do not take your trust for granted. It means so much that you have chosen us to be the one capturing your special day, and we sincerely hope that we have far exceeded your expectations.

In 2012 we continued to learn a lot about photography, the wedding industry, and just about how to relate with people in general. We aimed to go beyond shooting the ‘pretty’ and really go after the decisive moment – to create images that make our viewers gasps when they see it. We feel like we have a long way to go but we trust that this direction will take our photography to another level in the coming years.

Without further ado, here are some of our favorites from Weddings/Engagements this year. Check it out on Vimeo for the best HD quality. Thanks again for everything and have a fabulous new year!

Antrim 1844 Wedding: Annie + David

Farid — Fri, 28 Dec 2012 01:23:48 +0000

Anyone who’ve met Annie & David will agree that these two are simply perfect for each other. So it wasn’t at all surprising that their wedding was a total celebration of their love to each other, filled with love and laughter from family and friends. Antrim 1844 looked amazing, and I couldn’t remember having a friendlier group of wedding guests, which is truly a testament of who Annie & David are. Here are some of my favorites.

Lancaster Doubletree Wedding: Brandon + Hannah

Farid — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 06:58:52 +0000

Brandon and Hannah is probably one of the most fun couple I’ve ever had the privilege to shoot. They were full of awesome ideas (we love it when our clients give us ideas!,) so laid back and awesome to work with, joked around pretty much all day long, and they are so madly in love with each other. I love everything about this wedding, not the least due to the fact that Brandon is a good friend of mine! There were so many moments throughout the day that reminded me once again why I love doing what I do, and for that, Brandon & Hannah, THANK YOU!

She’s walking in to Alicia Key’s “This Girl is On Fire” !

This past weekend Far/Wid Photography invaded Boston to shoot Krissy + Adam’s super awesome wedding! We have been so excited for this day to arrive and finally meet them. They were getting ready at the Renaissance Hotel at Patriots Place, and the reception was held at Lakeview Pavillion. The most awesome Maura shot this wedding with us and we had a blast working with Krissy and Adam! Here are some of our favorites.
