Shelly-John Engagement

OK, I have a small confession to make. I love my brother-in-law. Yeah, weird. I know. You might also notice a resemblance of him to the lead singer in Saline. Well, that's because HE IS the lead singer of Saline, the excellent band who does all of JPG Photography's music!

John Messner is one of those singers who's so talented that everyone in a room doesn't move, fidget or sneeze. And now he has found his love, Shelly! These two can't get much cuter. They've been together for several years, and they rekindled a friendship after a few years of separation. They met in their teens as fellow campers. Yes...campers. Rebecca, my wife, actually had Shelly as a camper one summer when she was acting as a counselor. The little things!

They are creating this theme with board games and family-centered activites for their guests, and we started getting it all together during a shoot in central-Pa. last month. It's going to be a blast!

We're so proud to add you to the family Shelly! I'm psyched about shooting your wedding. Thanks so much for this honor!

Featured on WedPix!

JPG Photography has earned the honor of being featured in this month's issue of Wedpix! Wedpix, www.wedpix.com, is the online magazine for the Wedding Photojournalist Association.

I was contacted about 5 weeks ago about being interviewed about Web site music. I was then interviewed, and now the article is up. The writer did a fantastic job.

I spoke about my relationship with Saline, a Christian-rock band based out of Pennsylvania. I talked about how our relationship formed, and how I love their sound for the Web site. JPG Photography has exclusively used Saline music for the past 18 months, and we continue to add new tracks. I've contracted with Saline to complete another track for me soon, and, as Paris Hilton would say from Jail, It's Hott!

Anyway, let me know what you think of the story and our music. Check out the article too:
