Trash The Wedding Dress with Licete and Peter

You would never be able to tell from these pictures how cold it really was... but Licete and Peter were super brave to face the 30 degree weather at the beach for a trash-the-wedding-dress session. Unlike our other beach sessions, we didn't go into the water... although Licete, being a dare devil and all was 100% for it. (We'll do it but for their 1-year anniversary when it's a bit water =). In any case, I totally applaud these two for their determination.

Licete & Peter - you guys are the best, I don't think we would be so brave to do what you did. Thanks for sticking it out in the cold - I hope you didn't freeze much and that you had as much fun as we did!




The above image is what I shot while Ania was taking a picture of me (below).



We had an amazing sunset - the fall sunsets are just devine. They happen quick (maybe 7 minutes) but they are worth it.

Amazing talent, wonderful people
Ania and Jacek are an amazing married duo themselves that equate to the yin and yang of photography. Both are extremely talented and with the combination of their visions, they can honestly capture beautiful memories that will last a life time. We first chose them because we really liked the packaged deals they offered and the gorgeous albums that come with it. We are so glad we did because everyone is completely blown away with the final results, albums, proof books, retouched photos, etc. Not only were we REALLY happy with the final results, but they were so amazing to work with. They were completely non-invasive but still managed to capture the most precious, perfect moments and facial expressions without ever being noticed by others. They took beautiful pictures of small & unique details that end up making all the difference in picking out your final album/ proof photos. I would recommend these photographers to anyone who wants beautiful, everlasting photos that span well beyond your amazing day!

PERFECT Wedding Album--PERFECT photos
I have to admit that we are extremely happy with the services and end-products that Jacek and Ania did. Our wedding album is absolutely exquisite!!! There isn’t a thing that we would change in it—perfect keepsake for years to come. All photos that were taken are piece of art, well thought out but at the same time showing huge creativity!!!! Also, we aren’t the only ones that were happy with Jacek and Ania’s work. Our guests loved them as well; they were very polite & always smiling. We highly recommend Jacek & Ania’s services—you won’t be disappointed!!! Ania & Jacek—thank you so much for capturing our most important day!!!

Best Possible Experience - Highly Recommend
Ania and Jack were absolutely the BEST. I just received my final album, everything is so perfect!! The pictures were so tasteful and elegant, while also capturing the warmth of the wedding. Ania and Jack were so patient throughout the day and so professional. The album design was so nice! I highly recommend them. I spoke to lots of photographers but Ania and jack just seemed better. Also, their prices were GREAT - i got a wonderful flushmount album, hundreds of prints and enlargements with proofs for less than the cost of many others' most basic - nothing included - packages.

Wonderful... We looooooved them!!!!
Discover photo was everything and more than we could have asked for in a photographer. This husband and wife team is energetic, hard-working, not intrusive, and very skilled. Their pleasant, patient, and easy-going personalities made it a joy to work with them before, during, and after the wedding. Hiring them was the best decision we made in our wedding planning process. We loved the pictures they took (so many of them!!) and the albums they created for us. They captured every moment of our special day; nothing was missed because they were always ready when something happened. They even went beyond that by offering instruction and help with coordinating some of the events during the reception. However, they never got in the way which allowed us to enjoy each-other and our day. We love them and have recommended and will continue to recommend them to anyone.

Memories for a lifetime
Ania and Jacek did an absolutely amazing job with our engagement session and wedding. Discover Photo is a great husband and wife team that take incredible pictures. My husband isn't a camera person and hates taking pictures, but Ania and Jacek made him feel so comfortable with their personalities and creative style. I can't believe how much was included in our package and the pictures are just breathtaking. So friendly, so professional, and so wonderful to work with. We recommend Ania and Jacek highlly! Don't wait and book them today! ! !

BURNOUT - VERY FUNNY VIDEO

Take a moment to Relax!

E-Session with Elise and Jordan

We had a super great time photographing Elise & Jordan's e-session the other day... they were funny, easy going and so natural, and we can't wait to photograph their wedding next year.

Elise & Jordan have a similar story to ours (Ania's and mine that is)... they met at a party during college while Jordan was here on a scholarship as a professional soccer player from England, and they hit it off. Now, almost 8 year laters, they are tying the knot next July.

It was so easy to photograph these two - they simply fell into place. Elise you really have amazingly beautiful blue eyes. Honestly, there is no retouching done here, these are her natural eyes!! Congratulations on your engagement & looking forward to next year!

Congratulations Molly and Kristian










This was an attempt to take some photos outside right before the reception (outside the country club in the rain) - - we only took a couple shots and resigned as it was already too dark and of course it was raining.

In the foyer at Grassy Hill Country Club
Although Molly & Chris didn't know this, the cake didn't arrive until about 5 minutes before the introductions... this definitely kept the catering manager on her toes! But the cake turned out beautiful!
Molly & her dad

What an incredibly difficult weather-wise day...it was cloudy, windy, rainy and cold. It seemed like the day was going to be sunny, but as we were leaving Molly's house to the church it turned cloudy and a bit rainy. Overall everything turned out ok as we managed to take all the family photos at the church, and those fun formals back at Molly's house in the backyard with some colorful background. Molly and Chris were a great pleasure to work with - both make a great couple and we wish them all the best on their new journey together!! (Congrats you two!!)
