JOHN STANGO – URBAN POP ARTIST

Even though this blog is wedding focused, from time to time I will highlight some of my corporate or fine art work, to keep my followers informed about what else I am working on.  Recently, I had the great privilege to photograph Urban Pop Artist John Stango’s paintings for his new website.  His colorful pallatte and large scale paintings were a nice alternative to photographing people, especially during the winter months when the wedding season is slower.  John’s work appears in public and private collections including those of Jessica Simpson, Sylvester Stallone, Nicole Miller, and Governor Ed Rendell.  Aside from loving the art, John and Mimi, his rep, are great people to work with!!  Visit his site to see more of his work as well as mine.

We had fun doing some alternative style portraits of John as he became part of his painting of Marilyn Monroe.

I was thrilled to be contacted and selected to have one of my weddings featured in the fall/winter issue of Brides.com Magazine – Real Weddings.  I photographed Sondra and Carl’s wedding last August 2nd and they were such a photogenic and fun couple that I immediately featured them on my website.  They were married at Appleford  and Beautiful Blooms did a fabulous job on the flowers. Their wedding was a natural choice for me when I was asked for submissions to Real Weddings.  You can see the full spread on pages 138 – 139 as well as more images from the wedding at Laurie Beck Photography.
