In order to join the fight against breast cancer, Rima Campbell Photography will be giving $100 to Get Hitched Give Hope for every session booked in September. In order to qualify, the session must take place in September in the New York City area (unless you are willing to pay travel expenses). There is no limit to the type of session (i.e., bridal, engagement, wedding, senior, baby, boudoir, maternity, pet, etc.).

Here’s how it works:

1. Call now to schedule your September session. I am going to try to squeeze in as many sessions as I can, but unfortunately, time is limited. Please call early to guarantee maximum scheduling flexibility.

#helloSAL

July 26, 2010

Last night I had the honor of being the photographer at #helloSAL, a “reveal” party for one of Pittsburgh’s most darling icons – Secret Agent L. You can read about Laura and her adventures in Pittsburgh here. The event was a total success and raised over $1,500 for the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). Here are a few shots from the party. If you were there, or wish you had been, leave a comment and share something about the evening!

There were lots of neat things to bid on at the silent auction - craft brews, hand bags, stationary, gift certificates, books and more...


The Firehouse Lounge was serving up $5 sangrias that even the most die-hard beer drinkers couldn't resist.



SAL set up a Mini Mission Station for people to take part in.




At 9:00 p.m. SAL revealed what everyone had been waiting for...herself!


#helloSAL quickly evolved into a dance party on the terrace and continued well past the event's scheduled time.

Jason and I met while working together in the same public relations office three years ago. When he first introduced me to Jenny at a game night hosted at my old apartment, I knew she was here to stay. She hit it off with all of Jason’s friends immediately (not an easy feat — we’re a tough crowd!) and it didn’t take long for Jason to pop the question. I was able to celebrate with them at their engagement party at Beaver Falls Coffee & Tea Co. and it was there that they asked me to be their wedding photographer — to which I immediately exclaimed “YES!”

The two were married at the Syracuse RP Church in Syracuse, New York with a reception at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo. The zoo has a beautiful ballroom perfect for weddings and a catering service that will blow your mind (best wedding food of my career as a wedding photographer!). For photos we went to Onondaga Park, a place reminiscent of a Jane Austin novel. Here are a few of my favorite pictures from their day. Leave them a comment and if they get 25, I’ll send them a free 11×14 print of their choice!

James and Starr were married on July 10 at The Aurora Inn in Aurora, New York. Set on the shores of Cayuga Lake amidst a tiny, heritage village in the heart of the Finger Lakes, the Aurora Inn has a pedigree dating back to 1833 and made for the perfect setting for James and Starr’s special day. This past spring, James and Starr and I grabbed dinner in Pittsburgh’s Strip District to go over their wedding plans and get to know each other a little better. It was like dining with friends — lots of laughs and a genuinely enjoyable evening. Over dinner I learned of how the couple met — on a London basketball court while Starr was studying Animal Neurology. James, who is from England, was smitten with Starr from the beginning and the two later decided to marry in the states and live there as well. Meeting James’ British family was a real treat and I couldn’t get enough of all the accents! Here are a few of my favorite moments from their day. Enjoy!

Jason and Amber were married on Jason’s grandmother’s breathtaking farm in Ozark, Ohio. Amber was a beautiful bride and I couldn’t get enough of her gorgeous smile. You could tell they put a lot of themselves into the day, as could be seen from all of the D.I.Y. details and personal touches. I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them. Congratulations Jason and Amber — I wish you the very best!









Instead of a traditional unity candle, Jason and Amber combined seeds from flowers chosen for them by their mothers and threw them into the surrounding fields (where they had already previously sewn wild flowers in preparation for their big day).








After taking some pictures at the bottom of the hill, Amber insisted on driving us all back up to the reception herself!

Urban Garden Party 2010

And last, but not least, one of yours truly, courtesy of John Altdorfer.

Amy approached me about doing her senior portraits at my grand opening celebration back in early April. We talked for about ten minutes or so and I knew right away that we were going to have a lot of fun. Over the next few weeks, we picked out three locations: North Park, Heritage Port (+ Playground) and the Aetnaville Bridge. I had been wanting to do a shoot at the Aetnaville Bridge ever since I first discovered it on a bike ride a few weeks earlier and I was thrilled when Amy told me she was up for the challenge. We really had a great time and I wish her the best as she pursues her dreams of being a broadcaster!

Here are a few of my favorites:
