Where to begin with Katie and Anthony Milane? Should you click the links to Before the Ceremony, the Ceremony, the Formals or the Reception? My advice: scroll to the middle through the end of the “Formals” gallery. You will witness their unconditional love for one another and more. A huge congrats to Katie and Anthony! You two are Rockstars! Small business Saturday? Cyber Monday? My answer is Yes! to both! I can count my business partners on four fingers! Thank you to my wife, Heather who keeps me sane and my son, Emmett, who wants to be a photographer when he grows up, just like Daddy! In addition, thank you to my business partner, Chris Lane for being there when I need you and your energy & creativity! The fourth partner deserves the biggest hug: my clients and repeat clients!!! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You & Thank You All! Here’s their link!!! Katie and Anthony 10-1-17 and the venue The Hayloft

A Wedding Among the Trees

Posted on by

When a couple plan their wedding, they create a microcosm of their existence and relationship together. Cory and Kevin celebrated their nuptials in Linn State Park in the scenic Laurel Highlands, Ligonier, PA. Being Cory’s friend, I was amazed but not surprised by her carefree attitude and adventuresome spirit as she hiked the trails in her gown BEFORE the ceremony! I regard the photo of her with her flower girls as one of my best images to date! I wish them the Best of Wishes! Congratulations Cory & Kevin Bowen! #browenwedding www.amcgregorphotography.com

Photo Marketing Tips

Posted on by

“Wowzers!” you say. “I am getting clients from all over the place!” Sure I get some local bookings from recommendations on Facebook, or from word of mouth, but most people find me on Google. Hello!?! How many of you are surprised at a good ol’ Googling? I get contacted from people living in California, Minnesota, NYC & even Europe who need a photographer in the Pittsburgh area. I ask them, “How did you hear about me?” – Are you sitting? Their response, “I searched Google!” At this I click my ruby slippers and say, “There’s no place like homepage!” I applaud Search Engine Optimizations on my webhost, PhotoShelter. I do not advertise on the web nor feel the need to do so. I enjoy the benefits of pleasing clients and having them recommend me to their friends & family. By adhering to this marketing plan, I can keep prices within your budget! Best wishes and congratulations to Caitlin & Matt on their wedding in Pittsburgh, PA. Did I mention that having a blog on WordPress has it’s benefits too! I hope you enjoy these images of this gorgeous couple. amcgregorphotography.com

Seeing the Light

Among the perils of being a professional photographer is the ability to maintain a blog, web site, marketing and business plan and accounting ledger on a daily basis. Oh wow! Did I mention collaborating with clients and capturing their dreams and editing their photos? First and foremost, congratulations to Sara & Nick on their marriage. They were married and had their reception at the Omni William Penn in Pittsburgh, PA. It was delightful to say the least. My mission this year is to teach techniques and relate my experiences so budding photographers know what they are getting into and would like some insights. Here are the first tips of 2017! #1. Become a marketing Guru #2. Understand ISO, aperture and shutter speeds #3. Embrace and capture Light in all forms #4. Expect everything to happen when you are daydreaming and #5 Live. Love. Embrace!
