Raechelle & John’s June Wedding

One of my favorite images from this wedding occurred after the ceremony when Grandma was giving John advice. She has her index finger extended as she counts the number of ways to make Raechelle happy. As a photographer, I feel that the camera should be perpetually glued to my eye. You can never recreate spontaneity! I hope you enjoy!!!

Liz & John’s August Wedding

It may be frosty, okay downright freezing today in the Pittsburgh area, but Liz and John’s wedding occurred in late August. The weather that day was just like this couple – gorgeous and beautiful! We were greeted by an extremely happy, Liz whose smile was contagious. Everyone was brimming with excitement as hints of lavender, purple and white danced to a synchronized ballet. It was difficult for me to narrow down some of the best images from Liz and John’s wedding, but I hope you can be satisfied with just a sample of this gorgeous couple.

If you are getting married or know of anyone that is, please confide in us to capture all of your wedding memories. I always run specials during the month of February where you can save 20% off your wedding, portrait and pet portrait bookings. I refer to this as the “Sweetheart Special” because I believe that everyone should celebrate life and dance the cosmos! I hope you enjoy! http://www.amcgregorphotography.com

Candace & Andrew’s September Wedding Day

This smokin’ couple enjoyed the benefits of having a late September wedding. It wasn’t a scorching afternoon nor was it frigid. That wonderful Southern sun appeared to embrace everything in gold. The roses were at their crowning glories and upheld that prestige with sweet fragrances. This golden sun danced on Candace’s shoulders and tiara while Andy was completely chillin’.

There wasn’t any crazy pandemonium before the ceremony, no one was nervous and no one fainted. These two were completely committed to spending eternity together. It is such an amazing experience to witness all of these feelings of joy, love and good vibes.

So without further ado, it gives me such great pleasure to announce, “Candace and Andrew’s Wedding Day”.

Senior Portraits & Cyber Marketing

TessaAMC_0743AMC_0855

How do people do it? In this 24/7 world where sleep never rests, we are expected to produce at maximum capacity AND write a weekly blog? When I entertained the idea of writing a blog, I thought that it was going to be a piece of cake. All the reasons to “drive more traffic to your site, get a better SEO ranking, people will love hearing about photo sessions and techniques, etc. etc. etc.” Well it has been 8 long months since that first blog, and I have produced only a handful. Yay me. This brings me back to my opening question, “How do people do it?” It is difficult for me to maintain a prolific blog in the height of summer and into autumn. So please excuse the timing of this blog, since Tessa’s portrait session occurred FIVE MONTHS AGO!!!

Tessa called me after searching the internet for a photographer to take her senior portraits. She requested to have her portraits taken at Cedar Creek Park along the scenic Youghiogheny River. In keeping true to pleasing clients, my prices are very reasonable and competitive for professional photography: they can change into as many outfits as they bring and two 8x10s & two accordion-book keepsakes are included with every portrait session. This fee also covers travel, editing, online proofing, mailing out reprints, etc. A photo session typically lasts an hour.

Tessa had a great time. She was completely into the photo session and the environment truly expressed her love for nature. She brought a change of clothes and the session lasted a little over an hour. There are many things that have changed since I first started my business. Pleasing clients, taking photos and marketing yourself were the main priorities. I loved getting new clients based on referrals from past clients the same as I love getting those referrals now. It is the best compliment anyone can receive. However, the marketing landscape has changed with the explosion of the internet and search directories. It is almost incomprehensible what a small business owner must do to keep afloat. As of today, I have zero reviews of my business on Angie’s List, Yahoo, Google or the fifty thousand other search directories. Who has time to create an account, sign in and write reviews in this 24/7 world? I don’t blame people for not writing reviews. Honestly, I have never written a review, and I have received excellent service as well as horrible service in the past. To stay on track with marketing Aaron McGregor Photography in this cyber world, I will be posting more blogs over the winter about photo shoots that occurred in the summer and fall! I am sure you are chomping at the bit to see more blogs about weddings, portraits and pet sessions. I know I will be writing them over the next 24/7s!!!
