Dana and Phil

Dana and Phil are due back from their honeymoon today! Their wedding was awesome! I wish I could photograph it again.

Here is a slide show from my Pictage site.

A GREAT start to a new school year

High school senior portrait sessions are one of my favorites. Your High School Senior picture defines you.

• It sits on you mother's fireplace mantel FOREVER !
•  At your class reunions, its the one that says who you were
• at many class reunions they make name tags with your Senior picture
• For most of us it is the only time in our lives where the camera explores only us. When you get married a lot of pictures are taken but that special moment is shared.
• At Mark Rychel Photographers we photograph you as  the special individual you are. No cookie cuttter portraits.
• We will capture what makes you you.

Meet me in St. Louis

Last week was awesome. I had the opportunity to take pictures at Lionel and Rachel's wedding. Both are personal friends and connected the work being done in Haiti. This was my first time to St. Louis and I found it very comfortable, just like Cleveland,in many respects.
 Rachel and Lionel's pictures are here:

Incredible Photographer

I had the opportunity to attend a meeting of the Society of Northern Ohio Professional Photographers (www.sonopp.com) last night. Herb Ascherman a giant on the Cleveland Photography scene was the featured speaker. http://www.ascherman.com/

In these days of lack of craftsmanship in the photography world herb was a breath of fresh air. The projects that he has chosen over the years, which are highlighted on his website have made the world a better place. I am inspired  by what he does. Check him out.
