Michael & Sarah's Engagement Session LIVE from Brighthouse Field!!!

I have to say I have photographed many events over the years, but none quite as unique and special as this moment. Michael contacted me weeks ago and had everything planned to letter for this engagement. At the Phillies game at Bright House Field today, his girlfriend Sarah was picked at the 7th Inning to sing "take me out to the ballgame" in front of everyone in the stadium. Right after the song, while he had everyone's attention in the packed stadium... Michael was given the mike and proceeded to get down on one knee and propose to his girl. What a romantic gesture. Thousands of people cheered as she said YES!. We wish you both all the best and cannot wait do photograph your wedding :D. Michael and Sarah met one year ago at Bright House Field and he picked today to propose! Thank you so much for allowing us to participate in this special day!

Merits, Merits and more Merits

Hello Everyone,

There is a big difference in the photography industry between what we call a "Sellable image" and a "Salonable image". A sellable image is a great image that most photographers can take that our client loves... However a salonable image is one that wins us merits and helps bring the level of photography upward.

There are many fake awards on the internet and many websites that anyone can win an award just simply by entering, however the merits that count are the ones from distinguished organizations such as PPA (Professional Photographers of America), FPP (Florida Professional Photographers) etc. These Merits are awards only given to the highest quality of images.

Salon merits however are judged by a qualified panel of experienced and distinguished photographers. In short, these are the merits that you would like to receive as a photographer.

I am honored to announce that CCS photography has receieved its first two Merits from the Florida Professional Photographers Association during this month's convention. This was the first time that our company started competing at state level (or at any level for that matter) and we were all thrilled with the results. We are quite honored to have received these Merits.

Below are the two examples that were entered that received a Merit:








Title: Blue Passion












Title: Just the Two of Us








Again, we are just thrilled that the first time entering these prints that we took 2 Merits.

We love producing quality images for our clients and we look forward to winning more Merits next year!

More Blogging Soon so Stay Tuned.

Blessings to you all,

Roger Slater
(Vice President and Lead Photographer)
