Michael Miville — Fri, 11 May 2012 18:12:17 +0000

With summer just around the corner, a couple of great sunglasses stores have opened up on Queen St. in the heart of downtown Lancaster. I was blessed to be able to take some photos of these of the grand opening for Spex In The City and Rec Spex.

If you are looking for the highest end fashion sunglasses that all of the stars are wearing and just to make yourself look fantastic, look no further than Spex In The City. Keep in mind, they don’t just look awesome but they are high end and made from the highest quality lenses and materials. Gucci, Prada, Dior, Fendi, Kate Spade, Dolce and Gabbana, Tiffany and much more! Stop in and say hi, they are great people as well!

Next, if you do any type of sports from running, to biking, riding motorcycles, to playing sports, or even just chasing your kids around, Rec Spex has what you are looking for in high end sports sunglasses. Brands such as Oakley, Nike and Bollé along with many others!

The Wedding Ride

Michael Miville — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 11:24:03 +0000

An important part of a wedding – and often times an important part of many events leading up to the wedding – is transportation.While your wedding will likely be the most memorial day of your life, it can also be the busiest, so planning reliable, stress-free travel is a must for any bride and groom.

One of my favorite transportation services is Expressions Limousines located in Ephrata, Pa. Expressions Limousine is a family owned business founded in 1999 with the simple philosophy to “treat each customer the way we would expect to be treated”. Expressions is fully licensed and insured, with a complete fleet of luxury vehicles and a friendly staff of professional chauffeurs.

Expressions offers a wide array of travel options from classic limos to Hummer Limousines to trolleys and much more, perfect for the wedding day, bachelorette and bachelor parties and assisting out-of-town guest to and from the airport.

Choosing the travel option that is right for your wedding can be as diverse as wedding styles themselves. Consider the size of your wedding party and who else may be riding along with you to ensure your vehicle will accommodate everyone. Also, let your travel style reflect the overall theme of the day. If you’re planning an over-the-top bash, a Hummer limousine will keep your wedding party feeling like high-rollers before the wedding even starts. An elegant affaire may prefer the sleek style of a classic limo. While an outdoor or artistic wedding may enjoy the whimsy of oak benches and brass accents in Expressions’ trolleys.

Expressions offers many choices for your special day, with options to accommodate 6 to 28 passengers. All Wedding Limousines come equipped with water, snacks, soda, non-alcoholic champagne, glassware, coordinated napkin colors, a red carpet, “Just Married” signs and a properly attired driver – all at no extra charge.

You can meet the team at Expression Limousines next Sunday, January 15 at The Best Wedding Showcase, hosted by Renee Kopp at the Host Resort in Lancaster.

For admission discounts look for the Miville Photography ad in this month’s Clipper Magazine or visit us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/mivillephotography and be sure to stop by and see us as well for special discounts and giveaways.

Down by the Susquehanna

Julie and Shaun’s wedding along the river was held at Shank’s Mare on York side of the Susquehanna River. With some beautiful colors, details and a beautiful ceremony that seemed magical along the waterfront, this wedding was spectacular and fun at the same time. Enjoy the photos and don’t be too jealous that they are in shorts while it’s now cold. It was steamy and hot that day!

Enjoy these photos and check out more from this day over at my Facebook page.

Such cute shoes!

Julie looking amazing!

The girls having “fun”!

Awwwww!!

Fun on the river!

How cute are they!!?

Their rings were beautiful!

A special moment by themselves!

Lauren & Scott’s Lauxmont Wedding

Michael Miville — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 01:03:54 +0000

The wedding of Lauren & Scott was held in the Sunken Gardens of Lauxmont Farms. I was brought in to help photograph their wedding by Katy of Katy Trefry Photography who’s family owns the farms. While I was photographing the guys, Katy and Jamie were photographing the girls. It was a bit warm and humid on the day and a chance of rain was making things move a little quicker.

After the entrance of the groom and groomsmen, the bridesmaids came down the long steps into the sunken garden and were joined by the bride and her loving dad. The ceremony was just beautiful and rain free. After a few family, wedding party and bride & groom photos, we made our way down to the reception just as the skies started to open up. Luckily the reception was under one of the tents overlooking the Susquehanna River. The humidity started to take it’s toll on the cake, as you can see the leaning tower of cake below. So, they cut it before dinner. They also had some awesome shortcake in glasses for those who didn’t want any cake. Everything was beautiful and it turned out to be a great time despite the weather. Enjoy the photos.

Our New Home

Michael Miville — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 11:01:05 +0000

Today is the Grand Opening in downtown Lancaster of our new office space, The Candy Factory. I’m so happy that our businesses have gotten to a point where office space has become necessary. It’s very exciting and scary at the same time. I will have some landscape photography showing inside as well as a photo, which may be one of my best ever, that I took the other week at our faux bridal shoot. I haven’t revealed the photo anywhere. So, if you’ve got a little time tonight, you should come say hi and check out our new space. It looks like it’s going to be a wonderful night to walk around downtown Lancaster on a First Friday. We hope to see you out.

The location is 323 N. Queen St., Lancaster, PA 17603.

Candy, candy candy!

Hey everyone, I just wanted to send out a few quick things and send you in the direction of an awesome photog to check out. First, no I’m not slacking on putting up blog posts. I just literally don’t have the time at the moment. I’ve been so busy photographing and trying to get caught up on post work that I just haven’t been able to write one. Stay tuned in the following weeks however, I’ve got some fun Get To Know You sessions, family sessions and stuff that even amazed me when I looked down at the camera. It’s been a busy summer and it doesn’t look like it’s going to slow down until late October. So, keep checking back, I will get back on my Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule next week.

In the meantime, this is Chase Jarvis.

He is truly one of my photographer inspirations at the moment. Capturing still photos as well as video. I must say that not only is he someone I look up to photographically, but he just seems to have way too much fun doing it all. If I only had half of his energy and vision I’d consider myself an elite photographer. He inspires so many people and this past weekend I had the opportunity to try something truly amazing and it was inspired by him. So, thank you Chase!

Check him out at ChaseJarvis.com and his Chase Jarvis blog, also check out his book The Best Camera and his iPhone app.

Winner! Winner! Chicken Dinner

Michael Miville — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 10:32:04 +0000

Sorry, no real blog post today, just too busy trying to catch up. But I wanted to update you on something pretty awesome that just happened to me yesterday. I entered a contest the other week put on by this awesome photographer Jessica Claire. The winners get the opportunity to go on a photo walkabout with Jessica and a couple of models in NYC followed by a short processing class with a Q&A. I’m sure thousands entered, simply because she has a pretty big following. Not only does she have that following because of her photography but also because of her line of photography equipment bags called Shootsacs.

I was going through my email yesterday and came across what I thought looked like an ad for a Shootsac and without fully reading it, I deleted it. A few minutes later I got an email from someone on Facebook congratulating me on winning the Jessica Claire Walkabout and Classroom and as another winner she would meet me in NYC. I am pretty skeptical and almost thought that was spam because I didn’t recognize the name at first. After thinking about what she was talking about for a couple of minutes, I decided to go back to the original email that I deleted from Shootsac. I pulled it out of the trash and that’s when I realized I had been one of the lucky 15 winners. I was blown away and I’m totally stoked to go hang in NYC with Jessica and some other really good photogs. I plan to take plenty of pictures and some video which I’ll share when I return. The walkabout is on June 28th and is sponsored and hosted by Adorama, so I’m sure they’ll have some gear to check out.

Keep checking the blog to see some pictures of the walkabout. You can also check out the Shootsac Blog which shows my name on the list of winners. I still can’t believe it’s on there. Have a great Friday everyone!
