Welcome to my photojournal!
I'm an extremely lucky person: I get to photograph people in love and those they love most! That means engagements, weddings, maternity, kids, and pets. Not too bad, huh?
The majority of my work is weddings. I find it to be extremely challenging- sort of like game day for you football fans or a ballet performance at the Bolshoi. On one day I need to muster all of my physical strength (~8 hours of cameras and equipment, in various poses), mental acuity (anticipating every moment), skill (manipulating available tools and light to achieve my vision), and experience (weddings since 2003 in varying conditions) to create an exceptional artistic product...with an easygoing, calm, smiling exterior. Some people just can't do them; I was made for them! There's fashion, still life, portrait, editorial, event, even food, all rolled into one. Fun!
I joined forces with Ryan Joseph of R. Joseph Photographics in 2004. In September 2008, I started marketing under my own name again: Amy Pezzicara Photography...and then shortened it to Pezz Photo. Prior to photography I was designing museums- all the cool experiences that happen inside them, like creating/prototyping exhibits, researching/writing the signage, doing custom photography...which is how I found out I was good enough to do photography full-time. Before that, I was firmly entrenched in the non-profit world of science museums and science teaching. I still keep one foot in the museum world by volunteering for the Florida Museum of Photographic Arts. I also volunteer for Heart Gallery and Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep. I graduated summa cum laude from Johnson State College in VT with a B.S. in Environmental Science after transferring from American University in D.C. where I'd been studying International Communications.
I am a member of the Professional Photographers of America and National Association of Catering Executives.
You can find some examples of my work here and on www.pezzphoto.com; I'd really encourage you to meet with me to see the finished product. For those of you planning destination weddings, we can take care of it all online and through some really great event planners. I am an experienced traveler. Just give me a call and we can discuss your needs.
Thanks for visiting!
