Welcome to the NEW Joel Rotunda Photography!

I realize I have been sorely behind on blogging these past few months, actually “behind” might be the understatement of the year!  There has been a good reason; however, in that I have been feverishly working between sessions on a brand new look for the Joel Rotunda Photography website. Today, after months of work, I am happy to unveil the new design for the main website and blog!!

This new design is more than just an aestethic make over for the website, in fact, the website now is integrated with some of the most powerful tools available today. These tools will assist me in basic functions such as creating slideshows on the blog and keeping the portfolio up to date while also ensuring maximum cross-browser compatibility (meaning the website and blog are now viewable on more browsers and mobile devices than previously). In addition there is a load of new content on the website – some of which will be posted in the coming weeks – which will help both my former and future clients get to know me better, gain insight on my creative process, and learn about and explore the variety of sessions I offer.

I would love to hear your thoughts about the redesign, things you like and don’t, and any functionality you may like to see added at a later point.  In the meantime, I’ll be updating the blog over the next week with some awesome shoots I’ve done in the past few weeks! I hope you enjoy the new site and because I can’t bring myself to updating the blog without a photo, here’s one I snapped of the pirate guarding Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium at one of my Alma Maters, East Carolina University.

Memorial Day 2010

Memorial Day has always been a special time for me given my family’s military connections; however, this year especially living around Washington, D.C. has proven that the commitment and sacrifice of our men and women in the military is not forgotten. I encourage all of my readers to thank those who have bravely defended our freedom both here and abroad and find out ways they can help our Veterans once they return by visiting the US Department of Veteran Affairs. Pictured below is a flag that hangs in Grand Central Terminal in New York City.

Jason & Julie’s Wedding

As promised in my previous post here’s some more images from the absolutely beautiful wedding of Jason & Julie a few weekends ago.  I’ll be honest with my blog followers in saying that it was extremely difficult for me to limit this post to just nine images because there are countless images from this wedding which captured the moment.  Over the next few weeks I’m going to try and put together a slideshow of maybe the best 75-100 images from the bunch which will give me a chance to show you all a whole bunch of images without you having to scroll down for days! Thank you again Jason & Julie for letting me share this day with you all and congratulations once more!
