Brie and Michael's Wedding

I had the pleasure of traveling to Dearborn to capture the photographs of Brie and Michael's wedding. What a great couple to work with!! The wedding party was also a great deal of fun. The reception was held at Lovett Hall in historic Greenfield Village in Dearborn.

Senior Portraits are Heating Up

I just have to say, does it get any better than this? I am having such a ball doing senior portraits this year. My clients have been so much fun. New backgrounds, and finding little spots outside is always a huge kick for me. Being downtown opens the door for so many cool places to shoot. I will just share a few images from recent sessions.

By the way, there are a few summer slots left, but the phone has been busy since Cherry Festival ended......summer goes fast from here on out!

First time race, Run for Shelter , a big success!

Over 300 people showed up to participate in the first ever "Run for Shelter" 5k race. The race was originated to raise money for the Goodwill Inn in Traverse city.

The race was conceived and organized by Karl Bastian of Greenlight Marketing and Bill Lancaster of Lancaster Photography. Run for Shelter raised almost $7,000.00 for Goodwill Inn, northern Michigan's largest homeless shelter.

The event was made possible by incredible community support, great volunteers, participants, TC Track Club and sponsors: Cerca Trova, web marketing, Running Fit, Greenlight Marketing, Lancaster Photography, The Copy Shop, Fast Physical Fitness, Northern Express, Oryanan Natural Foods, American Proficiency Insititute, Benjamin Triggs, Northwestern Bank, Alfie, Cherry Hill Haven, and Everywhere U Go.

Welcome!!

Welcome to the new Lancaster Photography Blog.

If your aren't familiar with Lancaster Photography lets give you a little background info.......My name is Bill Lancaster and I have been creating portraits for 20 some years in Traverse City Michigan. We are located in downtown Traverse City on Front Street. Lancaster Photography is in the heart of all the downtown action, like Cherry Festival, TC Film Festival, and Downtown Friday Night Live.

I am known for using downtown Traverse City architecture and its surrounding parks, and sandy beaches as a backdrop for our senior portraits and wedding photography. My senior portrait style, although laid back in nature, has a fashion edge to it. Our wedding photography style is photojournalist without losing the romance that every wedding exhibits.

When I am not attached to a camera, you will find me mountain biking a sweet piece of Northern Michigan singletrack trail or training for marathon ( I recently completed the Bayshore Marathon, and qualified for the Boston marathon). I also am an avid downhill skier, and am a student of the blues guitar. I am married to Teri, and have two children, Dylan, who just graduated high school, and Margaux, who is attending Traverse City West High School.
