I cannot WAIT to share the images from Ashley and Owen’s incredible wedding. For the meantime, I’ve been culling down through their digital images - and I have been just blown away by the intimacy in our night series…
So, this wedding was absolutely gorgeous, and I’m so excited to share it on the blog! Check back soon for a full post once I have the film images. These two amaze me in so many ways - and it was an honor to photograph their wedding day!
Yesterday, I had the honor of photographing Ashley and Owen’s incredible wedding. What a blast and what a bash! There are so many amazing moments to share - but I was so excited about our night shots that I couldn’t wait to throw one up on the blog. Maybe I’ll add a few others in the next couple days! So here’s an insta-fave straight out of camera. I love so many elements of this image, and I certainly love the new Mr. and Mrs. Peak! Congratulations y’all!
Spec Info: Shot with Video light, ISO 2000, 85mm, 1.4, 1/40, WB - Tungsten
And yes, it’s raining in this shot - you can see the drizzle more in some of the others - I’ll get them up soon.
I had a special request to post images from this session…so here you go! Meet Katie and Jonathan, a fun, laid-back, approachable couple who kept me laughing all afternoon.
Katie and I hit it off pretty fast. She came in to meet with me about her wedding coming up in May 2010, and we just clicked. I think I really identify with how expressive she is, and I appreciate her honesty in her relationships. Once we both took a seat and let our hair down, we just got each other right away - and I was really excited about the collaboration. I met Jonathan this fall during our shoot, and immediately I loved how much he loved Katie. He was so easy to work with and had a great time playing with Katie. They’re just fun dangit! So, check out some images from their engagement session…
Serious blog slack attack anyone? Here’s the deal…this blog has been DOA. It really should be thriving right now, but instead of coming more vividly to life with more things going on - it has very sadly gotten a little kicked to the curb. I feel like every time I blog, I inevitably say, “this time will be differently…I’ll blog so much more after this post”, and then I fail to follow through. But this time, it really is different…(and yes, I know that the definition of insanity is doing the exact same thing and expecting different results)…but this is why: I have tons of stuff to post, and I’m going to match Marcie. Wait, what? Nope, you read that right.
Here is my goal: I will match Marcie Morris’ blog posts for a month, starting today. Don’t worry, I’ll explain.
First of all, this is not a resolution, nor does it have anything to do with the New Year. It’s a separate goal. So, a little about Marcie: she is one of my clients who is an incredible encourager of this blog, and is also an avid blogger of her own. I am always amazed at where she seems to find the time to do all the things she does…really. Even to re-designing her blog theme on what seems like a weekly basis. But that’s beside the point. Marcie is so faithful to her blog that it constantly inspires me (and also makes me feel like the biggest slacker in the blogosphere) - so I am pledging to match her from now until January 21, 2010. Every time Marcie posts, so will I.
And there you have it. Random? Absolutely. Fun? Yep. Unattainable? We’ll see!
Here is a tiny taste of some yummy posts to come…
We have so many beautiful weddings and projects to post, that I’m really unsure of where to start. So, instead of beginning with a complete blog post on a client or job, I thought I would start with a product. For, as every photographer is well aware, December is the month of deadlines, orders, and albums galore!
The product I’m going to share is Margot and Chris’s Wedding Album. So, here’s the skinny. I LOVE this album. I think it has something to do with the interesting aesthetic of the digital and film images complementing each other. The black and white images in this album were shot on Ilford 3200, Neopan 1600, and Kodak 400 film. The color images were shot on Portra 400NC, Provia 400 (cross-processed), and digital. I find putting together all these different mediums oddly pleasing - the trick is shooting each image in the same style.
A little background - I knew when I first met Margot and her mother at the studio that I we would all work well together. They laugh…a lot…and so do I. Margot has such a joyful spirit. When I look at her images I smile because she is just always so happy! Chris was quite the trooper for the past year. First of all, he got up at the crack of dawn to meet me at Five Star Plantation in Alabama this past spring for their engagement session, (which is one of my faves to date). Then, on his wedding day, in the rain, he agreed to trek all over Mountain Brook with his Bride under an umbrella. I couldn’t be more appreciative of his willingness to indulge Margot, and me!
Their wedding was so unique for many reasons. I’ll definitely share more images and back story in a different, more traditional client post. (There also may be another chance for you to see a more editorial view of their wedding day, and read about Margot & Chris elsewhere. *hint*)!
Technical Information: this album was designed with Photojunction, one of my studio must-haves! All templates were designed by our studio or my good friend Melissa Jill. This is not the album in its entirety, just an overview of the book. Each layout is a complete flush-mount spread.
It kicks off with a sweet image from the nursery in Crestline Village…
Okay, the flush black and white image on this spread is one of my absolute favorites from the entire day! I love how it comes together with the color images.
How much fun is this spread?! I feel like this is the ultimate example from this book of a solid mix of mediums.
Sometime you have to save the best for last…
So, there you have it - a peek into one of our wedding albums for 2009. Check back for a client post on Margot and Chris in the next month!
It’s teaser time! Completely hot and awesome images to come from Erin & Adam’s Engagement Session - but check out a few at random for now. I can’t wait to post this session, and all the others I have backed up. They’re coming soon and steadily from the West Coast! Thank you Erin and Adam for a fantastic day, and for putting up with my driving. It happens…
